Snowflakes and Cheerios

This morning we woke up to snow falling! Of course it completely melted in less than an hour, but while it was snowing, it was absolutely beautiful! I am starting to realize how much more excited I get about things now that we have Elle. You get to experience everything all over again and it is a great feeling! I have always loved snow, but it was extra special to get to show it to Elle this morning. She was completely mesmerized by it. I am sure she thought I was nuts because I kept saying 'Oh my goodness, look at all the snow!' She humored me though.





We had a bit of a rough night last night though. Our electricity went out about midnight and of course woke Elle up because her sound machine went off. She and I were up for the next two hours until the electricity came back on.

Elle has been sleeping so well lately. She takes three 1 - 2.5 hour naps every day and goes to bed around 8:30 PM. She usually wakes up around 5 AM, but sometimes will sleep straight through until 7 AM or so. She is such a big girl! It is true what they say, you really do forget all of the sleepless nights you go through with a newborn.

Elle has also been eating so much better! She will now eat anything I give her. I haven't tried anything new, but she loves peas, zucchini, squash, apples with cinnamon, avocados and rice cereal. I gave her some cheerios for the first time today and I think she likes them. Of course she will have to work on getting them in her mouth a bit better, but so far so good.







Another exciting tidbit is I think Elle is about to get her two bottom teeth! I noticed today while she was eating that they are really, really close to the surface! I am so excited! I kept trying to look at them and I am sure Elle got tired of my fingers being in her mouth, but she better get used to it because I am going to want to see those pearly whites! So far I have no noticed any adverse reactions to the new teeth, but they aren't in yet. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
