Four Months and Flying

Today is a big day for Elizabeth.  Not only is she now four months old, but we celebrated Christmas this morning(so we done have to fly with all our gifts), she went onto and airplane for the first time, went to San Francisco, and she got to finally meet Ba Pa, Grandma, cousins Andrew and Dallin, Aunt Michelle, and Uncle Ian.  What an exciting month and day it has been!  Here are a few things that she has been learning...

~Doing a little bit a sitting by herself (not for very long yet)
~Grabs onto her toes, and legs (all the time!)
~Standing by all by herself (for a second before we catch her)
~Drinking water out of a big cup (with help)
~Getting really close to rolling (but she keeps us in suspense)
~Getting a better grip on things
~and she is getting a lot more control of her movements

As for Elizabeth's size, she will not be going to the doctor for about a month, but...
~Clothing: 3-6 months
~Diaper: Size 2

Today Elizabeth went onto an airplane for the first time.  She was FANTASTIC!  I was so worried, I would hear the stories of babies crying the entire time, and we had a five hour flight ahead of us.  She fell asleep sucking on Brian's thumb before we took off, but woke up a bit after the plane took off.  She then had fun playing with Brian and I, and met the nice lady that was sitting next to me.  Brian was great, he held and entertained Elizabeth for almost the entire flight (except when I fed her).  Half way through she started to get tired and Brian got a brilliant idea...we put our trays down and then her car seat cuddly thing, and let her lay down on them.  ELIZABETH LOVED IT!!!  She loved looking around and playing for a bit, then she took a nap.  She slept for over two hours, and only woke up when we had to move her to put the trays back up when we were landing.  Elizabeth is a great traveler!
