Already Four Months Old...!

Dear Elijah,

You are four months and one day old today...! I thought I'd just write you a quick note to tell you how much everyone loves you. Your smile just lights up evey room. You are a very good baby...!

Here is a picture of you with a pacifier, but for the record, so far you don't really like the pacifier. Maybe when you get older you'll like it. At four months you weigh 12 pounds and four ounces. You feel alot heavier when I carry you around for a length of time.

Oh, by the way... We moved out to the country a few weeks ago, and daddy's been very sick with pneumonia, but I'm doing better now.

Between moving and me being sick, your mom and I have been very busy this past month and that's why I haven't posted in your journal for awhile. But I do want to make a routine of posting daily so you have a great chronicle of your life for when you get older and want to know what your growing up years were like..

You're good at turning over now and are also gripping well with your hands. You don't like grape pedialite but you do like the unflavored variety.

As soon as you start walking we'll give you your first tennis lesson!

That's it for now...

Love always, Daddy
