4 Weeks Old

Today, Ella is four weeks old. It is amazing how fast time flies by! She has changed so much in the past four weeks and it has been wonderful watching her every change. Here are a few of the ways Ella has grown in the past four weeks.

Ella loves to swing in her swing. She would probably swing all day if mommy and daddy would let her!

She has moved out of the co-bed and is now in her bassinet beside mommy and daddy's bed. She sleeps well in her bassinet. She especially likes it when mommy turns the vibrate on low to help her fall asleep. She still tries to wiggle out of her sleep positioner though! Ella is not on a concrete feeding schedule, but is becoming more consistent at night time. She usually eats between 9pm and 10pm. She wakes up around 1:30am -2:30am and then does not wake up again until 5:30am-6:00am. Mommy is so glad Ella likes to sleep! Ella usually wakes up to eat every 3 to 4 hours during the day (sometimes before that). When she eats, she typically eats 3 to 4 ounces. She loves her baba!

Her favorite song is Jesus Loves Me. Mommy loves singing this to Ella when she is grumpy and needs to sleep! Ella also likes saying her prayers with mommy at night. They thank Jesus for all the wonderful blessing He has given them!

Ella likes to hold her head up! When mommy and daddy burp her she holds her head up for a few minutes at a time. She is getting so strong!

Ella loves bath time! She has graduated from the kitchen counter to her own bath tub in mommy and daddy's bath! She loves the water being poured on her.

When Ella is awake she loves being talked to and held very close! She loves going outside on the porch and taking walks. She is a wonderful, wonderful baby girl and her mommy and daddy love her very much.
