Four months old

Dear Elizabeth,

Today you are four months old!  This month has been a wonderful month with you as we have seen you grow so much.  You are learning new things everyday and it is a blessing to watch you.  We weighed you tonight and we think you weigh a little over 13 pounds (we will find out on Thursday) and I think you are 24 inches long (but again, we will find out on Thursday). 

This past month you have moved onto a size 2 diaper, you wear 3-6 month dresses and 6-9 month onsies.  You are really long and the 3-6 month onsies just seem to small on you. 

Last week your Dad cut out your 10pm bottle, now you get 6 ounces, 4 times a day- 6am, 11am, 3pm, and between 6-7pm.  You sleep from around 7:30-8pm until about 6am. 

You still love your tummy time mat and we move the toys around and add new ones and you love to wiggle around on your back to find everything.  You roll up on your side a lot, but you have not rolled over yet.  Your dad and I think you won't do it because you hate being on your stomach.  You love your bumbo seat and have recently started stretching in it and raising yourself up in the seat.  It makes us very nervous.

You got a new toy this week, a swing for the doorway.  You sit in it and spin yourself around. 

A little over a week ago you were Baptized and we had a lot of family and friends come see you.  You are such a special little girl and we are so happy, lucky, and blessed to have so many people that care about you. 

This past month we have taken you on a lot of walks, gone to the park to play tennis, but ended up hiking.  We had Shelley and Adam over for dinner and Pari and Quin over for cards.  You go and play with Laura, Sam, and Alice everyday and have such a good time!  We celebrated Father's Day this past weekend and your Dad loved spending the day with you.  Your Fairy Godmother, Stacy, and I took you to the pool for the first time and you loved kicking in the water.

You are growing up so fast my sweet girl and I thank God for every minute I get to spend with you.  We are already so proud of you and are so excited to be your parents.

We love you Elizabeth Grace.

Love,

Mom & Dad
