We've reached four months old. Big girl is 16 lbs 12 oz and 25 1/4 in long. Ellie has finally decided to share her sweet laughter, rolls back and forth, reaching and (somewhat) playing with her toys. We also decided to incorporate baby foods, due to Ellie watching our forks move from plate to mouth and the crazy amounts of drool she had.
First food introduced: a mashed banana. She spit it right back out, still had the tongue extrusion. So week by week, we would try. But instead of a banana, I bought organic applesauce. Now that, she loved!
As her fourth month of life was coming to an end, my career of being a stay at home mom was also ending. This is possibly the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Having a baby pales in comparison to having to leave baby with a stranger. Someone else doing all the things I'm perfectly capable of doing.
However, we found a wonderful lady, who I will refer to as The Nanny. There was an instant "click" when we met her for coffee. I would love to be home with Miss E...but if I can't, The Nanny is more than capable in my book. Also, E has accepted her into the house, which is the most important factor.
On to the next month...
