4 Months


Neila Sage, my darling baby, you are already 4 months old!  You light up our lives with your happy peaceful spirit.  Now that we know you are allergic to dairy  and Mommy has quit eating things that have dairy in them you are your happy delightful self from sun up to sun down and every where in between.

At 4 Months You....
-roll from your back to your tummy.   This has made diaper changes an olympic sport, as you are eager to practice your new skill whenever you get the chance!

-Giggle, chuckle and belly laugh.  You wake up and the first thing you do every morning is flash you enormous gummy smile.  You think your big sissy is the funniest.  You have lots of tickle spots.  Your laugh is infectious and bright.

-Interact.  You LOVE to get eye contact and have jabber conversations.  You blow a raspberry, Mommy blows  a raspberry, your eyes get really big and you laugh a giant belly laugh....Then Mommy dies of a cuteness overload.

-Play! You LOVE to play with toys.  You smile and coo and jabber at toys.  And grasp onto them and shove them eagerly into your mouth cooing and jabbering in delight the whole time.  When placed on your tummy you excitedly kick your legs to inch your way toward a toy placed in front of you.
 
-Sleep.  You sleep when you're tired and don't put up a fuss at all, but only as long as you have a warm body next to you.  Although some days it would be nice to set you down and get a few things done, there's just nothing sweeter than staring into your sweet little face as you smile up at me and peacefully drift into slumber.

We all love you to pieces!  The first thing Kylea wants to do every morning is hold you.  You love a good cuddle from Daddy and you are Mommy's little 'roo riding around almost everywhere in your moby wrap.  We took you to the pediatrician because your eye got infected.  You smiled up at him and kicked your little legs as he poked and prodded and shined lights into your sore eye. He even stopped the exam halfway through to ask, "Is she ALWAYS this happy?!"  Yes, yes she is.  You are an absolute delight.  Keep growing sweet baby.  We love you.
