Two months old!

Elise Faye is two months (and one week) old! She is just the sweetest baby, no bias here :-) We had fun doing her photo shoot on the 4th!

She is filling out size 0-3 months clothes! At her 2-month check, she got shots (boo!) but weighed in and measured: 11 lbs. 9 ounces and 23 inches long (both 75th %)

So, obviously she is smiling and laughing these days. THE BEST!

Who said subsequent children have less pictures? NOT in the age of the smart phone!!

We saw family in mid-April and she got to meet her Aunt Kayla who lives in Seattle and her Great-Grandmother, whom she is named after (Faye)! She also enjoyed some girl talk with next oldest cousin Claire and Big cousin Riley as well :-)

At two months old, I want to remember this about Miss Elise:

• She LOVES to stretch out when she is getting diaper changed or dressed and have her arms up by her head when she sleeps

• She likes to be walked around and likes to be held when falling asleep

• She has become a really fast eater! She eats about 5-6 times a day (every 3-4 hours during the day and usually one time at night, although she has STTN a couple of times!)
• She stands on our tummies when we are burping her
• Elise might be a thumb or finger sucker. She is not a huge fan of the paci, and we often find her like this, even just after eating :-) 

• Her lips quiver some, even if she is not cold, and she likes to stick her tongue out and between her bottom lip (likes she chewing tobacco or something). 
• She has a fold on both ears where the pinna is fused. Both boys did not have this, but two of her girl cousins do!
• Elise is still battling hiccups daily :-( 
• She has more hair than the boys did, and it is darker. Brett hopes it stays that way :-) 
• She loves to stare at (and smile) at her reflection in my sunglasses

This gal is sleeping SO WELL: swaddled or unswaddled for naps (she can wiggle out of her swaddler like Houdini), about three longs ones a day (with her longest one in the morning), with maybe a catnap or two in there.

And she has slept up to 9 hours at night!! WHOA, I totally did not expect this, but I am so thankful she is a great sleeper! 

She sometimes sleeps (and smiles) with her eyes half open! It creeps Brett out... Her eyes seem to be getting bigger by the day! This is one area where she really favors Blake!!

She seems to love the outdoors, like her brothers. And she has long fingers like her brothers! #babygirlproblems...

mommy snapped this picture first before fixing her headband. She had fallen asleep on our way back from church one night. Elise Faye is the perfect addition to our family...and the perfect baby! We are SO in love with your baby sister!
