Baby Ellen at 4 Months

Here are some random things about our little 4 month old angel and then some 4 month old pictures...
- sleeps swaddled in her crib from about 8pm-7/8am
- wakes up once to nurse (started this around 3 months old - we think it may be because that is when she started going to bed at 8pm instead of 10pm, thus going to bed with less milk in her belly).
- takes a morning and afternoon nap, swaddled in her crib. Usually 10:00-11:30am and 1:00-3:00pm.
- loves to chew on her hands
- loves mommy and daddy and shows no preference, but seems to be in awe of Lucas. She giggles the most when he is around.
- smiles all the time, most often with her mouth wide open and her eyes shining
- seems to nurse for food purposes only and not comfort - she eats quickly and then sticks her hand back in her mouth
- really never cries, except however, when she's in that darn carseat! I have to time it right with fatique and hunger or else she looses it.
- when she wakes up she makes little girly sounds and gazes at her mobile. When she sees us her entire face lights up and she starts wiggling and kicking.
- she has a stork bite on the back of her neck at the bottom of her hairline.
- she can roll from back to tummy but not tummy to back yet.
- she likes to stand up with us holding her hands.
- she doesn't love her baby bathtub, so I've started taking her in the shower with me every few days and she seems to enjoy it.

Her little face is really getting chubby!! She is starting to catch up with Mary! I think she looks like Wesley too. I can't wait to meet her!
