No teeth yet!!

So Ella's doctor explained that what looked like the tip of a tooth wasn't really a tooth but a harmless epithelial cyst.She said they see it with some regularity and it goes away on it's own-it did.She did say that Ella is displaying pre-teething behaviour.You can see teeth getting ready to pop up just beneath her gums.

On Tuesday, Ella weighed 14.8 pounds and measured 25 inches.She is just above average for both height and weight even though people usually comment that she looks bigger than she is.

This week I noticed that she is passing her little rattle from hand to hand and she likes turning the pages on her fabric taggies book...she can now also turn the thick plastic pages of her look book.Baby really enjoys having her hair blow dried and a good massage after her bath.Stephen says it's obvious she is our only child.

We are trying to get Ella used to an arlier bedtime...will let you know how that goes.

4 months and here come my teeth!!

I always thought that I would know when Ella started teething because she would would become incredibly fussy,maybe a little bit of a fever ad of-course all that drool....well, she definately drrola a lot but since she wasn't unusally fussy except for the usual before naps or bedtime.

Long story short-yesterday a cute little toooth started to poke through Ella's gums.Not the fron teeth you normally see as a babies first teeth..oh no, she went straight to the pre-molars!!

I can only imagine that we will see a few more teeth coming through soon. We have our 4 month check-up on Tuesday and will find out how much weight she has gained and how much taller she is.My guess is quite a lot-my arms actually hurt toting my chubster around. She is currently being entertained by her daddy-lots of movement and singing and she is a happy camper.

Ella has also recently developed a tolerance for her cradle swing;which means just a little over 10 minutes at a time. I really feel like she understands everything I say-well almost everything.

She is quite fascinated by watching us eating and I think we will be starting solids soon.Oh-she discovered her toes one night and she looked adorably stunned as she made the connections. So cute...we included some pics for you.
