A visit up to North Carolina

We can’t believe how fast Ellie is growing! She had her 4 month check up on Friday and she weighed in at 16lbs (97th percentile) and 24 ¼ inches (75th percentile)! She’s eating and sleeping well and an all around easy baby (as far as babies go). She had her first real belly laugh on Saturday which was way cute! We did a whirlwind trip up to NC and got to spend time with Nana, Popi, and Uncle Boo. Nana had made Ellie a “fairy garden” which will spark Ellie’s imagination and supply many memories for Nana and Elliana as she grows. Jess got to meet up with her good friend Sheri who is home from Africa to have her third boy (congrats Brett and Sheri!). We had a great visit from a family who had been to the same location we want to go to oversees and then we got to spend the afternoon with Memaw, Aunt Jo, and Aunt Brenda. Elliana loves her Memaw! In the evening, Hope, Jennie, Aunt Jan and Uncle Wayne, and Aunt Carol came (all to see Elliana of course) and we had a great time! Elliana was particularly fond of Jennie’s shirt and would have loved to eat it if she could.
