Four Months

Loves: Putting her hands in her mouth; Kicking; Smiling and laughing; The monkey mirror that faces her car seat. Sucking her thumb.

Dislikes: Tummy time; Evening time - so tired and fussy by the end of the day… we call it “The Witching Hour”

13 weeks: Reaching out for faces, and grabbing daddy’s beard

14 weeks: Rolled over for the first time!!!! Tummy to back (to the left). She never even acted like she wanted to before, so it took me by surprise! So glad I got to see it!

15 weeks: Rolled from tummy to back in both directions, left and right. Batting her hands at things. Putting her hands together and watching her fingers fold over each other. Reaching and trying to grab toys held in front of her. Delicately intent on trying to wrap her fingers to grab smaller items like links. Bringing toys up to her mouth. Mesmerized by her feet - Grabbing her toes. Taking more notice of Sadie. Sucking her thumb! Prefers right thumb

16 weeks: Sitting up in her bumbo. Putting all toys in her mouth.

18 weeks: Giggle fits… just keep going!! Really babbling; Reaching out to pet Sadie when she’s next to her. Reaches for the bottle and directs the bottle closer. Swaddle with one arm out. Likes to reach & hold crib rail. Rolling to her side and crunching up her legs.

19 weeks: Reaching out for bottle with 2 hands, and pulling to her mouth while we hold it. Sleeping unswaddled. Loooves her thumb… Both, but right more than left. ALMOST rolled back to front.  Brings her foot to her mouth (ew! but also funny!).

She is changing so fast! Literally every day she is doing something new! It is so fun to watch her explore new ways to move, and learn that she can interact with the world around her. The milestones are so exciting! I know that I will not be there for all of them, but I'm so glad I got to see her roll over for the first time! I couldn't believe my eyes!  She is generally quite cheerful... until the evening time. She has a miserable and cranky period in the evening. Usually her bath time is a small pick-me-up for her, because she loves baths so much, but even so, she sometimes is just too cranky to enjoy it. And definitely hates when it's over. We are hoping that it's just a phase she will grow out of quickly!!  She has also started waking up from her naps after only 30-45 minutes! We have started really trying to rush after putting her down to try to accomplish as much as we can while she sleeps! We are also hoping this phase will be outgrown soon!! But at the same time, I want time to stand still sometimes, while I just soak up the moments when we snuggle or laugh or smile or kick and giggle.
