4 Months!

I can not even believe that Sophia is already 4 months old?!

People always tell you that once you have kids, time goes on fast forward- but I never even comprehended it before having this little lady.

She weighs in at 26 inches, 12lbs 15oz (she's a little on the light side- we're working on that).

And some of my favorite things about Sophia this month...

1. Gabba, gabber, goo-goo- she 'talks' all the time-seriously all the time. I love having little conversations with her.

2. She is a little rollie pollie- she can roll both ways and scoots all around on her playmat and in her crib by rolling to the side and then straightening out until she gets to where she wants. It is always an adventure to find out what position she'll end up in the morning.

3. She sticks out her tongue and makes spit bubbles all the time- I'll do it back to her and she thinks it is hilarious.

4. Always laughing- she loves being thrown up in the air, danced with, and especially when her daddy tickles her with his whiskers under her arm.

5. Reading- she'll sit and read with you indefinitely, Rick and her's favorite lately is looking at recipe books together- she loves the pictures.

6. She grabs with both hands and sticks whatever it is in her mouth in like 2 seconds flat- she has mastered the hand to mouth action.

7. Grabbing your face- this is something she just started doing the last few days, she'll grab your cheeks and pull you two together- ultimately to put your nose in her mouth. But it is so cute to have her grab my face with her little hands, I love it.

Overall, she is just getting more and more personality every day- it is an incredible thing to watch a person become a person. It is (most days) the most joyful and rewarding experience I've ever had. I recently heard someone say- when you become a mother, your heart lives outside of you. That expresses perfectly how I feel about Sophia- she is my whole heart.

Enjoy!
