Four

My sweet Elsie is four months old today. She is such a blessing in our lives and I just love being her mama. She is so pleasant and a perfect little angel in my humble opinion.

 Just a few things about her this month...

She is almost always sucking on either her bottom lip or her two fingers on her right hand and therefore is getting more slobber. She won't take a binky but she's not fussy so I don't mind

  

(Don't mind the boxes in the background, 5 days and we close on the house and move the same day! It's been a little crazy around here, but we are so excited and can't wait!)

She has already had 2 blow outs today, and had 2 yesterday. I think it's time to move up to a size 3 diaper. Chub

She has the best time just watching Violet play and I can tell they are going to have so much fun together when Elsie is a little older. 

She continues to pack on the pounds and the inches! She is so fun to hold because she is so chill and squishy, her legs get stuck in the bumbo and probably won't fit in it much longer.  I love these rolls

  Still falls asleep on her own. It was rough there for a bit; I had to stop swaddling her because she about suffocated (pulled arms above head but her hands were stuck in blanket and it was over her face) luckily she had woken up from her nap and I went in to get her, pulled her hands down and she took a big gasp of air! It made me so sad and scared me half to death. No more swaddling for her!

 She isn't on a very good schedule, I kind of hate it kind of love it. It's nice so we can run errands and do what we need to in the morning and I know she'll just sleep on the go. She typically takes three a day, sometimes four. But always takes a pretty good nap during Violet's nap.

She is sleeping really well at night. She goes down at 7:00 and whether I feed her or not before I go to bed she'll sleep until 4:00. But every once in a while she'll sleep until 7(when I feed her at 10:00) Those nights are heavenly.

 Hasn't rolled recently, first time she was around 2 months old and I'm pretty sure it was a fluke. Violet was rolling from her belly to back quite frequently at this age, I think it's the extra few pounds that El has on her sister.

She is so smiley and giggly.  If you didn't get a chance to see this on FB you'll have to watch it now! It makes me so happy and Violet LOVES watching it too. Violet's been wanting to hold her a lot more lately. She'll sit there for a good 15 minutes lying on our bed holding her just petting her and smiling and saying "oh baby sisser. hi baby sisser. I wuv her mama." etc.

I am so looking forward to this month, moving into our first home, General Conference tomorrow! and Elsie's first Halloween.
