First Sit on a Horse!

I'll let the pictures do the talkin...

Daddy's Girl

I will actually admit I'm a little jealous, but it is also so very nice to have you and your daddy have such a strong bond. You look for your daddy's face everywhere when you know he's close and you just get all sorts of excited when you see him.

Then, when it comes time to sleep, your daddy is who you want. He faces you toward him, so your head is level with his cheek and just rocks you and pats you. You hold your head up and look around and the next thing I know, I look over and you are passed out on his shoulder. This has happened for a couple weeks now. When I try and do the exact same thing, I think I am only 10% successful.

Yes of course you love your mommy, but you sure do think that daddy is somethin' special! (and I think so too) :D

Rollin'

Little girl! Yesterday you rolled over from your back to your tummy. Both your daddy and I missed your first one because you decided to be sneaky. You were laying on a blanket with Starlynn sitting next to you, and I zipped downstairs and daddy was studying at the table. I came back up and you were on your tummy! I asked daddy if he turned you over and he said he didn't. I say "yay! she rolled over!"

Then you did it a couple more times that day, and TODAY, you went back to tummy and then back from tummy to back.

Good job!

Also, when you are doing tummy time, you can scoot yourself forward with your legs, and you also "spin". Yesterday, you did a complete 180 from the direction we layed you down.

You're a mover and we love it!

4 Months Old!

4 Months Old!!! I love the progression of these pictures from you sitting up and wondering what I'm doing, to starting to fall forward, and then me scooting you back and then you just starting at me and chewing your fists :)

You are a champion at tummy time. You get kickin' your legs and trying to pull with your arms and I know you'll be scooting in no time, and you push your upper body all the way up off the ground to where you are up past your belly button. Those are some strong and balanced arms!!

You loooooooove your hands. It is hilarious to watch you look at them with kind of crossed eyes as you twist them back and forth and then put them in your mouth. And you'll grab your hands and play with your fingers.

You are getting MUCH better in the car. Often going for a half hour or sometimes longer just looking around and playing with your blanket. It's such a relief for mommy. But sometimes you still much dislike it and scream and scream. But, at least it's only sometimes now.

You are so tiny and sweet, sweet, sweet. Talkative, but quietly. And you're a busy little girl workin' those legs and arms.

Daddy loves tickling you and playing peek-a-boo... oh, and snuggling you. Daddy gets you to sleep by laying your head on his shoulder and patting you to sleep. He probably loves it more than you do. Two daddy's girls! Lucky daddy.

But, you do ADORE your mommy. You'll be getting fussy so I swaddle you and cradle you with your binky, and you start to fall asleep but then I look down and you are staring at me with very intelligent, all-knowing eyes, and when we make eye-contact, you break into a huge grin and coo and talk to me. It's easy to see written on your face how much you love your mommy and it makes me feel like the luckiest woman alive!
