- rolling in both directions (back to tummy, tummy to back)
- sucking her left thumb (hallelujah!! You can bet I was excited about that one!) while snuggling with her puppy blanket
- noticing and smiling at herself in the mirror
- squealing/singing
- grabbing at toys and doing a better job getting them in her mouth

| my newest little thumb-sucker! |
At the doctor today Elizabeth was 26 1/4 in. long (97%) and 14 lb. 1 oz. (70%). Even though she is obviously growing and doing well (up 1.5 lb. and 1 in. in a month), I am still thrown by what a peanut she seems to be. Compared to her chunk-a-munk siblings, she's a lightweight! :) It is great, though, to know she is still right on track length and weight-wise!
Elizabeth has become a happy, content baby girl who is loved by all the people who meet her. She gives big smiles and definitely loves the attention lavished on her by her siblings, reserving some of her biggest smiles for them. She still sleeps 10 hours (or sometimes more!) at night (8pm-6am) and doesn't do long naps during the day. We'll see how my being home and not working during the summer will change that schedule. She also still eats about every 3 hours during the day (6 times/day).
I feel a bit more settled as a mom of four now. Jack's last day is today, so we shall see how the summer goes when we're ALL home. Elizabeth is doing so much better that I feel like I am less overwhelmed. It's hard to remember, even though I've done it three other times, just how much a baby rocks your world. Thankfully, those first few months don't last forever, and soon the fun, happy stages come! Yay!
