4 Months

Our little girl is a third of a way to a year old. She's changing and growing on a daily basis. Last weekend she spent the night with my parents and I swear the next day when she was home she was noticeably jabbering more.

Wearing a tutu Grandma Mary made....she just stared at me the whole time like "What are you doing....."

Adelyn,

We have your 4 months appointment in a little over a week. I can't wait to see how much you weigh and how long you are. I'm assuming your length will be average if not above average...you're such a long skinny baby.

Speaking of long and skinny, you weigh enough to be in size 2 diapers but you're so skinny that they don't fit on you. You pee out the back of them every time. So you're still in size 1s.

You love the new Oball rattle that I bought you. You also love another rattle that we have. You just grab it and shake it constantly.

You love standing and sitting up. The only time you're happy to lay down is if you're playing with a toy or talking to us.

You roll up on your side a LOT. Sometimes you even get completely on your belly but you can't get your one arm out from under you.

You don't mind tummy time but I can tell you just want to get up and go.  You haven't rolled from your tummy to your back yet. You just hold your head up and push your arms down and try to push up on your legs. You grab the blanket in front of you and try to pull yourself forward. You're so ready to be mobile....I don't know if I'm ready though.

You wake up in the middle of naps and in the middle of the night and just lay in your crib and coo to yourself and blow raspberries for 15-30 minutes and then fall back asleep. You're a loud little girl. It usually wakes me up at 4 in the morning but I like listening to you jabber.

We love you so much little girl!!
