...has gained nearly 2 ounces beyond her original birth weight, and I'm guessing she'll be over the 3 lb. mark by the end of today!...has breastfed three entire meals-- that tube is on its way out, people!
...is more alert and social everyday. I love it when she looks right at me.
...went from crying at the nurse who was putting clothes on her to total silence when I came around the corner and started talking to her. Melt.
...really grows more beautiful everyday.
...makes me cry every time I think about how much I want for her.
...makes me cry every time I pray for her and every time I think about how thankful I am that God put her in our life.
...has developed a reputation with her nurses for being tiny but quite mighty. One nurse says Ellis is the big lady in the tiny package.
...has already humbled me into better understanding how much we all must be loved by our God.
...has perfect little fingers and toes.
...makes the cutest noises, and yawns and sneezes.
