Four Months

Harper - you are FOUR months old!!!!

What are you up to these days????

• You have learned to grab - you are most interested in my hair, my clothes and daddy's watch. But you love to grab toys and hold on to them now.
• You smile when I talk to you and when I lay you on the bed and kiss your belly and neck you just laugh and laugh
• You turn to look at us when you hear our voices. Especially for your daddy. When he comes home for lunch or at night and you hear him - you always turn and look like "where did you come from daddy" and then you flash the biggest smile. You love him so much!
• You are getting so tall. You really aren't very chubby - you are just long!
  
• You are wearing 3-6 months size clothes and a size 2 diaper.
  
• You weigh 14 lbs and 4 oz.
• You still like to eat about every 1.5 to 2 hours - 24/7. You get up constantly in the night and although I'm tired - I love that time with you. We sit in the living room with only a lamp on and I feed you and surf the internet or watch tv or pray. I'm pretty sure I'll miss it when you start sleeping through the night.
• You like to watch bigger kids. You do so good at play group or in the nursery because watching other kids fascinates you (and wears you out)!
• You like to ride in the car. You just look out the window and 95% of the time - you go to sleep.
  
• You really only cry now when you are really tired. For some reason - you don't like sleep. Where did we get you?
• You are constantly reaching for either mine, daddy's or your fingers to chew on them. We think you are teething but maybe you just like to chew.
• You still love your bath. You just chew your fingers and lay there like you could lay there forever. You are always so content at bath time.
• Every morning when I wake up for the last time......you are always laying in your bed just as happy as a lark. You are usually covered in poop because you seem to have an enormous blow out at 7 a.m. every day (even though I change your diaper all through the night). And you just coo and smile and giggle while you lay there until I get you all cleaned up. You are definitely a morning person.
• You still love your little blankets and you hold onto it hard when you are in your car seat
• I love being home with you so much especially now that we can make daily outings to walk or to Target or to the mall or just to sonic.
  
• We checked on you in bed the other night and you had flipped over on your stomach. And just today - you rolled completely over from your back all the way back to on your back!
• In the last few days - you have found your voice and you are constantly making these loud screeching sounds now. You just smile and make noises - no coos any longer. You want to talk to us so bad!
• You are the Joy of mine and your daddy's lives!!!!!
