Happy 4 months!!

Happy 4 months old to my precious daughter! I can't believe Christmas has come and gone and she is 1/3 of a year old. I dreamed about this time in my life for a long time now. When I found out last New Years Eve I was pregnant, I thought...I can't believe we will have a baby next Christmas...and well here we are. Christmas was a good time. We spent the few days at Lake Lure with my family. However, I must say that she is a different baby than 2 weeks ago...and well I hope this personality does not stay around too long.
I guess what I mean is the past 7 days have been so trying on our patience. We have a different child on our hands...she has been tuff. What's wrong you might ask? I am really not sure...is she teething?...doc says no. We started cereal...is her stomach upset? We are so confused as to what is causing our daughter to be so fussy. We go to her 4 month well visit next Monday, so I hope we will get some in site then.

On a better note, she is developing so good. She was 15 lbs. 6 oz a week ago, so she has slowed down quite a bit, which is a good thing. However, she is still really long for her age, is is wearing 6-9 months already. WOW. She is still not able to roll over on her own (she has done it a handful of times), but she is starting to grab things a lot. She wants to rub on shirts and blankets and fell the texture. She also loves to hold her bottle, when she gets one! The best part for me right now is napping with her. I have been off work for the holidays, so the last 2 days I have laid on the couch with her and taken a morning nap...which has been great for the both of us.. She is not so fragile anymore, so it's easier to lay with her. She has always been such a good cuddlie!!I also love her laugh...she is starting to giggle out loud more and it melts my heart. Love it!!

Happy 4 month Bday to my precious (sometimes fussy) little baby girl!!
