life according to the diaz's: 4 Months Old!

Elena turned 4 months old yesterday! I know I just keep on saying it, but time sure is flying by. It seems that everyday now, Juan and I just look at each other and realize how much she has grown over the last few months. She was just so little before and now she is getting her little baby fat rolls on her thighs that she just loves to have tickled!! This past month has been just wonderful because Juan and I both had a chance to have a week off work to spend with Elena. Neither one of us have anymore breaks until the end of the school year, so this month was particularly special having spring break. Being able to "catch up" with our baby during the day was so much fun. Made me long for those maternity days I had just a few short months ago...I am SO excited that the days are warmer because that just means that summer is on the way and we cannot wait! Today, Elena surprised us by rolling over from her back to her stomach! Neither Juan nor I saw it, but she was just playing with her toys on the floor and when I peeked in to check on her, she was on her belly grunting like she was doing something else...if you get my drift ;) I couldn't believe she rolled over like that! She has been going from her belly to back for some time now, but not the other way around. It seems that she is learning new tricks everyday. I also went out this morning to use up a gift card from Christmastime and bought Elena a Bumbo...she enjoyed sitting in it when I brought it home...I think it will be another great alternative for her instead of laying on the floor or in her swing/bouncer. Since she is strong enough to hold her head up now with little to no support at all, this was a great buy. Elena goes to the doctor for her 4 month check-up and shots next Monday. She did really great at her 2 month appointment, so I am hoping for the same this time. As always, we will keep you posted on her results. Lots of pictures to share from the last few weeks...she is our little sunshine smiling all the time and talking our ears off. Happy 4 months, Elena!
