Mia- 4 Months

Dear Mia,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get your 4 month post up.  We have sooo many cute pictures of you now and it took me a while to go through them.  Everyday with you is different.  Sometimes you sleep a ton and other times you hardly sleep at all.  One day you'll eat a lot and the next day you'll hardly eat anything.  One thing that is constant though is your smiles.  You give us tons of smiles all day long.  :)  Those are great!  Keep them up!  Anyday now you are going to start laughing.  We can tell it's just right there.  

I finally got your room all set up.  You really like looking at the decals on the walls.  When we change your diaper you always start talking to the elephant and monkey above your changing table or you smile at the flowers.  

I am also way overdue at posting pictures from your blessing day.  You looked beautiful all dressed in white! We were able to borrow the pretty dress you're wearing from your Auntie Nan (Thanks Nan!) and you received so many compliments.  Daddy did a really nice job on your blessing too.  We are sooo happy to have you as part of our little family.  We feel so blessed to have you.  Thanks for being so cute!

It has been fun watching you become more aware of your surroundings.  You like to watch Lexi now.  She loves having you around too.  Everytime we come home, she runs straight to you when we let her out of her crate.  She seems to have missed you because she always sniffs you and gives you a kiss.  When you play on the floor, Lexi likes to lay right by you.  The other day you saw Lexi at the other end of the couch and you kept trying to move towards her.  We're pretty sure you two are going to be best friends.

Here is the big collage!  There are sooo many cute pictures of you in here. There are so many things that have changed in the past month.  You have graduated to a Bumbo chair now.  We still put you in your bouncy chair from time to time, but you squirm too much in it. You seem to tolerate your Bumbo chair.  After a couple minutes you always try as hard as you can to get out of it.  You don't seem to be able to use your swing too much anymore.  Even when we strap you in, you don't seem very secure, so you now sleep in your pack n play instead of the swing.  You seem to love Tigger.  You always smile and talk a lot to him.  You have a new habit of sticking your bottom lip out.  We're still trying to figure out if you are actually sad or if you are just trying to tell us that you're hungry.  Every morning you like to stretch your arms and legs.  You are getting a lot bigger now, so you are able to stretch a lot farther now.  Another new development is that you are a Momma's girl.  You cry after a couple minutes if someone else is holding you, but as soon as you're in my arms again you start smiling again.  You are such a happy baby and we absolutely adore you.  I love being able to stay home with you all day.  Your Dad and I can't help but smile at you all the time.  You are just sooo cute!

Thanks for being so much fun Mia!
