17 weeks old

After a bath

Elizabeth is 4 months old.  She had her Dr appointment and got three shots.  This time there were many, many more tears than the 2 month appointment.  Our poor little thing.  She is now 12 lbs 8 ozs and 22 ¼ inches long.  She also had pink eye which required drops in her eyes 4 times a day.  She didn’t like that either.  She learned the sound of the bottle opening so she closed her eyes tight.  M & I had trouble getting the drops in.  How is she so strong?  Thankfully the pink eye has cleared up.

Chatting with Great Aunt Kathy

The second weekend of October, Elizabeth met her Great Aunt Kathy & Great Uncle Don, Wayne’s Sister and Brother-in-law.  They made the trip out from Washington and had to meet her.  She charmed them both and even giggled for Kathy.  Elizabeth had only done that once before so M & I were excited.  We can’t figure out how to get her to do it again though!  She’ll give us big grins, but no giggles.  I guess we’re just not as funny as Kathy!

Week 14

 

Wink, wink

Saturday morning Elizabeth rolled over!  She was on her play mat (Thanks again Mike & Terry) trying and trying and finally she was on her tummy.  She looked around like “How did I get here?”  Then she tried to roll back to her and couldn’t.  She got frustrated and that was the end of mat time.

We spent a quiet weekend at home.  I was sick with a cold the whole time and got the stomach flu on Saturday night.  Marc stepped up and enjoyed his Elizabeth time all day on Sunday while I slept.  So far it doesn’t seem that Elizabeth has caught it.  Keep your fingers crossed!



See Grandpa T!  I finally getted the old butterfly!!



Not much new except the rolling over.  Elizabeth did talk a lot this weekend!  It was so much fun (until I got sick).  Her eye/hand coordination is getting better and better.  She is growing up by leaps and bounds.  I packed away her new born clothes and we’re not swaddling her anymore because she is rolling around her crib now.
