Ellie has started smiling a lot at people she recognises this past week and she’s got a great smile.

Pictures of the gorgeous princess
Week 7 photo round-up
Here’s a selection of photos from the last week or two
Ellie lounging
I swear that this was not posed, but Ellie really likes to put her hands by her ears (like she’s on the phone), or behind her head. She’ll be heading to the beach before we know it.
Daddy’s (snoozy) little girl
We’ve had to start putting bibs on Ellie, not to catch food, but to catch drool. She can produce bucketfuls in mere minutes!
Smiling in her swaddle
Ellie is looking especially cute in this photo. It now adorns my phone background.
Chilling with Daddy after her bath
I love it when Ellie has a bath, or a really good feeding, and is just so content, that she snuggles right up to me. Best.
Ellie’s 1-month picture
Ellie is a month old now. Her Tante Michaela (Marti’s cousin) got us these stickers that we can put on Ellie and take pictures of, to show her growth month by month.
Ready for a fight
Today, Ellie had her one month appointment at the paediatrician, but as she was sitting in the car seat waiting for the doctor to come in, she looked like she was ready to start a fight!
She’s very healthy and well. Her height (22.5in), head circumference (15in) and weight (10lbs) put her in about the 90th percentile for growth, so she’s big and growing nicely.

Ellie is starting to smile more
Maybe she doesn’t know what a smile is and that’s just what her facial muscles decided to do at that tune, or maybe she really is starting to smile. Either way, we think she’s particularly cute.
A presidential welcome
Ellie is so special that it warranted a welcome from the President and Michelle.
