4 Months Old

Okay, so I had really planned on updating this blog a lot more, but life has been a lot different than I expected it to be. For those of you who want to know all, I explain more down below. But for those who just want to see some pictures of Faith and hear how she's doing now, I'll give a little update. Today is her 4 month birthday. She has learned so much in the last two weeks, it's crazy. She went from not even being able to recognize there was something in her hand, to now reaching for what she wants, grabbing it, and sticking it in her mouth. Two weeks ago she hated tummy time-now we can't get her off her tummy. Every time we put her on her back, she rolls over. She is very excited about this and practices all the time. She even tries to do it in her carseat and bouncy chair. She loves to stand up & often tightens her abs to try to sit or stand up. She loves to put everything in her mouth, including her feet and toes. With the help of the Ferber Method she is now falling asleep on her own and taking naps longer than 30 minutes. Dale is really loving this time with her because she's so interactive. He loves to go in and get her when she wakes up because she's all cuddly. She's a lot of fun and it's amazing to see how much she discovers each day. She watches us eat-I can tell she wants to eat like us too :). And she is dying to put my water bottle straw in her mouth. It's fun to hear her laugh and make raspberries with her mouth. Anyways, lots of fun stuff now, and hopefully I'll be better at the updates since she's finally taking naps long enough for me to eat AND do something else :).

Here's the link to click so you can see a slideshow of the most recent photos. They are really out of order, but figured it wasn't worth sending them out later to have them in order :). In the ones where she looks bigger, she's older. :)
