Lily has really blossomed into a personality this month! She is such a sweet, laid back baby that tells you when she really needs something!:) She loves to smile and watch her big sister every second! It was about this time last year that we found out we were blessed with another miracle... Lily had started to grow in her mommy's belly! A true gift from God! My oh my how time goes!
Here are some highlights from Lily's 4th month:
-Lily loves her hands! Hardly ever a moment you don't catch her with her hands in her mouth or grabbing a toy.
-Lily had her first giggle this month! She is still working on the big laugh but loves to open her mouth really wide and smile.
-Lily is starting to grab everything! Mommy's hair, necklaces, clothing, Caroline!
-Her wake time is increasing and we love being able to play with her more and more!
-Lily loves to be awake outside unless we are going on a walk. She is still working on getting used to the carseat in general and especially the carseat stroller rides!:)
-She loves to read books with mommy and big sister... and tries to grab the book and reads aloud along with us:)
-Lily still rolls from tummy to back... still waiting on that big back to tummy roll... any day now!
-She is still a great night sleeper! Maybe wakes up once early morning but goes right to sleep at night.
-Napping is still ergo/crib but next month we will be trying some self soothing so we will have longer crib time! Pray for us!! I'm sure she will do great and be a happier baby for it but mommy will have some adjusting to do!
-Lily loves to hold on to her ball and throw it and catch it with her feet... it's quite the sight to see! She also love to be propped up on her boppy while playing.
-Lily enjoys hearing her mommy and sister sing (even though it may be scary to others:) )... her favorites are "You are my Sunshine", "Jesus Loves Me" and of course her sister's favorite "Twinkle Twinkle".
-She wants to sit up so much. She tries so hard and falls over but she is quite determined!
-She loves rolling to her side
-Her new best friend is her Sophie toy... she loves to grab and chew on her!
-She really is starting to talk more and loves to be social and have long conversations on her changing table!
Next month will be a biggie... starting rice cereal and trying out some new toys like the bumpo and exersaucer! Lily you are such a great example of love, beauty and gentleness. You amaze us more and more each day and teach us so much about life and love! Our hearts have grown bigger and our world has been changed for the best!
