Ellie Kate's first week with us has flown by. She is a really sweet baby and spends most of the time sleeping. Other than her first night at home, she wakes up to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Grammy and Grandad came to help and arrived a few hours after we came home from the hospital. They were a huge help! We need them to come back and visit sometime and just relax. They cooked and did laundry and hung screens and so much more! 
Big Brother Andy loves his baby sister.
Big Brother Zach keeps telling us how cute she is.
Ellie Kate had her first doctor's appointment on Tuesday, when she was 3 days old. She weighed 8lbs. 6.5 oz. and was 22 inches. Did she really grow 2.5 inches in three days?
The boys spent a morning at Torrey Pines in La Jolla.Grandad and Daddy kept the boys busy while Grammy stayed at home to help me with Ellie Kate and all that had to be done to keep our family going.
On Thursday, at five days old Ellie Kate was up to 8lbs. 12oz.
At the end of the week we went to the beach to take some family pictures.

Ellie Kate was exhausted after taking so many pictures on the beach. 
Last night we all went to see The Wizard of Oz at Tidelands Park. Today Grammy and Grandad left to go visit Josh's family. We were all sad to say goodbye to them. We wish we lived closer so we could spend more time together! 
This morning I pumped some milk and let the boys feed Ellie Kate her first bottle. She didn't do too well drinking it, but she has plenty of time to learn!
