Elena - 6 Weeks

Last Saturday Elena had her 6 week birthday! Its mind-boggling to think that a little over six weeks ago we were welcoming our little one. She has definitely changed our lives for the better! She is beginning to smile much more and is developing her own little personality. Mornings and late evenings are best for catching a smile.

Elena is sleeping well during the day and at night - we couldn't ask for a better baby! She doesn't always like to take her naps during the day but eventually gives in. At night she has been getting up two to three times to eat. Last night she was up at 2am and then again at 5am and I got to sleep in until 8:30am - isn't she nice?

Another interesting little development is that Elena has lost quite a bit of her hair in the front. She came to this world with a nice head of hair and now has about half of it. She completely lost all the hair in the front. It's slowly growing back, though.

Michael and I are completely in love with this little creature that has stolen our hearts. Can you see why?

She is soooooo cute and expressive and I would love to kiss on her cheeks!!! Oh, no worries about the hair loss...Tess lost hers first on the top, then on the sides and then in the back...now is all growing evenly!

What a blessing you are to us all, Elena!!!

Hugs and kisses:)

Wow, Ann, she makes expressions just like you do! I saw a picture in Maria's FB where you sisters are making faces and I think yours was exactly like Elena's bottom photo! good job catching her expressions with the camera!
