Week 20 Update
It's going to be quick since E just woke up from her morning nap and is cooing in her pack n' play next to me...
She is 20 weeks old, or 4 month, 2.5 weeks old.
She is a champion roller. She rolls over from her back to her tummy. In the morning she'll roll from her tummy to back waking up but she can't purposely do it yet.
We are still eating rice cereal every day, at dinner time, and I don't know if she doesn't like it or if she does not like the texture but she makes the cutest faces when she eats and has mastered keeping her mouth closed! :)
She could drool before but she has amped up the drool this past week, I am not sure if that means she is teething or not, but the chewing does not seem to end. Since this is my first time I have no idea what to expect with teething... That said, the amped up drool means she is changing outfits almost 3-4 times a day.
To my great dismay her sleeping patterns have gotten worse, not better, again maybe because of teething. She was sleeping 8-9 hours the first stretch of the night and then a couple more hours after a 5am bottle. Now she is up all over the place. Last night she was still sleeping but would break out in to a full blown cry every couple of hours. Last night was a fog, I know I had to pull her into bed with me a couple of times and I had to feed her once through the night and then she was still up at 6am. She has had two little 30-45 minutes naps since 6am. Just enough for me to start to fall asleep and then she's back up, I am exhausted!!!!!
I think the only new development this week is full blown laughter. She started laughing for mommy this week. Adam says she has laughed for him for a couple of weeks but I guess I am not as funny... looking... he, he, he... (Just kidding Adam, if you ever see this) ;P
We have a couple of new cute pictures from this week.
Oh, and Adam and I also got her a jumper this week. I ordered if off Amazon because they had it on sale for a really good price, with free shipping, and tax free is always great here in CA where the sales tax is almost 10%. I think she'll love it. It is the Fisher Price Rain forest Jumperoo. She has tried two now, one at her boyfriend Andrew's house and then another at another friends house. So, we decided it would be a good time to get one seeing how much she likes standing. :) I'll post pictures of her in jumper as soon as I can.

An Ohio State Baby (she is also an MSU baby) and my friend Lauren is determined she'll be a Penn State baby once that drama dies down... Now is apparently not the time to be a Penn State baby. :)
Not quite fitting yet but she will be the coolest baby in town!

4 months old and some big milestones...
So, E hit 4 months old last Sunday and we have had some big milestones between now and my last post, which was a month ago... [:$]
Anyway, to sum up real quick so that you can get to the pictures:
Anyway, to sum up real quick so that you can get to the pictures:
- E is rolling from her back to her front almost all the time. She started on Saturday, the 5th of November and now rolls almost every time I put her down. She surprised Adam when he was changing her diaper. He turned around to throw her diaper in the pale and came back and she had rolled to her tummy on the changing mat. [:O ]
- E and I had our first long term separation and our longest flight yet. [:'( ] We flew from LA to Detroit, which was 4.5 hours. It was fun and interesting at the same time. I can definitely see why so many people prefer to buy a seat for their little ones rather than carrying them on their laps the whole time, especially for longer trips. E was perfect, she slept almost the whole way, but it was just awkward. I stayed for a day or two in Detroit and then after our Halloween celebrations I left for Helsinki Finland. It was great but I missed my E and was glad to be home after being gone just a couple of days. Then on the 6th we flew back to LA and are glad to be home.
- E ate "real" food for the first time last night. Her Pediatrician said it was OK to start on rice cereal if she was acting like she wanted to eat food after she turned 4 months. Well, she hasn't been able to stop watching us eat for about the last month so I figured it was time. She was so cute. I would put the food in her mouth, she would wait and watch Adam (I fed her during our dinner time... Family dinner time), and she would chew when he chewed... OH SO CUTE... GUSH, GUSH!!
