What a Wonderful Job




I had to share this video, I cry EVERY time, seriously. After 4 months I realize that being a mom is a hard job, but it really is the best job. I know that as the years go by the job will probably get harder, but it is so rewarding. I am already so proud of Ellie, she has started to fall asleep on her own like a big girl!  I know that whatever she decides to do in life, she will be great, and I wil stand by her every step of the way.

I am extremely excited for the Olympics!!

Ellie- 4 Months

I can't believe that it has been 4 months! Our lives have changed so much, but the change happened so fast that it is hard to remember what our lives were like before Ellie. She is changing constantly, sometimes it feels like I put her down for a nap and she is bigger when she wakes up an hour later.

Weight: 11lbs. 12oz.
Length: 23.5"

I fall more in love with Ellie each day. I feel like we have less rough days, partially because I am getting more use to being a mom, and Ellie is better at entertaining herself. I get to know Ellie more and more with each day that goes by, understanding what she needs. I think sometimes how great it wold be to go back to work, then I think of how much I would miss my little girl. I am so lucky to be able to stay home with her all day. She has such an amazing personality within her little body, and a constant surprised expression. I can't get over how beautiful she is and neither can anyone else. I try not to be that gushy mom who brags about her baby, but I don't have to because other people do it for me. Wherever we go people are always telling us how pretty she is, and how she looks like the Gerber baby. We are proud parents to say the least. Jared and I are so grateful for such an amazing daughter. 


 The Jungle, Ellies loves spending time in this thing.
 She rolls over and is enjoying tummy time more and more. She has discovered her reflection and thinks is funny.
 She has started to bring her knees up a bit, we might have an early crawler!
 Loves her Daddy


 She sucks on our noses and gives really great mouth kisses ;)
 I love how she will stare at us and study our faces, discovering out features.

 Loves sucking on her hands, sometimes she gags herself

PS. These pictures were taken by me, I was playing around with Jared's camera...it was fun!
