Nicolas, aka, Nico !!! Keri and Charlie are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy. He was due a few days before Ellis, so I'm certain they'll be the best of friends. Look at all that hair! Welcome to the world, Nico. You lucked out, your parents are super cool.
Guess who has surpassed the 5 lb. mark?...Any guesses? Ellis Jane, that's who!
In the week since she'd come home, Ellis gained a whopping 11 oz., as of her first doctor's appointment yesterday, which is a fantastic showing. In the NICU she only ever gained an ounce or just a hair over an ounce a day at best. Her little thighs are fattening up and I'm pretty sure she gets cuter everyday.
There is a cacophony of animal-like noises coming out of my sweet baby right now because of the painful gas she gets from the vitamins we have to give her, so I'll leave you to view the rest of the pictures without my clever captioning while I try my best to comfort/distract her. Enjoy!

I love, love, love these pics! Vickie, Ken and Janae! I never realized how much Janae looks like a "Stockman" I could see myself and my neice Becca in her....I also hadn't realized how much of a red tone Ellis's hair has. I LOVE the pictures!! Thanks!!

I love that Gabe and Ellis are both of the same hat fashion statement, too cute. Thanks for the pics and the phone call. When is her next doctor appt? Maybe you can weigh her on your own scale by just holding her. (you don't own a scale, do you :) Love, Mom xoxoxoxo
sigh....she is perfect. really. she is.
Brooke, she is just a doll. You must be so happy to be at home and settling in. I'm grateful that you are finally there.
Check with your doctor, but we used Mylicon for Victoria's gas when she was little and it worked great. It provided much needed comfort!! Good luck and keep the pictures and stories coming!!!
Mylicon is wonderful. Our daughters oldest son had a lot of stomach problems and thrived on Mylicon. Grandma Becky (me) even had to keep a bottle here. I hope you can use something to help her. Gas pains are really painful!
She is so beautiful. Every family can see traits that are familiar to their family. That said I can see a lot of Stockman in Ellis. Her eyes and mouth...not her nose. But, no matter who she looks like, she is a beautiful little girl. Wish I could hold her I love babies!!
