Ella visits the doctor again

Today, Ella visited Dr. Weinstein for her second wellness exam. She continues to be a healthy little girl and although has not reached her birth weight yet, she did gain 6 oz since her last visit so now weighs 7 lbs 12 oz...right on track, the doctor says. She still remains our tiny little baby! Of course, she was not happy when her clothes and diaper had to come off for her weighing in and definitely did not like her belly button cleaned out (her umbilical cord already fell off last Wednesday!) but was easily consolable once it was all over. Good news: she is sleeping well at night...Bad news: she is NOT sleeping during the day. Hmmmm...this makes it tough on mom and dad, especially since mom has been trying to finish a major school paper! Hopefully she'll pick up a better sleeping pattern soon! We also visited our condo in Reston - just about done! Just a few super minor repairs and it should be 100% complete. We love our new kitchen...here are some pictures of it, along with Ella and her daddy at the doctors office:

Looking good
