Ella is 4 months old

At four months Ella is in the 95th percentile for height and 95th percentile for weight. We gave her rice cereal a few nights before her 4 month check-up, but her pediatrician said she is doing GREAT with what she's getting and not to worry about giving her anything else right now. That is a relief for me as that is just one less thing I have to prepare right now! Her Dr. was also impressed that Ella is so strong and able to do developmentally appropriate tasks since she is such a rolly polly chunk monk. She is rolling all over the place! Ella's four month check-up was special because her Aunt Melissa was visiting us for the week from Wisconsin and got to accompany us. Ella is LOVING her exersaucer and enjoying putting everything in her mouth now. I cannot leave her on her tummy in her boppy anymore because she scoots and pushes right over the top of it. I swear she's working on crawling. She is soooooo sweet and such a good baby, but continues to want her mommy pretty much CONSTANTLY. It is hilarious to watch her because one would think she is dying and in horrible pain and then I pick her up or take her and she is so happy and the crying immediately stops. It's not like she's gradually okay or that the wailing fades to whimpering. It just stops and everything is great! She is also laughing out loud and talk, talk, talking. It's a precious sweet sound. Ella has suddenly noticed Hannah and is enthralled with her, watching her every move.
