the willetts: Ella Grace: {4 months old}

Seriously....where has time gone?! My 3 pound 15 ounce preemie baby is now 5 MONTHS OLD! (that post coming next)

Time can freeze now.

In the last month, Ella has learned how to smile and laugh!
The first time she truly smiled was one evening after bath. She was just relaxing in the rock-n-play while Ava finished her bath. I started talking and singing to her, then THIS happened!...

Her first laughs were because Daddy was tickling her... Talk about a heart melting moment...SO CUTE!

Ella still sleeps from 9PM - 6 or 7 AM. Mommy and Daddy are happy campers! Ava slept the same way until about 5 months old and decided she was going to wake up every morning at 5 and "need" a bottle. Hopefully Ella won't follow suite. During the day she takes a long nap in the late morning and again mid afternoon. Most of the time I can get both girls down AT THE SAME TIME! Amazing...I know! Then she will take a little cat nap after dinner.
Her pattern is eat, stay awake for an hour or so (depending on the time of day), then sleep until her next feeding time.

She is IN LOVE with her swing. And when she is sleeping, it MUST by moving. I think we need to own stock in D batteries.

She also likes her bouncer while she watches her sissy dance and/or watching nick jr. :)

She went in the pool for the first time on Father's day.

Ella went to her first Skeeters Game! (more on that later)

She still loves her baby gym and plays with her toys daily. She gets better and better at swinging her arms and kicking her feet to hit the toys. She can entertain herself for at least 10 minutes straight. :)
She has fully realized that she can control her hands and has a new trick! She can knock the ball off her bumbo seat! It's fun to watch her because you can tell she is thinking and trying really hard to get that ball!
