Elsie | One Month
Jun 19, 2011
Our sweet Elsie turned ONE MONTH old today! Can you believe it?! We certainly can't!
It really is amazing how fast time has flown. Between all of the extra kisses we're giving and hours of lost sleep, I feel like we've stepped into a time machine and can't seem to slow down these precious days with our girls.
Before calling it a night, here are a few of my One Month thoughts:
- Elsie's stats are as follows: 8 pounds, 8 ounces. 21.5 inches.
- She LOVES her Miracle Blanket. So much so that we're going to go out and buy a second one simply b/c I don't have enough time to wash the one she has.
- She dislikes her car seat (major bummer). Not sure why I have two girlies who strongly dislike their car seat. I'm starting to think it's God's sly way of teaching me patience. :)
- Nora is adjusting as well as a 2 year old can adjust to being de-throned by a little 7 lb baby. Although she is still our little princess, the adjustment to sharing our attention has been hard on Nora. Thankfully each day it gets easier and easier.
- Elsie spends a large portion of her days in the Baby Bjorn or Moby Wrap. It's just the only way this mama can be hands free with a highly energetic toddler.
- Elsie's tummy is a sad situation. i.e. she's pretty gassy and constipated. Needless to say I'm learning how to eat dairy-free and we're praying it helps with her digestive system. Thanks Jordan for all of the great tips.

- Interested in how we chose the name Elsie? We'll save that for another post ;)
Love you Elsie Grace! We're so thankful for you.

A lot of babies who have issues with reflux, gas, and colic are helped greatly by a visit to the chiropractor. The way they help them is amazing, it's barely the pressure of a finger tip but it helps them get aligned correctly after being in the womb. It truly is amazing and is worth a shot.
Love her!!!! I think The Flies Blend should increase Elsie posts...or at least pictures :)
I second both of these posts. We are taking Mollie to a Chiro for some reflux issues. And I love seeing lots of Nora and Elsi posts and pics :)
My brother had a baby boy on Saturday. After reading this, I immediately ordered them a Miracle Blanket!!! Thanks!
some friends of ours did the chiropractorand it worked like magive! Always another option :)
Yay for Baby E!!!! I'm dying to squeeze and smooch her!
I think we should definitely pack her and Nora and ship them out here for a while! ;)
