I take a lot of pictures w/ my cell phone so I can send them to daddy and grandma during the day, they love getting them, but who wouldn't?!

Ella - 5 weeks

So I'm horrible @ this whole blog thing...too many other things to try to get done while she's sleeping! Ella is now 5 weeks old, wow time flies. This weekend she spent the night @ grandma and grandpa Batten's house so mom and dad could go out for our cousin's bachelor/bachelorette parties. It was really strange not having her in the house, I figured I'd wake-up in the middle of the night freaked out that she hadn't gotten up, but I guess I drank enough that that didn't happen! Last week she started cooing and jabbering, she smiles too - not directly at us yet, but it won't be long! She's such a good baby sleeping 6 hours through the night, mom still gets up twice w/ her, but I love that time w/ her. Usually her 2nd time getting up is when Ben is getting ready for work so it's nice that he gets to see her before he leaves. Then we usually go snuggle in bed and watch the news and drift in and out of sleep! She likes to sleep - nurse - sleep - nurse, we have to break that little habbit! Other than that all is good @ the Batten household!
