Elaine milestones at 4 months

Just a few updates of what Elaine has been up to recently. She turned just four months on July 30th and is a growing girl.

Elaine's favorite things:

• Looking at: the ceiling fan which seems to hypnotize her
  
• Making a host of noises, including a "raspberry" sound with her lips
  
• Batting at toys and moving them around with her hands
  

Elaine is learning to:

• Almost roll (She can do 3/4 of a roll from back to stomach on a consistent basis. With a little help from her parents or sister, she can go all the way in both directions.
  
• Sit upright with support for more than a brief moment
• Clasp her hands together (She looks very contemplative.) And use both her hands in concert when manipulating toys.
• Eat semi-solids! Elaine has had a handful of helpings of rice cereal mush and one sampling of pureed pears. The majority of the food ends up outside her mouth (on face, hands, neck, bib, clothes, floor, parents), she is consuming some and learning how to take bites from the spoon. She loved the pears!
