Okay, so I know this isn't timely. . . but I've been having way too much fun playing with this little girl to post so here it goes. Elsie was born on November 22nd at 3:37 pm. She was 9 days overdue. She weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.
This was her getting her first bath. According to Mike, she didn't like it. :)
Elsie and mom. Both recovering wonderfully from this traumatic experience.
The whole family. We are teaching her early to stick out her tongue (you can't see it, but she is).
She was quite the star and she gave every one of these people new names (grandpa, grandma, aunt, or uncle). They all love her to death!
The poor thing had jaundice. We had to have her hooked to a machine with a light for 4 days after we brought her home. She has been cleared now and everything is going great!
We had a quiet Thanksgiving with just the three of us. We didn't even have to cook because Grandma and Grandpa Herrick brought us over leftovers. :)She is such a good baby and adorable in every way! She has changed our lives forever and we love her so much! It has been a fun ride the past week or so and we can't wait for more to come. Mike is such a good daddy and loves to play with his little girl. He has taken on the role of being her personal trainer and is determined that she will be a tough kid. :) It is so wonderful to know that she will be in our family forever!
