Well, hello, little darling, shall we sit and have a chat?
I know, you're surprised as well, how quickly time goes by!
In the past month you:
-Rolled over front to back.
-Have become very chatty and expressive.
-Have lengthened/thinned out (although these photos make you look awfully pudgy!).
-Started laughing more and more.
-Flinching less and less at your brothers and engaging in them more. You even like it when, God forbid, they sit on you. Yes, it has been done, when Mommy was not paying attention. Somehow they squeezed a laugh out of you, though.
-Started the transition from five feedings to four (we still go back and forth some days).
-Can stay awake up to two hours, which makes Mommy very happy to be able to be out and about for a bit.
-Getting a whole new head of hair...and it's blond! It appears as if you're balding in places, but in the light, you can see that your blond hair is coming through. Your eyelashes are turning blond as well!
You're starting to be a bit more social and smile at strangers, four to eight months is one of my favorite stages as babies seem to be always happy at this stage! You are such a sweet pea and I am so amazed at the difference physically between you and your brothers! You are so long (wearing 9 months in onesies/footie pajamas) and thin. I am not used to carrying a "skinny" baby!
You seem to be going through a growth spurt at the moment that has broken your 12-hr sleep streak again. That's okay, I expected it...you just better get back on track, soon, Sister!
We love you so much, you're such a special blessing in this family!
