4 Months!!

Again, it is really hard to believe that our baby girl turned 4 months last Wednesday!  She is now 12lb .5oz (20%) and 24 inches (50%).  Still small but growing just as she should and appears to be in perfect health.  Her 'birthday week' was a bit tough as she had her first cold and runny nose as well as the next round of shots.  We spent a lot of time snuggling, and she seems to have fully recovered now.

- She has finally learned to roll the other direction (tummy to back), but doesn't seem to do it very often.  Now that she likes playing and sleeping on her tummy she just doesn't feel the need.

- I've started taking her to daycare 2 days a week to help with the transition when I finally do find a job.  So far, so good.  Once again, it has been much easier for her than it was for me.  She went right for all the new toys and even managed to nap on day 1.  She did decide that she didn't want to eat the first couple days, but last Thursday she took a full bottle from them so hopefully she is better with that.  The teachers love her and have been impressed with how easily she has adjusted!  Now I have some uninterrupted time to spend on the job search.

- She is still a great sleeper and 6 out of  7 nights she sleeps 10, 11 or even 12 hours straight.  Naps are all over the place and rarely consistent, but that's OK.

- She finds it hilarious when we pretend to eat her fingers and kiss her on the cheeks and loves to listen to music and songs even with my horrible singing voice.

- She is reaching and grabbing for EVERYTHING and it all goes right into her mouth. It is pretty cute to see the look of concentration she gets on her face when she sees something she wants. Her favorite toy is Sophie the giraffe since she can really hold onto and chew on it.
