We can't believe how quickly things have gone. Ella is a month old. Her hair has grown and looks just like her daddy's did when he was a baby. She weighs 9 lbs 13 oz (which means she has gained 2 lbs in five weeks!) She has great head control and has since she was about two weeks old. She holds her head up to look around and at us when she is on her chest. The doctor said she is perfect. Ella was born with pustular melanosis. Its a rash that only 2% of Caucasian babies develop. It comes and goes (looks like red hives with a white center) but thankfully doesn't seem to bother her. At 2 weeks she had her first real doctors appointment for a clogged tear duct (which was healed with antibiotic ointment) at 4 weeks she had another appointment for a sinus infection. Ella sleeps fours hours at a time and gets up to eat then goes back to sleep. Around four weeks Ella smiled for the first time. She loves to lay on her play mat and play with all of the toys. She is very alert and an easy mannered baby (unless she feels ucky, then she screams...alot!)
When she was two weeks old she had her first modeling job. A friend of Lisa's does photographs and is branching out from weddings to portraits! Ella was her first baby model. The pictures are beautiful and Ella did a wonderful job! Billy left for his first business trip. Ella wasn't handling the antibiotics well and Lisa had to take her to Children's. Thankfully she is ok...and the antibiotics have been stopped.
