1 week old exactly

sleeping beauty, Monday, April 20

There are new pictures in the album. We took Ellie for a walk around the block last night. She seemed to enjoy it; she stayed awake most of the time. Stephen walked next to the stroller and held her little hand, so sweet. She has been more alert the last couple of days. She stays awake for about an hour at different times during the day. She is just so good. The only time she cries is when we are changing her diaper/cleaning her belly button or when she gets hungry. However, the hungry cry isn't really a cry, it's more like she is whining and I get right on it. I try to keep her from getting too upset.

We have had a very busy house since Ellie was born. My dad, step mom and brother came down for a couple of days, then Stephen's mom came down and has been here all week and she is leaving tomorrow. Sunday, Stephen's sister is coming to stay through Saturday, and then mom will be here on Sunday. Very, very busy...Well, I'm off to go hang out with our baby.
