happpy 4 months ellie!

Ellie- happy 4 months to you! I look at this picture and it makes my heart so thankful for you and your life. This picture sums up you completely- so peaceful! You are my sweet sweet little baby girl- one that loves to cuddle tightly in our arms. Oh how you love to cuddle in the warmest stop within your daddy's arms. He loves the time he has with you at night after a long day of work. You are so peaceful in your spirit- you are starting to smile, laugh, and coo all the time. Your sweet dark blue eyes sparkle when you get excited. One of your favorite things to do it take a warm bubble bath. You still love your paci and we let you suck on it often to encourage your breathing throw the swallowing motion. We are working oh so hard on your bottles each feeding. You are eating every 3 hrs and taking about 5 oz's 6 to 7 times a day! We love the "chunk" you are getting on your short little legs! You are getting better at enjoying your tummy time, but most of all you love holding on to your little pink blanket and pulling it near your face when you sleep. Amazingly enough- your big brother did the exact same thing!
You bring so much joy to our family. I think your dad or I say at least 3 times a day- "gosh she is such a good baby!" You sleep from 10pm until 8am! Thank you for ellie!!!!!!!!! Your mommy gets some precious sleep at night which is needed for our busy days at home!

This picture was Easter Sunday! Look at your bonnet! Our little family of 4 is so thankful for see you grow another month and see the changes you are making already! I love having a little girl in the house- pink, polka dots, frills, bloomers, and did I say pink? We are so blessed by your life sweet girl!

Ellie is 11 lbs 13 oz now!
