4 months!




I can hardly believe it. Time flies. My baby is not a newborn anymore! She is a big girl with lots of new skills and new ways to amaze us every day.
It's all about play time now. She has a couple of toys that she loves to grab and eat, and can spend lots of time just looking at bright colors, Milo, or anything else!
She is rolling over. Mostly it seems to happen on accident right when I put her down on her tummy and her arms are out in front. If she pushes up with one arm more than the other to look around at something- whoop!- there she goes, over onto her back. She hasn't figured out that she could do that to get out of tummy time... yet. Instead she just lays her head down and rests with her arms behind her, which we call her "seal move" (see the picture).
She is grabbing everything. She loves toys, especially her stuffed dragonfly that crinkles. She is grabbing at our food, too! And my earrings and hair... I think it may be time to put away the dangles for right now.
Her eyes are still mostly blue but now I am noticing some brown around the pupil. Her true color remains to be seen... maybe she'll get the Grompe greens that all my siblings have.
She has more than doubled her birth weight of 6 lbs 8 oz coming in at 13 lbs 11 oz today at the pediatrician.
