What was life like five months ago? It's hard to remember. I vaguely recall long stretches of sleep, reading a book or surfing the net for more than 15 minutes at a time, and being able to get in my car and drive at a moment's notice.
But I didn't get to see this everyday:
Abby at four months. . .
- weighs in at 13 pounds, 2 ounces
- is longer than the average baby
- has a noggin that is in the 90 percentile for circumference
- lights up like a star when she smiles
- smiles most of the day (except after she gets shots)
- sits proudly in her Bumbo chair
- tries to eat her Bumbo chair
- blows lots of spit bubbles
- produces copious amounts of drool
- chews on everything especially my hand and the bottom of onesies during diaper changes
- loves being worn in the baby sling
- watches everything with curious intense eyes
- screams to hear her voice
- coos softly
- has begun babbling
- does a darn good impression of Superman with the help of Daddy
- absolutely loves being bare bottom - we will worry if this continues once she begins kindergarten
- has favorite toys: crinkle books, Sophie the giraffe, light-up and singing caterpillar (gift from Grandma Edly, despite my instructions to avoid anything battery-operated)
- hangs out with Daddy on the putting green
- bought Daddy new golf grips then decided to chew on them
- still rolls from tummy to back
- is working relentlessly to roll from back to tummy
- scooches 360 degrees
- has stolen our hearts.
This is going way too fast. I feel like a failure as a pseudo-aunt.
ReplyDeleteUmm, yeah. Why has it been forever since we've seen you?!
