Four Months Old Today!



My baby girl turned four months old today!  Hooray!  We've made it through a third of her first year of life.  Ella is such an adorable baby.  She absolutely loves any attention and will readily smile and laugh at anyone that gives her the time of day.  It is so cute to hear her giggle over and over again.  The other big news of the past month is that she rolled over for the first time a few days after her third month mark and hasn't stopped since.  She is a rolling machine, but hasn't figured out how to roll back onto her back and often times gets stuck and then very mad as a result!  So, I am constantly flipping her over these days.  Due to her rolling over issues, we actually moved Ella into her crib last week because she kept on getting stuck in the corners of the bassinet.  Normally, I wait until my children have consistently slept through the night for at least a month before moving them into the crib in their own bedroom....but Ella had only slept through the next three times when we did this.  But apparently all she needed was some more wiggle room as she began consistently sleeping through the night the second we moved her!  Who knew?!  It's just so funny to me because Ella is my littlest baby, but the most physically active and the most independent of my children as neither Lia or Logan were in their own room at this age.  The other big news of the past month is that Ella got stung on both feet a total of SIX times by a yellow jacket while at a picnic at Lake Samm!  It was awful.  She went from a totally happy, smiling baby to a screaming and crying baby (who would not stop) for FOUR hours.  Ugh.  It was a horrible evening and my mom and I ended up in Urgent Care that night at 9:30 after she had been screaming for three hours.  Luckily, it stopped an hour later and she was totally fine and normal by the next morning.  Thank heavens as it was quite the scare.  Besides the bee drama, Ella is just doing great and is the love of our lives!
