4 Months!

Happy 4 month birthday Miss Amelia! 

It has been the most WONDERFUL months of our lives!

We love you so much and cannot believe how fast you are growing!

As usual, I have to begin with a look back at the day you were born! So tiny, so new!

In just 4 short months you are blossoming into this beautiful little girl, full of life and personality! Every day is an adventure! 

 Month 4 has been pretty awesome! You are so much fun with all of your smiles and giggles! You are starting to play with things now. Grasping for them and putting them in your mouth! You are our little explorer!

 Early this month Daddy got out your exersaucer/jumpy thing and put it together! At first you just stared at all the little toys! We didn't leave you in it for very long because your little feet didn't even touch the floor. Now, at the end of the month, your feet are almost completely flat on the floor and you love to play with the toys! You love to spin the little froggy the most! And move the beads up and down! It has been a life saver for Mommy at times... i get to go to the bathroom by myself! And have even managed to do some dishes! :) It is so hard to put you down! I want to spend every moment I have with you!

 Mommy still loves dressing you all up! You have so many cute clothes that were given to you or handed down from Sophie & Ella! We love to try on all the cute outfits and the occasional shoes! You are so pretty and look good in every color and pattern!

 This month Mommy learned how to make onesies! Papa calls you his "Squeezle" and that is why I made you this "Papa's Squeezle" onesie! I just love making things for you! Someday we will make things together!

 You still LOVE bath time and showers with Mama! You are so happy! You love to feel the shower on your back and on the top of your head! You don't even mind when the water runs over your face! You do hate getting out though.... and are not a big fan of getting lotioned! 

 You on the changing table! We spend lots of time here, don't we! All those poops and outfit changes!

 On January 20 we took the newborn napper out and you started sleeping flat in the pack-n-play! Mommy was a little worried about how you would sleep, but you did AMAZINGLY! You only got up one time, at your regular 5am to eat! Mommy and Daddy were so happy!

 So Happy! You still go to daycare while Mommy and Daddy are at work! You love Ann and Crystal! They are so good to you! They both enjoy rocking you to sleep and say you are the best baby in their room right now! You are such a pleasure to be around! People cannot resist smiling when you are around! You bring joy to the lives of everyone! Especially family, but strangers as well!

 Look at all those rolls!!! Mommy loves to munch on you all the time! Seeing as though it is winter I don't get to see you in just a diaper very often! I love your round little belly and your cute chunky legs! And those CHEEKS!!! Who can resist 'em!! You are SO tasty!! Right before I took this picture I blew a raspberry on your belly for the first time and you loved it! You smiled, laughed, and told me all about how fun it was! (might  i add, about 3 min after this I got you all dressed in a nice new outfit, picked you up, and you threw up all over your new outfit and down my neck and shirt!)

 This was a sad day, a sad day indeed. Your nails needed to be trimmed really bad, so I went to work on them! I finished your right hand with no problem. Then moved to the left. I ended up clipping the end of your finger with the nail clippers. It was HORRIBLE. First you looked at me like I had just destroyed your life, like I was the biggest traitor. Then you gave me "the lip" and burst into tears. Then I burst into tears. It was so bad. I felt horrible... I decided maybe i could help you calm down by nursing you. So, you latched on and BIT me. Karma I suppose. I guess I deserved it! I am happy to report that you got over it a lot faster than I did. (i still want to cry thinking about it)

 The BIG news of the month are these two little teeth that have emerged! You are so little I cannot believe you have teeth! Daddy got this great picture of them while he was taking your 4 month pictures! Go Daddy! You are really starting to chew on things and use those teeth! I suppose this next month we will have a lot of first foods to blog about! Got to put those big teeth to use!!!

Look at you!! You are so CUTE! You are getting so big! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

Happy 4 month birthday Pretty Girl!

We cannot wait to see what month 5 brings!!
