Ellis 4 month check in

Ellis is growing up. Today he turns four months old. Just a year ago we had no idea that we were pregnant and going to have a precious little boy.

Last week little man had two shots and a liquid shot. He cried for a very long time and so did I! 

He is 24 1/4 inches long and 13 lbs 11 oz. He is in the 20th percentile for height and weight but his head is in the 50th percentile. Mr. big head. He is fully in size 3 months clothes and moving into 3-6 months size soon.

This past weekend was his Baptism at the St. Louis cathedral in New Orleans. It was a beautiful single ceremony with a lot of family. He was so blessed to have this moment to become a new little Christian. He was doted on and loved on the whole time. He doesn't know it yet but he is so blessed with his families. They are amazing.

So far he is rolling from his tummy to his back )started on his 11 week). He is rolling into his sides. I'm sure pretty soon he will be rolling everywhere. He loves to stand with help from whomever is holding him. He does bobble a lot but loves it. Ellis is drooling up a storm. Everything gets soaking wet on his front from the drool. The dr said she won't be surprised if he has teeth at his six month apt.

He is sitting up with support but is trying to figure it out own his own. I cannot wait for him to sit up...it sure will make it easier to go out with him. 

He still needs to be swaddled and will sleep horrible without it. And he needs his paci when he is fussy and ready to sleep. But really the only time he cries is when he is hungry or tired. And he loves to be rocked to sleep and I love rocking him so it's a win win!

He is taking 5oz of a bottle at a time and about 6-7 bottles a day. He is sitting up in his bumbo and standing for a bit in his jumper. He doesn't like to be ignored. 

Ellis smiles often though he doesn't giggle yet. His smile is just amazing he is so beautiful. He has a little side smirk that he does and looks just like his Daddy.

His eyes are so big and round and he is easy going and a overall happy baby. 

Emery loves Ellis and likes to sing and dance and talk to him. She will tell him "Ellis Sissy is here" when he is whining. She rubs his little nearly bald head and kisses him often. 

Emery is working on her manners and attitude because she wants to go to Midevil Times (which she calls Evil Times). And in order to earn that event she has to work on herself. She is doing semi ok with her chores and now has a chore chart. Simple things like dressing herself, brushing teeth and turning off her sound machine. She has yet to wake up at night to go to the bathroom so still in pull-ups. Let's hope that comes soon.

And she's eating more foods like lasagna and she even tried Grillades at her Mimi's house this weekend, she said it was too spicy.

Summer is about to start and we are making fm our plans!
