One Month Birthday for Elsa

Elsa turned 1 month on Monday. She celebrated with a day full of milk and a quick, uneventful trip to the Doctor's. Elsa weighs 10 lbs 3 ounces and now measures 22 1/4 inches (adding to our gut feeling that she was longer than 19.5 at birth). She has been a good baby (knocking on wood right now), great eater and is providing us some rewarding smiles in the past few days. James continues to be a great big brother. His own strength tends to get the better of him, as he constantly wants to hug and kiss his little sister. I am sure he is quite tired of the word "gentle" by now. Mom is recovering thanks to help from Grandma Joan & Opa, Grandma Nana and Grandpa...looking forward to the 6 weeks check-up and hopefully full permission to carry James around.
