Bumbo Chair & Doctor


A week or so ago, I heard about an interesting item for a baby around Ella's age called a Bumbo. It's a soft plastic chair that they are able to sit in without the possibility of falling over. So far, it's been one of the best things we've bought. She's sitting in her Bumbo chair in this picture.

Ella went to her 4-month Well Child appt on Friday. All is well. Ella is up to 14 lbs., 9 oz., and 25" long. She got her shots as well and cried for them, but once we picked her up, all was well again. She does good with her reaction to her shots, she's just extra sleepy for a few days. The doctor also informed us that our little Ella has Acid Reflux, so she's starting to get cereal with every bottle and will still get regular cereal at night. And tonight, she had her first experience with other foods -- green beans were the food of choice by her daddy! She did fine, but I'll let Dad change that first diaper since she ate the beans, so he can know what to look forward to.

Daycare continues to go well for Ella and us. And my new job is going really well. I'm working on some marketing materials currently and am really getting into it. Other than that, all is status quo in our household.

Kiss me, I'm Irish!



Ella got a new hat this weekend and she thought that she'd better sport it for the Blog. She is back to sleeping through the night, but has become a growler at night and is drooling like a river. Hopefully the teeth will come in soon!

Yay! I did it mommy!


Tonight Ella rolled over from her back to her tummy. Needless to say, Charles & I are a little excited with her progress. 4 months old today. Happy Birthday Ella. No birthday cake yet.

About time


For another family picture. Ella is 15 weeks old today and is almost rolling over from back to tummy. She just has to figure out how to move her arm up near her head so she can finish. Hopefully this week!

La-Z-Boy


Ella wanted everyone to see that she has her own La-Z-Boy now. His name is daddy. I'm surprised that she layed like this as she usually likes to be sitting upright. Oh well, she must have been really relaxed.

Happy Girl


Our little Ella Bella is quite the happy girl. Here she is laying on her bed giggling, she is so much fun and you can't help but smile when she smiles or laughs!

Ella wants to know


Like the rest of us, Ella wants to know what the weather is going to do. Here she is sitting in her Exersaucer watching John McLaughlin on KCCI-Channel 8 give his weather forecast. Such a bright girl!

Why?


Here is a picture of Ella chewing on her hand/thumb. This is her 2nd week in daycare and since Sunday night, she has woke up in the middle of the night every night. We're still trying to figure out why her sleeping pattern has suddenly changed. We think maybe she's growing and so she needs to eat more often as she isn't eating as much during the day as she did last week. Or maybe she's starting to teethe. Eeek!
