This first photo was taken just a few weeks ago. Elli is holding her doll that is 10" long, which is exactly how long she was when she was born. The interesting thing is that when I compared her 4 day hand molds that the nurses made for me, they are actually smaller than the dolls hands. She has come a long way, Elli is now 24" long and weighs 11 lbs.
This is Elli getting ready for her ride home from the hospital on January 3rd.
Here she is sleeping underneath our Christmas tree the day we brought her home. She is the best gift of all!!!
Remember the pictures from Elli's one month birthday? I took this picture as a comparison. Now instead of being the same length as the candy bar, her waist is the width of it. (See October 2007 to compare)
We took this one about a week before Easter. I couldn't take her down for all the family festivities, so Wayne needed something to show her off to his family. They all agreed that she is adorable, and I would have to concur.
This was taken a couple of weeks after Easter. It was so wonderful for her and for us to have her off the oxygen, and after only 2 months. She is truly remarkable!
I absolutely love this picture. What you can't see is the reason she is smiling. After trying for several minutes to capture a smile, her brother walked in the room and this is her reaction to seeing him. She is always happier when Bradley is near. She does the same thing when Wayne gets home from work. She loves the men in her life!

Those little smiles are so precious! Her face is really filling out. She's just beautiful! What a miracle. Enjoy your little featherweight. My big Brielle, born the same day, is now 23 pounds! (Hauling her around on my hip is really taking its toll) Thanks for the update!
It's about time you posted! Jk- I know you're busy. I love the pictures. You can really see how much she's grown when you compare her with the doll and the candy bar. She looks great. She's only 2 in. shorter and 3 lbs. less than Clara. Considering she was supposed to be born a month after Clara, I'd say that's pretty darn good! She's super cute. That's sweet about the last picter- it almost made me cry. What a special little spirit she must be. She really is a miracle in every way.
She is so adorable. I can't believe how much she is growing.
She is so amazing and so beautiful! Her little personality is really starting to shine through. She has made so much progress, it is stunning. Thanks for putting more pictures up. I love them all.
She is beautiful. I often think about Bradley's faith and determination to get her here and I wonder what I need to do to have my children exhibit the same sort of faith.
