4 Months

Dear Ellie, you are 4 months already! 4 months doesn't seem like a long time, but it feels like you've always been here. I know how it goes though....4 months will soon be 6 months....9 months...12 months...it flies by :(

*You are sleeping all night. There are a few random nights that you wake up in the middle of the night for a feeding, but most nights I put you to bed around 9 and you sleep until 8ish. Usually even later than your big sisters!

*You have found your fingers and can't keep them out of your mouth! You're becoming quite a drooly baby lately.

*You giggle and it's precious. Brynlee likes to try and make you laugh.

*You're finally tolerating car rides! The first 2-3 months were torture taking you anywhere in the car, you screamed the entire time even if I fed you right before we left. Thank you for calming down and making car rides a little more peaceful.

*You're grabbing at your toys and things now. Last night you got so excited taking a bath and you tried grabbing the water as I poured it out. This probably isn't a big deal to most people, but as your mommy these are the little moments that make me smile. I love watching you learn & grow.

*You've almost outgrown all of your 3 month clothes :(

*You had your first PT apt this week and you loved it, you did great!

*You've upgraded to a size 3 diaper! Mainly b/c I ran out of size 2's and only had a package of 3's. But they fit, so what's the point of going back now?

*You weighed exactly 15lbs at your checkup today.

*You're losing your hair. It's pretty much a mohawk with a wicked bald spot in the back.

You are a joy to have around. I'm trying hard to soak up all these baby days because they're flying by!
