Is here!! She's such a sweetheart and we are ridiculously in love with her. I want to get as much info about her down before it leaves my memory, so here is goes:
She is currently 7 weeks old and doing awesome. At the Dr 2 weeks ago, she weighed 10lbs 3oz, so I'm guessing she's close to 11lbs by now. We'll go for her 2 month check up - and shots, no bueno - next week.
She is exclusively breastfed and nurses like a champ. I'm so thankful that we don't have any issues with bf'ing, reflux, colic, dairy, etc! With TR, I gave up cow's milk for a year, but Elaine seems to be doing just fine.
She eats every 3 hours during the day, and has gone up to 7 hours at night! Not consistent, but I'll take it when I get it. That 7 hour stretch usually starts around 7/8pm and goes until 1 or 2, so i'm trying to think about how I can get her to shift it to more like 10-4, but she'll be sleeping through the night eventually, so I'm not worried.
We have since moved to a new house between TR and Elaine, and while Thad slept in his own crib in his room from day one, Elaine has been upstairs with us since she was born. We have an office/nursery off of our bedroom, so it's a pretty perfect set up. I can just walk 5 steps over to her in the middle of the night. I have a feeling she won't be moving downstairs anytime soon. :-)
She can still wear some newborn sized clothes, but quickly out-growing them in to 0-3 months. Girl clothes....so fun! And Thad is getting potty trained (more on that in a different post) so he's wearing little boy underwear, which rivals the cuteness of girl clothes. So we are on cute overload around here lately. :-)
She has fallen into an Eat, Play, Sleep routine pretty naturally. She eats anywhere from 6-7am, up for about an hour/hour and a half, and then down for hour/hour and a half, and then continues that cycle throughout the day. Morning naps are much more predictable than afternoon. In fact, just like pretty much every other kid, the afternoons can be fussy and no fun as she processes all the events of the day. It's tough being a newborn!
Girlfriend HATES her car seat - just like her brother did. But luckily, that's really the only time she will really "whoop it up" as Grandma Dorothy used to say.
She's starting to really look at me and smile lately...which is THE BEST. All in all, we are so in love with our Bunnygirl and can't wait to see what life has in store for her!

Agua
This is a catch up post from a few weeks ago in Conroe. It's been so fun having sweet Becca in town, with her hilarious Aussie bf Adsy. We will be so sad to see her go back, but hopefully a move for both of them back to the States is in the works. :-)
TR was in full toddler effect that weekend....happy one minute, break down the next. We've officially entered the "hitting, pinching, biting, throw ourselves on the grown" portion of toddlerhood. Good times.
Unfortunately, Thad Rossmann was not so much into family time and this was the face we saw a lot that weekend. :-(

What's that I hear?
...Nothing! Ahhhh...silence. Last week was NOISY! Lots going on at work, LOTS going on at home. Who knew planning & hosting a first birthday party would be so exhausting. It was fun, but glad it's over and done with. Cake pops, mustaches, "Mo" Mosas, crying, holding, picture taking, playing, more crying, summer heat, and more crying....here's the evidence:
4 Thads, 3 Mo's
3 Week old Owen Labatt made an appearance!
Not so sure about his cake...
Okay, maybe this is cool...
Nope, I hate it!
Godmother Jennifer & Eric made the loooooong day trip from Houston:
As you can see throughout the picutres, TR was none too happy with pretty much every aspect of the party...the crowd, the cake, the mo's. And didn't want anyone to hold him but Mommy, which I happily obliged. Happy Birthday sweet bird!

11 Months!
Yeah, 10 months just kind of slipped past us. Sorry about that faithful readers. Our little Bird is just growing, smiling, cruising, teething, EATING, crawling, loving, and LIVING! Honestly, I still look at him and think "wow, I've kept you alive all this time. And you're not only alive, but growing right before our eyes." Obviously, the alternative isn't an option, but for all you parents out there, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. But then again, I think my dad & sister are the only ones who actually ever glance @ this blog, so Dad - maybe you can understand what I'm talking about. :-)
Not sure on weight or height for him, but probably around 22lbs, 29 inches. Currently, he's:
Eating - just about anything - Fish & Bread are his favorites - he & Jesus would be best pals over the dinner table. Not so much into too many finger foods, but we're working on it
Sleeping 7pm to 6-7am. Sleeping anywhere from 2-4 hrs a day. When he's home w/ me naptime is @ 8:30 & 1:30...pretty nice. I'm enjoying it while I can!
Loves reading books, playing with anything that makes noise, or that he can bang together
Waves bye bye!!
Only 2 bottom teeth, but I think the top two will be coming in soon! Poor guy has been in some teething pain recently.
LOVES his Dada, and especially loves his grandmother Ada - Thad's mom. He just lights up when he sees or hears her, and is pretty much a stage 5 clinger the rest of the time. ;-)
All around, he's just a happy little guy. Always looking for the next laugh, always wants to be surprised, loves to be outside, loves any animal or airplane.
CAN. NOT. BELIEVE he will be a year in less than a month. Time is flying too quickly!!
