4 months!!

Oh my word, where has the time gone?? My baby is already 4 months old :( She is hitting all sorts of milestones already and it just makes me sad!! Excited, but sad. I don't want her to grow up too fast, but yet it's exciting to watch her little mind work and see what new things she can accomplish. Her latest: rolling from belly to back and starting to eat baby food! Her four month check up went something like like this: she weighs 12lbs 5ozs, is 23  1/2" long, her head is in the 59th % range for size (big head lol). She is so alert and focused on people when they are around, watches us intently while we eat and holds her head up on her own like a rock star, so the Dr. gave us the go-ahead on starting baby food.

I picked up a butternut squash that afternoon and finally got around to baking it and pureeing it a few nights ago. LOL, needless to say, it didn't go over very well lol. She would take the spoon into her mouth, but then immediately kick the food back out with her tounge. I don't think we ever did get any down her. But, we'll keep trying :)

We decided to skip 3 month pictures since not much really changes from newborn to 3 months, and instead did 4 month pics. We went through the same photographer that did her newborn pics and I'm so glad we did. She did an amazing job! Below are 2 of her many pics. We also got some family ones done, so I will have to post those later when I get the rest of the pictures back.

 She was totally sitting on her own in this picture!! Even leaning forward. Her newest plaything is her feet! It's sooo cute how she watches them and then tries to grab them. lol.

 Look at that big girl smile!!

 She has sooo much hair on top of her head, that I decided one night just for fun, to see if I could get it into a ponytail! I did and it even spouts out a big lol. She didn't even mind it being in her hair!

 She's all ready for summer!! I found her some really cute summer hats to cover her precious head and they are finally starting to fit her! I can't wait to take her on all sorts of outings this summer :)

And lastly, this is why our Pediatrician thinks we will have an early walker. All she wants to do is stand up! So I stood her up one day up against the ottoman, and she stayed that way, barely propped against it for about 2 minutes before her legs gave out!  She's such a big girl!!
