Eliza's 4 Months Old!

This "little" munchkin is 4 months old! I use the word little lightly as she is quite the chunkster!

Eliza has started becoming more and more alert. She loves interacting and being around us.  Her favorite thing is when we just look at and talk with her.

One of my favorite things she does right now is something I call the "full body smile." When she's got your attention and she's super happy about it, she'll grin from ear to ear and wiggle with her whole body. It's adorable!
 
Her big sister is still in love with her. She's a big help.
 
She is still a great sleeper and has developed a pretty predictable routine.  She'll take a short nap in the morning - maybe an hour long, and then a long one (3+ hours) in the afternoon.  Bedtime is usually between 8-9.
 
At her 4 month appointment, Eliza weighed 16 lbs. 12 oz (96%) and was 25 inches long. The doctor said she is a perfect example of a healthy baby. You can definitely tell she's not lacking for food! :)
 
A couple of teeth (the vampire ones) and pushing on her gums, but not poking through yet.
 
She's also getting lots stronger - holding her head up is a breeze and she's been working on strengthening her legs too.
