4 months old

Today Elle is 4 months old....in honor of the big day, here are some of my favorite things about her!
1. The mornings- Elle plays in her crib...kicking, smiling, cooing, and laughing. It is the highlight of my day! I creep in her room and hope she does not see me so I can secretly watch her. She always catches me and gives a shy smile. THE BEST!
2. Rocking her to sleep for naps and bedtime. One of her new things is looking at me when I am rocking her with her paci in her mouth and patting my face. It melts my heart and I often cry (I'm a huge cry baby)
3. Watching her light up when her daddy walks in the room. She is so in love with him. Nothing is better than that.
4. Her massive burps! Pretty amazing such a huge sound can come out of such a little thing!
5. Bath time. No matter what her mood bath time puts a smile on her face. She loves it and gets so excited in the water....splashing and putting bubbles into her mouth. 
6. When I try to burp her and she locks her legs out so that I can't get any leverage. She does this mainly when she wants to eat more and does not want to take a break :)
7. The little black hair on her lower back.
8. Grunting...her new favorite thing. I think she loves to hear herself make this noise because she does it all of the time lately.
9. Toes in the mouth! How is it that babies are so flexible? Amazing!
10. When she lays on my chest...those moments are hard to come by now that she is a mover and a shaker!
11. When I finally get her to sleep for a nap and put her in her crib and she wakes up and smiles at me from behind her pacifier. I can't help but laugh! I know that nap time is not going to happen when I see that! :)
