Baby Fun

Ellie-May is now 17 weeks old. On one hand it’s really hard to believe she’s passed the 4 month mark already. On the other, it feels like she’s always been part of our lives. We can’t imagine her not being here any more. Since I last wrote she’s had some difficult times with colic and acid reflux. She’s also developed eczema which looks a bit nasty. On the whole though, she’s very laidback and contented. Ellie loves faces and, as long as she’s not tired or hungry, she tolerates being cuddled by Uncle Tom Cobbley and all reasonably well. I think this will be especially important next weekend when we do the first Major Fifield Family Event.

Half term looks like it will have a lot of ‘firsts’ for Ellie-May. Tom’s cousin is getting married (hence the first MFFE). We’re visiting Granny and Granddad Fifield for her first stay away from home. We’re taking Ellie to stay in a caravan on her first holiday to the seaside for a few days. Then Granddad Boulton is visiting from Nottingham. All in all a busy time and a lot to be excited about indeed.

Baby Progress: Now Ellie is happily smiling and chuckling away to us. She recognises Tom and I immediately, but isn’t so certain about other people just yet. She likes music and coos along with it in the car. She’s starting to roll over and can lift her head off the floor in an attempt to sit up. We started Baby Sign Language lessons and so now Tom and I look very silly as we waggle away while we talk to her.
