Growing up

Our little girls are growing up.

Lizzie got to 'hold' Ellie today. Ellie is about 7/8 the size of Lizzie. No joke.

Lizzie has really picked up on being helpful. She will bring Ellie's things to Ellie if they're just lying around. Tonight, when I was putting Ellie down for 'ni-ni,' I had forgotten to bring Ellie's blanket with me. But not to worry, Lizzie (without being asked) came running in, blanket in tow. She is a very thoughtful little girl who loves her sister very much.

Ellie is now eyeing solid food. Tonight we caught her staring at a chip and smacking her lips.

It is Finished...

Steph has been working on and off for the last couple of years on a quilt for our bed. Well, it is finally done. Great job Babe!

Fun weekend

It's just me and Lizzie this weekend. Steph's taking Ellie away on a girl weekend with Steph's core group of female friends, so it's just me and my firstborn. I'm looking forward to it.

Piggies

Today, Lizzie played Piggies with Ellie's toes.

4 mo. check up

Ellie had her 4 month check up today. She's one healthy 4 month old. As for the stats:

25-1/4" long -- 75 percentile

16 lbs 2 oz -- 95 percentile

That's right ladies and gentlemen, our 4 month old Ellie is the size of an average 6 month old.

Rollin'

Last night, Ellie rolled over! It took a lot of effort; and she was close for a few days, but after much effort, she finally was able to tuck the shoulder and make the roll.

She's done it a few different times today; she'll be a pro within the week I wager.

Go Ohio State!

Here's hoping they win the NCAA championship tonight!

Craziness

Ellie is teething.
Lizzie can now open closed doors.

Noise level, up.
Privacy, down.

Big Girl

Ellie is just over 3 months old. She wears 9 month old clothes. Me thinks she takes after her father.

UPDATE: Ellie now wears the same size diaper as Lizzie.
