Elliot-4 Months

Four months, time continues to fly!

• You can navigate from front to back with ease and you are quite good at scooting wherever you want to go. I fear little one you will be crawling and then walking before I know it.
• You continue to be mostly quiet preferring to watch and observe and smile.
• You rarely laugh but you smile all of the time and right now your tongue is your favorite.
• You are STILL sleeping in the rock n play by our bed. I tried to transition you to your crib in your brother's room.  Your dad and I had one glorious night of you sleeping in the other room and we woke up to you and your brother entertaining each other. It was so sweet and wonderful. We tried again the next night which resulted in you waking up your brother twice and ended with me chucking your pacifier across the room in the dark. Maybe next month you will sleep in your crib.
• You love love your feet and often have them above you in the air or in your mouth.

You are loved little one, from your fuzzy head to your toes and everything in between. You are your own little person already and we love you so! Can you continue to grow but also stop at the same time? 

Elliot 3 months

Ellie-girl, somehow it has been three months and by the time I post this it will  be past four months!

-You can give us a big gummy smile, but you prefer to smile with your mouth closed. It is sweet and unique and I love it. I call it your little line smile.

-You still sleep in a rock n play by our bed. We really need to work on getting you into your crib.

-Bless you child you sleep through the night most nights, again BLESS YOU!

-When we carry you, you prefer to tuck your head under our chin and watch the "goings on"

-You come alive in the evenings, its the best time to hear you talk

-It is so hard to know exactly what your personality will be like, but right now you are strong, sensitive and fiercely determined. During christmas, we would often put you on your playmat and turn around and find you under the tree. 

-You seem much more serious than your goofy brother. You rarely laugh (although you smile all of the time)

Dear one, we love you so very much and cannot wait to see you grow into yourself and who you will be.  Know this, you are loved ever so much by your daddy and me and of course by your brother.

Today

Today was a good day, full of "hi momma's", hugs, and your head resting on my shoulder. I want to remember days like these because tomorrow might be full of "no's", "mine" and fit throwing. I want to remember today because the tomorrow where those boots you are wearing will fit will come all too soon.
