4 months (because time flies)

I am four months old already! Things have changed so much since I was two months old. I am finally sleeping at night (Mama and Daddy love that part SO much) and I even sleep through the night every once in awhile. I am a pro at reaching and grabbing and I can even pick things up off the floor now. I love to put anything I can reach in my mouth, including my toes - sometimes I get really mad when I get my diaper changed and I have to let go of them. I especially love sucking on my fingers and my toys, hard or soft. I can roll over both front to back and back to front, mostly on purpose, but I tend to get really mad when I'm on my stomach and can't crawl anywhere yet. I like to be held sitting up or standing and sometimes I do a little stomping river dance when I'm standing. 

I am still a little choosy with my giggles but tickling my tummy, kissing my face, making funny sounds, and playing peek-a-boo all get me laughing and there is nothing my parents love more. I am still too small for my bouncy swing that hangs in a doorway but I love it all the same! I haven't grown very much since my last check-up - only 1 inch longer and 1 1/2 pounds heavier, which puts me in at 8% for weight. Mama got all kinds of worried (she does that) but my doctor says I'm healthy so for now, it's all good. Mostly I am just happy and growing and make my parents smile everyday!

Really, pictures say it all:






The tried and true "headlock in order to chew on the giraffe's ears" trick

She really does like her swing, promise.
