You are now 4 months old and the strides you've made this month are incredible! Mommy started having to keep a list in her phone of all the milestones you reach each month. Between 3 and 4 months, your major milestones include:
1. Recognizing mommy's face when you see her, but you are also starting to recognize faces you see consistently. These would be people like daddy, auntie Kim, your nursery teachers, Gentry ( who we play with twice a week). If you are fussing and you see a face you recognize you stop crying and talk to whoever it is. You really don't like to be left alone or when someone turns their back to you.
2. You laugh so much more. It is one of your daddy and your mommy's favorite sounds; and it makes us feel very special when we can get a giggle out of you.
3. Your eyesight has improved so much that you can see across a room and watch mommy cook from your high chair. you love being involved in whatever is going on!
4. We got some of your plastic toys out because you are starting to want to play. Your attention span is still short, but you love playing with toys and love it even more when mommy and daddy play toys with you. Interaction is your favorite thing by far.
5. You've gotten so used to mommy putting you down slightly awake and then putting your puppies in their kennels that you actually prefer to go to sleep like this. You have a favorite blanket (that your grandma gave you for Christmas) and a favorite stuffed giraffe (that Adriane and Tara gave you in the hospital). You will not sleep without them, or travel anywhere without them. When you are tired you insist on having them in your hands. Kodi tore your blanket apart one night, but mommy spent the whole night sewing it up for you (you slept across her lap with blanket tightly wrapped in your fists).
6. You don't mind your carseat now. It's not your favorite, but you have realized you have toys on the handle so you quietly play or rub your blanket on your face while we drive.
Mostly, you like to cuddle still, but you are getting more interactive. You are such a sweet baby, and your nursery teachers always talk about how sweet and happy you are (this makes mommy feel better about leaving you for so long on Sundays) You don't like it when mommy has to do homework because that means you aren't the center of her world. But you still love Veggie tales so you deal with it while mommy works, only if your veggies are on.
You are very sensitive to other people crying or if someone yells. You often get sad if we yell at the puppies. It is very sweet.
You're fun and sweet and we are so proud of you for all that you do. We can't wait to see you grow up and how you choose to interact with the world!
We love you sweet girl!
Dad and Mom
