4 Months

Elliot is 4 months old!

This past month has been so fun! Ellie is growing and learning so quickly -- she amazes me. Here are some fun facts about our girl at four months:

• She is drooling like crazy. She spits and bubbles and fills her mouth with saliva then pushes it out with her tongue. The fronts of her shirts are constantly wet.

• Her interest in toys has increased dramatically in the past couple of weeks. She grabs, pushes, pulls, and plays with her toys now. Her favorites are a musical snail that rocks and lights up. She also loves her "crunchy" doll which as a skirt that crinkles when you move it.

• Ellie is getting stronger all the time. Not only can she sit up in her Bumbo, but she loves to stand! She holds all her own weight and only uses my hands for balance. Look at her go!

• Elliot is obsessed with her tongue. 

• She is such a happy baby. She flirts and smiles at almost anyone and can be a real distraction during church. 

• Her hands have become very fascinating (and tasty) lately.

• She likes being lifted up, over people's heads and then down again. She thinks it's hilarious.

• Ellie is my little koala bear. I love that she's now old enough to carry around on my hip. She just clings onto my shirt and is happy to go along with whatever I am doing.

• This girl loves mirrors. She'll smile or giggle 99% of the time when she sees her reflection.

And now for her stats:

• Weight: 13.7 pounds (30th percentile)
• Height: 25 inches (75th percentile)
• Head: 16.75 inches (75th percentile)

Here's a visual timeline of how quickly she's growing up.
