Ella is now 4 months old!
Here are this month's stats:
Nicknames: E, Ella Bella, Ella Boo, Ella Bee, Silly Goose, Sister
Likes: Lia!, bottles, Sleep Sheep, bath time, activity mat, exersaucer, rice cereal, being walked around the house on Mama's hip (while doing chores, cooking, playing with Lia, etc. - she just wants to be in the mix!)
Dislikes: being strapped in the car seat, being left alone, being laid down for her naps, paci - period, no ma'am, don't you dare put that in my mouth!
Milestones: Ella has been sleeping really well lately, usually from about 7:30 pm to 5:30 am. Her eyes are also starting to change color. It looks like we are headed for light brown or hazel. She started rice cereal. She also rolled from back all the way to tummy! And she took her first bath in the tub with big sister : )
Feeding: We are doing rice cereal twice a day now! She has 1-2 tbsp mixed with an oz. of formula or breast milk for breakfast and supper, then she also has 4 bottles a day, usually about 6 oz. each, 2 or 3 of formula and 1 or 2 of breast milk.
Sleeping: First bottle is usually at 5:30 am, then it's back to sleep until 8:00. Ella stays awake for about two hours at a time before she needs another nap. She takes a morning, afternoon and evening nap. Then she heads to bed about 7:30 pm.
Behavior: Ella has gotten so talkative lately and loves to "ooohhh and ahhhh" at her toys and at each member of the family : ) She also loves to laugh at Lia and is usually chuckling at her a few times a day.
Clothes: 6 months
Favorite Moments: Every time I see that huge gummy grin, I just melt! And of course one of my favorites this month was the day we had Ella baptized.
Looking Forward To: Getting better at eating solids : )
PS - Still no teeth! She has a couple that look like they could break through any minute, but they haven't changed a bit since last month. At least they don't seem to be bothering her anymore...The 4 month comparison:
