Elizabeth 4 months

Oh how time flies! Lizzy is 4 months already.  She is just a sweet little baby girl.  We had her check up and she is a big girl! She is 16 pounds 2 ounces, which is in the 95th percentile and 25 inches, which is about the 55th percentile.  The doctor was very impressed.  She is getting better at sitting on her own. She can sit unsupported for quite a bit. She is very close to rolling over. She can get to her side, but can’t get over that arm of hers.  She had her first taste of rice cereal and did really well with it.  She likes it quite a bit.  She loves sitting up and watching everyone. As soon as someone talks to her, she just lights up.  She is just such a happy little girl and I love seeing her smile.  She giggles when you tickle her neck or if I sing silly songs to her, but she doesn’t laugh for just anything.  She loves sleeping in her crib. She sleeps in our room still and I am in no rush to move her.  She isn’t sleeping as well as she was last month, but still not horrible. She usually wakes up about 1 or 2 times. She is drooling like crazy and anything that comes close to her mouth is expected to be put in her mouth. She loves to suck on her thumb (what is it with my girls?) and will usually be able to cry herself to sleep after about a minute or 2 and by cry I mean just talk about it.  She will start turning her head from side to side, when she is tired and then she will just be out in no time.  She likes to snuggle and will let you hug her all you want, but she also enjoys her alone time, so she can stretch out. She loves David, Maggie and Parker and just lights up, when any of them talk to her.  She loves being in the car and loves her carrier toy. As soon as I turn on the music for it, she just smiles from ear to ear and won’t take her eyes off of it.  She loves bath time and just splashes around. She took her first bath with Parker a few days ago and she just loved it. She had the cutest look on her face of concentration and she was just so proud of her self for kicking so much. It was adorable.  She is just such a sweet and easy going baby and I love watching her grow! Happy 4 months Lizzy!
