Elli's birthday pictures

Elliana is now 2 months old. HOORAY!!!


The light above her bed was too bright for her, so I shaded her eyes a little so she would open them. When the overhead light is off, Elli will look around at her world. She is starting to have her little moments of interaction with us. They only last a few minutes, but she is oh so cute when she looks up at you. Underneath Elli's bow is an IV. She is being treated for a mild pneumonia right now, and is doing well.


Isn't this so sweet! I love how her tiny fingers curl around my finger.

I think we tuckered her out, poor little thing. Actually, preemies let you know that they are done by yawning, or with hick-ups. They will even stick their hands stright up in the air like they are saying stop. We try to pay close attention to her behaviors so we can do the right thing for her.


These 2 pictures are great to compare to her pictures from her one month birthday. You can really see how much she has grown. She is about 4" longer and is getting close to tripling her weight. We are grateful that she hasn't been very sick, and we are working hard to get her off the ventilator. We continue to see miracles with her. We are so blessed!
