"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we wanted them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come." Joseph F. Smith

Sharing Elayna's Bed: Sisters!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elayna Update: Elayna is wearing a size 3 diaper. 3's are little big but I want the coverage. She is drinking 6 oz of formula and eats rice cereal mid morning. She sleeps around 12 hours at night. She is a very happy and talkative baby. She is grabbing her feet more and loves to sit up with help. She is so cute!

First Movie for Elayna and Lilia
Pirates of the Caribbean--On Stranger Tides
I thought the movie was great and a lot of fun. Some good movie lines for quoting later. The sword fighting was fun but intense in some parts. There was a bedroom conversation during one sword fight. Some fun twists and plot changes. We of course stayed till the end of the credits to see the last clip. It was worth the wait!

Elayna 4 Month Doctor Visit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weight: 14.4 lbs
Length: 24.25 inches
Head Circum: 16 inches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She has a rash on her neck and under her arms. I get it looking great but then comes back over night. We got some ointment that should do the trick.
Almost ready to switch to size 3 diapers. She is wearing 3-6 month clothes and they fit!
You are drinking 4 oz of formula every 3-4 hours during the day. Some times you want more an hour or so later and you drink 2 more oz of formula. We will start with rice cereal in the morning and see if that helps fill you up.
Elayna you love to smile, laugh and talk. We love playing with you.
Lilia cried when you got your shots. I held you and you stopped crying. Lilia did too! :)
You take a morning nap and afternoon nap and a short dinner nap. You sleep from 8 pm till 7-8 am.
We are so happy you are in our family and we love you so much.
