4 months of Minden


Little Lady,

At four months you weighed in at 16.4 lbs and added two more inches to your height bringing you to 24 1/2 inches long. It's unbelievable how fast you are growing.

Lately you are most amazed by your hands and feet. You can get you hands in your mouth when you want them now, and I catch you staring at you feet with this serious face that says, "Are you seeing these, Mom? Where did they come from?".

Your have made leaps and bounds during tummy time. You actually try to hold yourself up and look around now. No more laying there and licking the blanket.

You are very talkative little lady. You coo, squeal and screech at us. Mrs. Katie, your daycare provider, says you love talking to the other kids. Your laugh is more of a squeal followed by a grunt. It's adorable.

You love to smile the most in the mornings, and whenever Cooper barks. I tell you not to encourage his bad behavior, but it's also cute to see you two team up.

You definitely have different cries now too. Currently you are giving me your tired cry from your swing as you drift into a nap with a yawn and a sigh.

Speaking of sleep, you are now sleeping in your crib. It has officially been a week and every night you do a little better then the one before. You really haven't fought it, but you have been giving me longer stretches of sleep each night. It was definitely a harder transition for me than you.

You still eat every few hours, and prefer to nurse heavily when I get you home from daycare. You have been drooling a ton, so maybe a tooth is on it's way.

Each month is getting more and more fun as you learn new things. You are holding onto those baby blue eyes, and your wispy blond hair is at a standstill with growth.

We love you so much. You have brought so much joy to our lives. Keep growing big and strong.

Love always,
Momma
