Lizzie at 4 months

We are all so in love with this girl!  She brightens up every room with her smile and her laugh is so contagious.  She is such a happy and content baby.  Mark and I know how truly blessed we are with her wonderful temperament.  Lizzie has started being able to interact with her toys and others a little bit more, so her sister has been playing with her a bit more.  


 Here are her stats:
weight: 13 lbs. 6.5 oz (30%)
length: 25 1/2 inches (90%)


Here are some things I want to remember about her at this age:
- she loves to be sung to.  It always makes her smile really big
- she laughs mostly at silly noises that we make at her
- she loves when you blow raspberries at her and she blows a lot of raspberries herself :)
- rolling from back to tummy (but she only goes to her left side) and can finally get her arms out too!
- rolling from tummy to back as well
- reaches for toys and is now strong enough to pull down the toys that vibrate
- thinks her sister is the funniest thing ever
- loves to be held, especially facing outwards
- is content to sit in your lap for long periods of time
- likes to stand up while you hold her hands
- nurses 5-6 times a day and 1-2 times during the night
- still gets swaddled to sleep, but often breaks her arms out
- has learned to be quite content in the car
- sits up really well in her bumbo seat and likes her swing for 15-20 minute increments
- favorite toys: o ball with rattles, linking rings, crinkle books, playmat, and spinning wheel on her jumper seat
- in the mornings she will wake up and be content in her bed for a while before she cries.  Or if you starts to fuss, we will turn on her mobile and that will keep her happy for about 15 more minutes
- she doesn't like to eat for her first feeding of the day.  She gets that from Mark who doesn't normally eat breakfast.
