Four months old

It has been a while since I posted anything. Leah is keeping me quite busy now. She doesn't mind to play by herself, but she is so much fun that I want to just play with her all of the time. Although she is still little, she is developing too quickly for me! At her 4 month appointment she weighed 10lbs, 13oz maintaining her 5-10% ranking. She is rolling onto her tummy more than rolling onto her back, although she doesn't really enjoy being on her tummy. It is just easier for her. She brings everything to her mouth, and gets mad when she can't keep it there exactly the way she wants it. She has started eating rice cereal and seems to like it. The biggest accomplishment (or the one I like the most) is that she now sleeps through the night. Hopefully I am not jinxing myself by writing this.

Greg was in the Dominican Republic for a few days this month. He was recognized for being one of the top managers in the company. They do a big thing every year at some resort. We could have gone with him, but it would not have been much fun with a 4 month old. Mom stayed with us while he was away. She diligently worked on Leah taking a bottle. At the end of the week we decided to give up. Leah would take few drinks and then it was like she realized the milk was coming from an alternate source of which she did not approve. She would then just scream. It's just not worth it. Since I am not working it is really not a big deal.

While mom was here she also got Leah to giggle for the first time. It was so cute. You have to work really hard to get a giggle though. It's the oddest things that make her really giggle. Greg was moving his hands while he was talking and she laughed so much. Now he does the same thing, but she isn't interested anymore.


She is such a wiggle worm at night. I said that she was sleeping through the night, but that doesn't mean I am . Every night (usually around 4:30am) she manages to get her face buried in the bumpers so I have to go move her. She is swaddled at night, too. I thought about taking the bumpers off the bed, but she turns her head so much she will bang it on the rails. I tried one of the sleep positioners and she just took it with her. So I have now found out that I can just lift the bumpers up which gives her nose room to breath and keeps her head from hitting the rails. At 4:30 this morning she had turned herself 180 degrees from where she started and by 7 she was back to her original position in bed. I think I am going to be in some big trouble when she starts crawling!

Life is so good. I love being at home with her. My friend Dana and I are having so much fun taking the girls on little shopping trips. We usually spend as much time shopping as we do in dressing rooms nursing. I'm sure the sales attendants wonder what in the world we are doing! Leah also had her first nursery stay experience. She and Addie Grace (Dana's little one) were the only babies in the room. That made me feel good! We are attending a bible study on Tuesday mornings. According to the ladies. both girls did well.

Here are a few pictures from this month. (I've got to get the camera going!)

I love the bumbo!

Cereal is yummy!But my fingers are even yummier!

Here's video of Leah laughing. At first, it was a cute little giggle, but by the time I could get the camera it was more of a chuckle. You probably don't want to watch the whole video clip, but I don't know how to shorten it. If you do...let me know! She is watching Greg's hands.
