I'm 10 weeks!

Our little girl is growing up!  Still hovering right below the 10 pound mark, she is exploring and excitedly making more connections in her little world!

This week, Ella Mae began to notice mirrors, especially mom’s smile on the other side.  She also began to
spend larger amounts of time amused with the mobile above her bed, made by her loving grandMaratha 🙂  She seems very interested in moving objects this week.

She beat the Minnesota heat under the brim of her new sunhat, given by her godmother Eve, looking adorable as always!

One of her parents’ favorite new skills is the beginning of self-soothing.  Ella Mae will begin to fuss during tummy-time, but quickly her fussing will turn to gurgles at the nearby animals and toys.  What joy!  EM 10 talking to birds

Her coos now include moving the mouth in new shapes and exploring their new sounds.  She talks to us frequently and flirts often with those big eyes.

When dad is home from work, she spends good time reading.  I caught dad informing her that she should read the words in her head.  Soon dad, soon. Next week we celebrate mom’s 30th birthday, and she is honestly the best gift one could ask for.
