Month Two

Finally, Ella has hit the ten pound mark, the same point at which her big brother Aidan began sleeping longer through the night then just the scant 2.5 hours at a time. Ella is climbing up the percentile charts to where she is now reportedly to be in the fifty percentile for nearly everything, weight, height, head size - a vast improvement over the initial tenth percentile positioning she came into the world at.

Much like her older brother Aidan at the same age, Ella is continually hungry and lets everyone within earshot know when she is hungry. Her hair, which had nearly all fallen out, is being slowly replaced by a new head of, what appears to be middle brownish, peach fuzz hair, matching her still fairly dark, big, bright eyes.

While her head will still uncontrollably flop over to one side on occasion, she's doing better at being able to hold her head up as she looks around while being held vertically. She's taken a keen interest in art as she continually stares at the oil painting of a French town street adorning the family room wall.

She has taken to boating fairly well, falling asleep during travel for each cruise she's been on - which is certainly nice, as we can only deal with one active, vocal child at a time while underway. We'll have to enjoy these times of cruising slumber as I'm sure, a few short years from now, she'll be antsy to get to what ever destination we're headed to so she can jump off the boat and head to the local pool to be the focus of every boy's attentions - she is pretty cute already and I'm sure it's only going to be getting worse - for her father that is.
