4 months

My sweet Lainey bug you are now 4 months old! 1/3 of the way to a year! I can't believe it. Time is moving so quickly. We had your 4 month check up a couple of days ago and your stats were:
weight: 13 lbs 3 oz (43%)
length: 25 1/4 in. (83%)
head circumference: 15 1/2 ( 17%)
So it looks like you're long and skinny...hmm....

Some things you've accomplished in your short 4 months:
- eat 4.5 - 5 oz, although sometimes more
-sleep 10 hours a night!! :)
-smiling a lot, it's the best in the morning when I go and get you out of bed and as soon as you see me a big smile comes across your face. It's simply the best.
-grasping objects (can grab Mommy's hair very well)
-reaching for objects
-hold up head and chest while on tummy
-roll from back to side
-roll from back to tummy (you do this very well in your crib but many times you get stuck on your tummy)
-roll from tummy to back (haven't seen this yet but your Nana did)
-sit up in your bumbo
-sit up and play in your jumperoo
-stand up while being supported
-laughing aloud (brings me such joy to hear!)
-squeal with delight (girl, you got some lungs!)
-make awesome spit bubbles
-blow raspberries
-talking a lot, saying "oooo" (as in "moo"), hmmm (like a lil grunt), "maaaam", "eee" (short e sound), "eeeaahh", "iiyyiiyi"
-hold Mommy's hand and go from sitting to standing (sometimes)
-bring objects to your mouth and slobber all over them

Things you like:
-being outside
-sucking your fingers
- listening to Mommy sing
-watching tv w/dad
-being in your jumperoo
-looking at books
-grabbing objects
-dancing around with Mommy and Daddy
-looking at yourself in the mirror
-sitting up or standing
-facing out so you can see while your being held

Things you don't like:
-being by yourself
-cold water
-sitting in your car seat for too long
-loud, sudden noises

You are the best baby and I love you more and more each day. I am in such awe of you and love watching you explore and learn about your surroundings. I am so blessed to be your Mommy! I love you Lainey bug!
