September

Hey everyone! Not much new is going on here in good ol' New Mexico, but a friend told me she keeps checking the blog for updates so I guess I should post something!! Jay, Elise and I are quickly settling into a pattern and things are going well. She now only gets up once a night, which is a big relief to us, especially me! Pretty soon she should be sleeping through the night if we are lucky.

Last week was Elise's 6 week checkup. She weighed a whopping 10.14lbs and was 23 inches long. The doctor said she was growing and eating just fine! It's funny, our neighbors had a little boy 5 hours after Elise was born and he is a lot smaller than her. Even the checkout lady at the grocery store said yesterday that she thought Elise was at least three months old! I guess Jay and I just make big babies!!

Last Wednesday was my birthday and the three of us went to El Paso to go to the mall and look for something for me to wear to my 10 year reunion (it's on the 27th). Jay bought me a plane ticket to fly back for it for my birthday. He is going to keep Elise for the weekend and just give me a chance to hang out and catch up with friends.

This weekend is the White Sands Balloon Festival. We were already planning on going to the balloon festival in Albuquerque on the 4th of Oct, but we might head over to White Sands this weekend and check this one out too. The hot air balloons are so beautiful over the desert sky!

Well, that's about all I know here. The weather is changing a bit, and Fall is coming...a nice change from the hot hot sun!!

Here are a few pics of Elise's finished room for those of you who asked!

Love,
Lauren, Jay and Elise
