The Wellman Family Web

Well our little girl is growing up!  She had a visit with the pediatrician yesterday and just as mommy guessed she weighed 11lbs 11ozs and was 23.75" long.  That puts her in the 50th percentile for length and 25th for weight.  She is still steadily gaining an ounce a day and at that rate will double her birth weight by four months!
 

Wow! 3 months has just flown by!

Well time is just flying by! Elise is getting so big and interacting so much. She loves to lay under her play gym and bat at the stuffed animals. She is even grabbing them sometimes as well. Also her other favorite baby gadget is her BUMBO! This helps her to sit up and get a full 360 view of everything going on around her. Tomorrow is Easter and we will be having a big Wellman family picnic, so stay tuned for some photos! Monday we will also get her weighed; two weeks ago she was 10lbs 2ozs!

Elise turned 2 months yesterday! Wow, time is flying by! With the passing time, we are more and more into a routine. Elise is sleeping 8-10 hours per night and letting mommy get some good rest! We are typically up by 6:30am and then eating/sleeping in 3 hour cycles. The 1-2hour naps throughout the day allow mommy some time to work and do house chores! Yeah!

The best thing is that Elise is all smiles now, especially mid-afternoon. Check out the photos in our gallery for some shots of the adorable little smile!

Elise turns 7 weeks tomorrow! Wow! All is going well as mommy and Elise are settling into a routine and are more and more comfortable with the day to day things. Breastfeeding is going very smooth and Elise has already gained almost 2 lbs from her birth weight. She was weighed yesterday at 8lbs 9oz.

The best part is Elise is now sleeping a consistent 6 hours a night which allows mommy to get some good rest! She also takes great naps throughout the day allowing time for laundry and cooking!

Yesterday was Elise’s one month check up with the pediatrician. All went well. She weighed in at 7lbs 14 ozs (20th%)and has grown already to 21.25″ long (50th %). She is petite just like mom, but doing well otherwise.

Her latest tricks are a tiny smile here and there and being able to hold her head up fairly well for 10 seconds or so. She is very alert when awake and sure to show off her big blue eyes to all visitors!

Next weekend Elise will be attending her first wedding, so keep an eye out for some family photos! Take care and have a great President’s weekend!

Wow..times flies! Elise is growing fast and changing so much.

Last Tuesday’s appointment was very good. Elise gained 13oz in 8 days so the lactation nurses were happy to see that she was quickly gaining back all the weight she lost plus some! Today she weighs probably 7lbs 9oz or so.

Today Grandma and Grandpa Kuhlman were in town and took us all out for brunch. Elise got all bundled up and of course came along. She did great for her first restaurant trip and slept through it all!

Everyone is still doing well and Elise has her next weigh-in on Tuesday morning. We’ll update you then with how big she has gotten!

Wow! Can’t believe that 2 weeks have passed since my water broke, yet have I really only been a mom for 2 weeks? Funny how time passes.

Our little Elise is doing just great! She is feeding very well and gaining good weight everyday! Daddy is back to work so Mommy and Elise are enjoying lots of one on one time and getting used to being at home, feeding every 3 hours and taking care of the house. It’s a full time job for sure, but Mommy is loving it!
