Thanksgiving

I had been waiting all year for Thanksgiving, because I knew my little girl would be here. Some pictures from our Holiday.

Ely Meeting her Abuelita Norman for the first time.

 

Our First Thanksgiving Together

My Grandma made her this dress and booties, I think it's the perfect little Thanksgiving outfit.

Everyone that has seen pictures of Ely says that she looks so much more tiny in person and that they can't believe how small she is when they first meet her.  I guess she is really tiny.  My mom says she can't believe how alert she is for being so young.  She is always so curious and loves to look around.  She always has this look of amazement on her face like "What planet am I on?"  

6 day old Ely

These were taken when Ely was six days old.... she is 3 weeks as I post these now and it makes me sad, she was so tiny when these were taken.  Our photographer came to our home, and it was so awesome, I couldn't imagine packing her up and going somewhere with us getting use to her sleep schedule and how I was doing postpartum.  It seems like the farther into our marriage we get, the more natural it is for us to take professional pictures, we were so awkward when we took our engagements (we laughed a lot) but as we took pictures here it felt so natural for us to be together.

Baby Ely 2 weeks old

Some more pictures of our sweet little girl.  The first picture was taken the day we brought her home from the hospital, the second was when she was a week old.  She is growing up so fast, it makes my heart hurt.  I want her to stay little forever.  She changes every day, I memorize her face and then the next day it is different from the one I was trying to remember the day before.   

She has chameleon eyes.  Because she is next to the grey they look blue.   

She loves music, she will calm down when she is upset if we play certain music for her or when her daddy sings to her.  

 She just started making this face, I love it.

 I'm so in love with her little hairline

And her little hands

Meeting her Grandma Ahern for the first time.

I want to feel as cozy as she looks in those little PJ's!!
