Ella is 4 months old!

Time flies WAAAY too fast when you have a baby! Was she really just a newborn a few months ago? Of course I love seeing her healthy and thriving, but now I completely understand why my grandpa always used to say he wanted to put a brick on my head to stop me from growing.

We had her four month checkup today, and she's looking great except that she seems to be slowing down on her weight gain. The doc thinks it's probably because of her severe reflux (not acid, thank goodness), so we'll continue to monitor that closely.

She's also discovered that her fingers taste yummy! She usually has at least two of them in her mouth at any given time. I think she liked chewing on them because they made her gums feel better, and then realized they're great for sucking on, too. Hey, better that than the boob, if you ask me!

She is so cute and so different from Avery. I love the one of her with the blanket on her head. : )
