Ellyssa Rose

Elly is the younger of my two girls (by a minute). She was born at 7:53am January 19, 2010 weighing 4lbs 9oz and 18.5 in long. She had a feeding tube for less than a day, was under Biliy lights for only 1 day, and spent 14 days in the NICU. Her only complications were learning to suck so she could eat and learning to regulate her own body temperature. She's my cuddle bug! Always wants to be held and cuddled, even today. At her 6 month check up she was up to 13lbs 15oz and 25 in long. Other than a cold, allergies (welcome to Oklahoma), a bout of Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, and acid reflux problems, she is a VERY healthy and happy baby girl!

As of today, at 6.5 months old, she picks up small objects and is talking/babbling like a pro. She says "mama" "dada" and "baba" and really seems to understand what she's talking about! She just like her mom - she doesn't like to be left alone. She's quite content to just sit in your lap and watch what you're doing/watching. I love her so much!!!!!!
