Four Months old!!!



Time seems to fly so fast!!! Miss Ellie was four months old on Sunday. Here are some of the little vixen's traits.
  • She has a beautiful gummy smile that she loves to show friends, family and strangers.
  • She has enough hair for us to use a barrette.
  • Ellie still refuses to roll over, but loves to turn on her side and now tolerates laying on her stomach for a few minutes.
  • She tries really hard to sit up on her own and can balance for a minute when you put her in a sitting position.
  • Ellie loves bath time and kicks in the water, which means Mommy usually ends up pretty wet.
  • She has learned to screech and yell and gets excited when she raises her voice. She also has an extensive cooing repertoire and she loves to imitate sounds we make.
  • Ellie loves to look around and watch what the people or dogs are doing around her. If you say her name then she usually swings her head around to make eye contact with you.
  • She learned to bat at her rattles and chimes that we hang on her car seat and her baby gym, which entertains her for a few minutes.
  • Ellie loves to hold onto things especially her burp cloth and will happily hold it when we carry her around.
  • She now sleeps for 10 - 12 hours a night consistently and usually goes to sleep without crying. We love our schedule!!

In short, we think she's just the sweetest baby there is. Here are some recent pictures.

So cute! I was just thinking last night that I should ask you for some more pictures of her - she's growing so quickly. You two are definitely lucky that she's sleeping so much!
