4 months old!

It has been a busy week at the Jarbs household with Elle going to day care and trying to figure out a new schedule that would work for us. We missed celebrating Elle's 4 month birthday on Thursday. She was already tired by the time Daddy Jarbs and I got home from work so we needed to put her  to bed early. Today, we finally got to do her monthly photoshoot and she got to "blow" her monthly birthday cupcake :-). 

 4 months! Where did time go?

This is my favorite photo in today's shoot. She did not want to lean back and kept wanting to tripod sit!

 Fun facts at 4 months:

* Eats about 5.0 oz breastmilk per feeding. I can't keep up!
* Loves to put everything in her mouth
* Gets frustrated when she can't fit the oball rattle and winkel in her mouth!
* Just this week, has started using her left thumb (she has discovered her right thumb a long time ago but not her left)! It's been tucked in for the longest time.
* Goes to bed between 8:00 - 8:30 pm and wakes up around 6:30 - 7:00 pm the next day.
* Has now learned to sleep on her own at night. We used to rock her to sleep but now, we just put her down drowsy but awake and she puts herself to sleep. Still have to work on doing this for her naps!
* Loves her Goodnight Hawaii book. After her last feeding before she goes to bed, she would lay her head on my shoulder while we're sitting on the rocking chair. As soon as she hears me start reading her book, no matter how tired she is, she would look back and listen to me read the book. I would turn her and have her sit on my lap while I read. She loves turning each page as I read :-).
* Loves doing raspberries! She just recently learned how to do this and would sometimes do it nonstop!
* Her tickle spot is on her chest :-)
* Started to outgrow her 3 month pajama footers. We had to replace them with 6 month pajama footers. She's long! She definitely did not get mommy's height!
* Loves having moisturizer put on her face. She puts on a huge smile whenever we apply the moisturizer.
* In the last couple of weeks, she has rolled over twice, while swaddled!
