How to calm Ellie down!

You always hear stories of things parents would do to calm their babies down; going for a drive, putting the car seat on the washing machine.... Ellie likes to be unique, so she found her own way that no one else mentioned to calm her down. She picked something she knew would mean something to her mom because her mom has to take a shower every day, first thing in the morning. We place her bouncy seat next to the shower and let the water run and she instantly calms down and falls asleep! She is a smart baby though and as soon as the water is turned off she wakes up and starts crying again!

She also knows when the car stops and will start crying at almost every red light and then stops as soon as we start driving again!

Here are some pictures of her in her chair next to the shower.

7 weeks!

Elle is now 7 weeks old, time is going by so quickly!! She started smiling this week and is making the cutest noises to go along with it! We are having so much fun playing with her, although we can't seem to capture her smile on camera yet! This week was also spent visiting a lot of family, Ellie got to see all of her Grandparents,Great-Grandparents, and almost all of her aunts and uncles. Here are a few pictures from this week, I wish I had a picture of her with each family member, next time!

Elle didn't get to watch the Laker game because we went to the pool but she was so happy when she heard the score!

Elle wore her first swimsuit today! She did great at the pool lounging in the shade! We can't wait to actually take her in the water once she gets a little bigger!
