And lest I forget...

Last night was a big one too. Ellie pulled off the rare trifecta - Surprising mom (and mom's shirt) with her first real spit up. Then surprising mom (and mom's pants) with a Code Brown pooping incident. And finally closing the evening by surprising mom (and mom's new shirt) with a second big spit up.

Dad watched in bemusement.

Two-week doctor's visit

Big day for Ellie. Our little Ladybug has gained a full pound in the last nine days. That means she's weighing in at just under seven pounds. And that means she's pretty much caught back up with where she needs to be! Looks like the decision to induce was a great one.

But the best news is that we no longer need to wake her for feedings. Theoretically that could mean more sleep for mom and dad, but we'll see how it works out in actual practice. I'm not betting on it...

Quality time with a new blankie from Grandma I.

I think we'll keep her...

Out to Lunch #2

One of us celebrated her one week birthday by going to Los Feliz institution, Mexico City for a power lunch/nap.




The rest of us came along and actually ate.

Happy mommy

Slightly less happy baby...

Bath # 2

Much smoother than Bath #1. Despite a little bathroom accident...

Moby Wrap...

Sort of intimidating until you try it. But once you do, VERY cool!




Oh yeah, there's a baby in there.

Various stages of cuteness

Right now Ellie is changing outfits pretty much on the hour. Equal parts generosity by friends & family, and, well, bodily functions...





Bay shooting something out of her eyes at Eleanor

I'm hoping it's love...

Talking to Aunt Julie and Uncle Eric...

Some cute hospital photos I finally downloaded off my phone...




Things we did for the first time today...

Gained weight - 5oz in 2 days! Way to go, Mom's milk!

Spit-up on dad - Way to go, Mom's milk!

Ate out - Way to go, California Pizza Kitchen! Ugh.

Sweet sisters

Can I just say that Bay remains the sweetest dog in history?*







*Though in fairness, I'm not sure she realizes Eleanor exists yet.

For purposes of scale

The new normal*
