Elena has had another busy month. This is the Month of the Young Child, so they have had activities at school. Today was pajama day, so she was super cute in her polka dot PJs.
She was baptized earlier this month. We were so busy planning to party, and subsequently partying that we forgot to take any pictures. Luckily, there are lots of shutterbugs in the family, so there are lots of pics out there. Some of my faves can be found at Cousin Jill's website.
Elena also had her 4 month well-baby visit. The doctor was very happy with what she saw. Elena is now 14 lbs 5.5 oz (60th percentile), 25.5 inches long (89th percentile), and 41 inch head (50th percentile). She is also (dum-da-da-DA) teething!! This explains the drooling, fussiness, and the steel trap biting.
The other big news for Elena was that she started eating cereal. She has taken very well to it. She seems to think it is quite yummy, thought her stamina isn't that great yet. A proud daddy got lots of video of her first time with cereal. He also got one of a little indiscretion that she will NOT be happy about when she is 13.
Finally, she has spent a lot of time kicking her legs. It seems to be one of her favorite things to do. Luckily, it's happy kicking from a happy, happy little girl.

The Quick and Dirty
I have been so busy with work and an active baby lately that I have neglected my poor little blog. So, for those if you who use this site as the main means of keeping track of us, here is the quick and dirty run down of what's been going on:
3/13ish-Sarah's email review of the "Lullabies from the Axis of Evil" CD is read on Jumping Monkeys Episode 36. They also mention Elena's birth and she is instant internet SuperStar.
3/21-Elena's school pictures come in. We realize that we can take much better pictures and will not be purchasing any of these!! (Ask Rae and Sue, she looked a bit odd.)
3/22-Per AAA "You need a new roof."
3/23-Move completed.
3/24-Per roofer "You will get a new roof."
3/30-Elena learns to roll, back to front. She also learns she never wants to stay on her back again.
3/31-Lots of rain, basement floods, Ray triumphs over drain snake and empties the basement of water.
4/2-Elena learns to roll front to back. Not so easy as the other direction! Needs a little more practice to do it consistently.
4/3-Per roofer "Your roof will go on this weekend."
You can fill in the gaps with lots of time at work/school for everyone. Free time filled with visit from family (Elena is very popular) and time spent playing. I'll try to keep the blog up a bit better, but you know you've heard this before. Just don't abandon me completely and I'll do my best to keep updated.
Until next time...
