4 months!

Ella is 4 months old today. Here's what's been going on lately:

-Solid food are going really well. She just took to it, never put up a fight, and now she's eating her cereal every day like a champ.
-She's great at holding on to small toys, like her rattle or linking rings, and she can switch back and forth from hand to hand.
-She's been rolling over more. Just tummy to back, though, she hasn't mastered back to tummy.
-She sleeps on her side now, which is just the cutest thing to me.
-The time change has been difficult, and she's still not adjusted. She's going to bed earlier and waking up earlier, which is a little tough for me, but after she has her breakfast, she crashes back out for about 3-4 more hours, usually. Consequentially, though, because she does eventually wind up sleeping a lot all at once like that, she's not napping a whole lot during the day.
-We get lots of smiles, squeals, cooing, and babbling. She can be a regular little Chatty Cathy sometimes.
-She's a drool machine these days, so I keep a bib on her almost all the time. She likes to hold onto the bib and/or try to eat it, so it's always crooked, sometimes turned around almost backwards.

And the obligatory photos, looking appropriately autumnal:
