Hey There, Delilah: Month 4 in your little, BIG Life

Lilah,

You are becoming quite the wiggle worm! Your dad and I tried to get a good photo of you when you turned four months...needless to say this is what we got...

At least you were having a good time!

*Pictured is your turtle that you LOVE and We're Going on a Bear Hunt.

We read every day...we're still trying to figure out if you like it or not...you just yell at the books!

We capped off your 4 month birthday with a walk to get icecream (well...your dad and I enjoyed a bowl...you just slept!)

You and Sherbert are becoming better friends. You shake your hands really fast and get all excited when he comes over to play. Puzzo doesn't really show much interest in you yet...he just lays there...but he's a little lazy. I'm sure that will change once you're mobile!

Notice you're wearing shoes...that didn't last long.
You kicked them off before we even left.

You attended your first wedding this month! Our good friends Gatsby and David tied the knot! You sported this beautiful pink flowered dress. You did a great job during the cocktail hour and through the ceremony. Once dinner hit though, you weren't having it and we left early. Boo!

The dreaded 4 month shots happened this month. You were a champ, just like you were the last round of shots. After a two quick pokes and a few minutes of tears, you were back to your normal happy self. You also took a GREAT nap that afternoon.

We went to the pool for the first time this month as well. Lauren and Paige escorted us to the baby pool were the water was about 6 inches deep. We started slow and dipped just your toes, then up to your knees and then finally up to your belly. You weren't sure what to think about it at first, but once you figured out you could splash you were all for it! We laid you on your belly across my arm and "swam" as well as "floated" on your back! You're a natural fish!

The CRIB

You have successfully been sleeping in your crib EVERY night! Your dad and I are so proud of you! It hasn't been hard putting your down at all. As soon as we lay you down though, you immediately roll to your belly. This scared me (still does) and I'm constantly checking the monitor to make sure you're breathing and that your face isn't pushed into the mattress. You're going to bed around 9pm every night and waking up to eat around 1 and 5am. We are pretty happy with that and are feeling like we're finally getting some sleep! Your are quite the wild sleeper however...check out your feet here...

We are still working on naps...

*This is a picture taken from the baby monitor. You kept staring at the green light and refused to nap.

TIME FOR FOOD!

You have been taking interest in our food lately and obviously we can't give you what we're eating, but we did get the green light to start you on some rice cereal! Yah!! Here is a video of your VERY FIRST time trying it! After a few weeks, we are going to try a veggie :)

You attended another softball (slowpitch) game! You cheered on your mom and after the game "ran" to first. Here you are getting your footing on first base. I can't wait until we can play catch!
