10 things about Elle at 4 months!

I am a litte late on this post! BJ and I had crazy busy weekend in Charlotte, NC, celebrating the marriage of Robin and Ryan (congrats guys!) We met up with Chris and Tricia Olson and their 9 month old son, Gardner, there. It was so great seeing everyone! AND NO, we didn't take Elle, and YES I was miserable toward the end of our trip! This was the longest we had been away from her (2 nights/3 days). We dropped her off in Crossville to stay with my parents, and needless to say, we were very glad to get back on Sunday!

Here goes 10 things....

1.) Everything goes in her mouth - fist, dress (as seen above), and anything else she can grab a hold of!

2.) Mr. Leap Frog is her new best friend. He sings her the alphabet song and she thinks this is awesome.

3.) She LOVES books...her favorites are Five Speckled Frogs and The Little Engine that Could (we are thrilled about this - she definitely did not get this from her mommy or daddy!)

4.) She is Miss Observant! She watches everything BJ and I eat, follows anything that is around her, and has recently taken an interest to our dog Baxter.

5.) We have dropped the Swaddler for sleeping... and keeping our fingers crossed it stays this way :)

6.) We think she is going through the never ending growth spurt. This girl loves to eat!

7.) She can roll from her stomach to her back.

8.) She is trying to talk more than ever. Her common coos are "GRRRR", "lalalala" and "maaaa" She fake coughs every now and then - it cracks us up!

9.) Her favorite activity is playing in her Exersaucer, and the bouncer seat is back for round two -she can now reach the toy bar on it.

10.) She has become a member of the "Bug" class (4-10 month olds) at the Little Gym. We look forward to Thursday mornings - she has a blast!

Right before we headed out Thursday, we took Elle to her 4 month well check. She is progressing wonderfully! She is now in the 62nd percentile for her weight at 14 lbs and 5 oz. Unfortunately, we did find out that Elle has reflux. Dr. Myers started her on the Prevacid Solutabs, so we hope this works! We really didn't see this coming! She hasn't been spitting up much until recently, BUT it does explain the hour of "fussy time" she has during the evenings. I just thought she was tired, but apparently her little tummy has been hurting this whole time. Poor baby and shame on mommy!
