4 Months Old

It is so hard to believe that our sweet AK is four months old today!

She is so precious and really developing her little personality. She loves to be held and talked to. She hates being in a room by herself. She is always ready to smile and is starting to really interact. She blows bubbles with her spit and the other day, she and Spencer blew bubbles back and forth for a few minutes...her first "conversation"!

Speaking of spit, it is everywhere these days. She is apparently already teething, and drenches herself daily with drool. I think I already mentioned she can roll over both ways, and she has awesome head control. I told someone yesterday that she is almost a "hip baby". I still have to hold my other hand behind her for support sometimes, but soon she will be riding on my hip like a pro.

She loves to chew on her hands. Sometimes she loves her passy, sometimes she really doesn't care about it, and sometimes it makes her cry harder. I'm learning to read the situation before trying to give it to her! She also has great hand-eye coordination and loves reaching for things. Her favorite thing to play with, I think, is my hand.

She seems to love being outside, which is a good thing in our family. She is also sleeping pretty well at night for the most part, but she is a little inconsistent about that. Some nights she will sleep for 8 or even 10 hours straight, some nights she'll wake up once to nurse, and then there is the occasional lapse into waking up every 3-4 hours. But overall she is doing well at night, and for that I am thankful.

We love our little Averi Kate! What a sweet blessing!
