4 months old!!!

Ellie is already 4 months old and had her well visit yesterday! She is 14 pounds and 24 inches long! She's in the 50th percentile for everything - including her head that was a little behind last time! The doctor said she is holding her head up very well and is doing great. After her shots we went and visited Uncle Matt who works upstairs. Uncle Matt showed her off to all the nurses while Mommy was seeing her doctor! He is such a proud uncle! Ellie is also becoming a little chatterbox! She woke her Mommy up at 4:45 on Monday morning just babbling in her crib! It is the sweetest sound. Daddy thinks that she'll end up being just like her Mommy in the talking department.....

Over the weekend we went to Medina's Fall Folilage Tour with Aunt Lori, Uncle CJ and O! What a blast we had! Ellie spend most of the day in her Snugli (which is a baby carrier pictured above that Mommy straps on to herself) and loved it! We got to see the pioneer festival and we went to a very nice winery with the best honey wine. On Sunday we spent the day with Aunt Beth and Uncle Matt! First we went to church to listen to Grandma Carol sing and then off to the Hiram Pumpkin Festival. Even though Ellie is still too young to participate there is a lot of fun stuff for kids to do! We can't wait until next year! The fun part was taking the school bus from Orange High School to the festival!! After the festival we went to the Faimans' (Matt's Mom & Dad) house for lunch where we had burgers and dogs! Ellie played with Matt & Beth's other niece Sophia. Ellie loves watching older kids play. Aunt Lori says she laughs at all the toddlers at her house every week.

This weekend coming up is Boo at the Zoo with everyone!! And then on Sunday we are all going on a hayride to pick pumpkins. From what I hear Ellie has to only pick a pumpkin as big as she can carry - luckily for her Daddy will be there to pick a big one out and carry it for her!!!
