Elinor at 7 weeks
At 7 weeks, Elinor is all about her play mat and her mobile! She is so much more independent and loves to lie down and look at black and white squiggles and circles all while kicking and squirming and smiling! She is sleeping more at night and less during the daytime and loves sucking on her hands and rubbing on her face (we have to really watch those fingernails now!). We can’t believe how much she changes every single day. Happy 7 week birthday, Elinor!

A highlight of the past few weeks was a trip to GrandJan’s beach house in Oceanside. We loved introducing Elinor to the Pacific Ocean. Elinor was a great traveller! A low point of the past few weeks was Burke’s return to work last week. We had developed such a nice routine over the month that he was home, and now we are in the midst of establishing a new routine, which is hard for all of us! Burke misses Elinor and I know Elinor misses her daddy too. I took Elinor to the doctor this week just to get an interim weight, and she weighs nearly 10 pounds! This is a weight gain of about 2 pounds in 3 weeks and shows that Elinor is nursing really well. She is sleeping a little bit longer during the night (sometimes as long as 4-5 hours, if I’m lucky!) and since she is doing so well with gaining weight, I don’t have to worry that she’s not eating frequently enough. I have posted more pictures on Flickr so click on this sentence to access them! Bye for now!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
We promise to add a link to the past few weeks of pictures within the next few days! We are all doing well and wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!
