Four Months!

As of today, Lucy is now 4 months old! I cannot believe how quickly time has passed or that Jameson and I could love her more with each passing day. There have been a lot of fun developments this month as she becomes more mobile and more of her personality shines through. Although we are far from scheduled, Lucy does regularly wake between 8 and 9 and takes a two hour nap most mornings. Afternoons are shorter cat naps, which she now takes in her crib :) Lucy has become happier playing on her own ever since she discovered her toes! Just this week I walked in to check on her during a nap and she was wide awake with toes in hand. This development has also helped her to be able to flip from her back to her tummy, though she doesn't like it once she is over. In the car, Lucy holds her head up to see out of the window instead of laying back and relaxing.

Otis continues to be the only thing that can regularly get Lucy to belly laugh so we use him as often as possible. She is also very ticklish and squeals whenever we start tickling her or blowing on her belly. She is learning she has a voice and likes talking to us or squealing sometimes just to hear herself. She has also learned that whining gets our attention so sometimes she does this, even with a smile on her face. Ornery much? She also makes very funny faces while she is figuring out all the noises her mouth can make. At this point, Lucy loves to...

go on bike rides with Mommy and Daddy,

take a bath,

laugh at Otis, 

 play with her toes,

swim in the pool and go to story time at the library (ironic since she hates being read to!). Next week she has her four month check up so I will be sure to write about how that goes. Lucy continues to amaze and entertain us everyday. She also becomes more and more beautiful as we see the little girl she is turning into. We sure have our work cut out for us but love every moment of being her mommy and daddy. We love you Lucille!
