6 weeks

Grandma and Grandpa Smith came to stay with us over Labor Day weekend. Ellie loved taking naps with Grandma and having Grandpa read and sing to her.

Mesa Arizona Temple

We took a drive to see the site for the new Gilbert Temple and then walked around the Mesa Temple grounds. Ellie was out! She enjoyed all the driving around we did.

She found her thumbs!! We weren't too excited about having a thumb sucker but she will pacify herself for about an hour in the mornings. This means more sleep for us and her! At about 6 weeks she started sleeping regularly through the night! Yeah! She'll sleep from 7-9 hours every night. We love it!

She's also filling out! Hello chubby bunny!

Sleeping babe... although she is awake more during the day it's so much easier to take pictures when she's asleep. She is quite the wiggle worm and it's hard to get pictures that aren't blurry. But sometimes I can catch her smiling! She smiles all the time!

Ellie loves being outside. It calms her right down if she's really fussy so we will be so thankful for cooler weather. It's still in the 100's but looking forward to the 80's and 90's soon!

Check out her lovely eyelashes! I adore them! She is so gosh darn cute!

Muah!
