4 Months Old!

I can't believe my little girl is 4 months old already. It seems like yesterday I was holding her in the hospital...we've come a long way since then.

Sophia,

Happy 4 months love bug! You are my sweet sweet girl and I love you so so much. I am so proud of you for everything you have accomplished in your short 4 months of life. So far you have discovered your hands, they are your favorite things to chew on, mommy's hand is a close second though.

You can roll all the way over on your tummy, but you haven't quite got the hang of rolling back over yet :) We have to help you out sometimes, that's ok though, you'll get it. 9 mornings out of 10 we find you on your tummy, sideways, and feet through the crib slats. You must be having a party in there when mommy and daddy aren't looking :)

Daddy says you have the prettiest smile in the world, he's so right. You make every morning a happy one (even if it's 5 o'clock in the morning), greeting us with your toothless grin. I couldn't ask for anything better.

You are pretty darn good at tummy time now, you push yourself up and lift your head so high! You love your new view of the world. I'm quite certain you will be crawling around the house sooner than later. Yikes! I don't think we are prepared for that yet! Don't grow up too fast punkin', mommy needs you to stay her little baby forever...I love you more than you will ever know!

We had Sophia's 4 months appt today, she is strong and healthy. She weighs 13 lbs 12 oz (gained 3 lbs from her 2 month visit) and is 25 in long (up 2 in from her 2 month appt). She got more shots today which she wasn't at all happy about but she was a trooper and only cried for a few seconds afterwards. I think it hurt me more...anyways we got the go ahead to start her on some rice cereal so we tried some today!

I think she liked it! In the next month we'll be starting her on solids, depending on how she does with the rice cereal and oatmeal. Stay tuned...
