On the Move

At 4 months and 1 day Ellie has decided she is not content staying in one place.  We now have a roller on our hands.  She rolled from her tummy to her back very early, but it was more of a uncoordinated flop.  Now she can go both directions gracefully.  On several occasions we have found her off of her blanket.  I was really hoping to enjoy the immobile phase a little longer.  I was thinking this seemed early to be doing this so I checked Brady's baby calendar and he was right at 5 months when he rolled both ways.  He was also an early tummy to back flopper.  All I can think about is how many toys Brady has that have tiny pieces.  He is not the best at keeping them picked up so we now have new motivation to work on that.

Ellie - 4 Months

Ellie is 4 months!

Stats:

Weight:  13 lbs 9 ounces

Height: 24 inches

Other highlights from the past month:

• Sleeping -  About the same as last month.  She still wakes up a couple times a week in the middle of the night to eat.  She has started going to bed a little earlier and is usually down before 9pm.
• Favorite activities - Ellie is much more interested in objects.  She likes holding toys, things that make music, eating her fists and looking at people.
• Dislikes - Nothing in particular this month.
• Notable accomplishments - Grabbing things, reaching for her feet.
• Eating - She still enjoys milk.  We will probably hold off on starting any solids until close to 6 months.
• Other notable activities - Ellie took a trip to Chicago and attended her first wedding.

Here are a few new pics!

Niki & Drew's Wedding

My cousin Niki got married this past weekend in Wichita.  We were very happy to welcome Drew to the family.  We had a nice weekend of wedding festivities.  The only negative was Ellie wasn't feeling very well.  Grayson and Brady had a blast and were both exhausted by the end of the weekend.  The picture of Brady running on the dance floor pretty much sums up the weekend.  Congrats to Niki & Drew.  I hope they are having a great time in Tahiti.
