2 months old!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE PUMPKIN!
Elli is now two months old. She is now almost 15" long and about 2 lbs. 12 oz. She has a couple of moments of being very alert each day now. They only last about 10 or 15 minutes, but we enjoy the time we have to visit with her. She is such a miracle, and we have all of you to thank for that. We wouldn't be where we are without all of your prayers and fasting. We love you all!!

Elli looks so cute in her little Halloween onesie. We do have a Halloween costume for her, you'll all have come back again to see her all dressed up. I am also going to have some birthday pictures taken. Hopefully I can update you in a couple of days.

Elli does have a few challenges to overcome right now. We have been assured by the doctor that all she needs is time to grow and mature. If you could remember her in your prayers, she needs her eyes to continue to develop normally, as of right now she may end up with with little or no peripheral vision. She also has the fragile bones, and needs her ability to absorb calcium to increase. And she simply needs to grow and gain weight to help her come off the ventilator. We are grateful for your love and willingness to remember us. With everyone's faith combined, miracles are happening. Thank you!!!!!!

She is so tiny and sweet. I can't wait to see the Hallowen costume. We are thrilled with her progress.

Happy Birthday, Elli! I love the chub on her cheeks, and the onesie is darling! Can't wait to see her (and you) again!

We pray for little Elli often. I am amazed you can find clothing that fits her, but it looks really good on her. I love that you are already getting her involved--I can't wait to see her costume.
