Ella's 1 month check up

I took Ella yesterday for her well check. She is now 9lbs 3oz, and 21 inches long! She sure is growing fast! She also got one shot, and it was just about the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. This girl isn't a huge cryer. She definitely fusses, but I have only seen her scream about 5 times ever, and most of those involve getting in her car seat. She's pretty mellow and quite. When she got the shot, she cried, and cried, and then lost her breath because she was crying so hard, then cried even more. Her little face turned beet red, and when she was finally coming down from her cry, she kept making the most heartbreaking little pouty face. I guess it was bad enough that it was worthy of her first tears! Something about seeing little tears in her eyes just absolutely broke my heart.  And, I don't know why, but for some reason that was harder to watch for me than any of the shots Carter ever had to get. Anyway, it was pretty rough. And we get to do it again in another month... awesome. I might just cry myself next time. But besides the shot, everything else went great, and she got an A+! I'm so thankful that she is healthy and growing!

And because I can't do a post without some pictures, here are a few random recent ones.

When did Carter get so huge?

 He is always wanting to help with Ella. This particular day he was trying to keep her happy while she was fussing through an outfit change. So sweet.

 My pretty girl!
