Elle - 2 months

2 months are in the books for this little girl of ours. We're enjoying our baby Elle being awake more often. She's a joy to have around! 

Elle's 2 month stats:

• Weighs 11lbs 7oz and is 23 inches long - becoming chunky...mmmm! :)
• Makes a few little sounds here and there. Jayne loves it when she hears her make noises
• We're figuring her out - how to read her sleepy cues vs hunger cues
• Usually wakes up just once in the night and then around 7...right now I just put her back to bed and she'll sleep until about 9-10am. It helps me get things going with Jayne in the morning
• No longer a "carseat fusser" and will go to sleep quickly in the car or if rocked in it
• Loves her swing. She sleeps really well in it and is content to just hang out there

Sometimes Phil and I just look at each other and say, "We have two kids! We're a family." Sometimes it is crazy, sometimes we're tired but we wouldn't trade it for anything. We love little Elle! Happy two months!

Elle's Baby Blessing

Elle was given a beautiful blessing by her Dad on August 16th, 2015. We blessed her in my parents' ward because she was lucky enough to share her day with my brother Justin, who had also had his mission homecoming that day. It was so special to celebrate little Elle and to see our family and friends.

  

Elle was a little bit fussy in her dress (I mean, the frills! Come on mom!) so we just snapped a quick picture... it's not the best but I wanted it for our records.

Our little Bennallack family!

 Mommy and Daddy love you sweet Elle. Welcome to our family!
