Four Months Old!

I can't believe it's already time for me to post about Millie's four month milestone.  It feels like yesterday she was just an infant.  Seriously, time needs to stand still just for a while. 

I can't express into word how much my heart leaps for joy when I see my baby girl's eyes light up when she sees me from across the room.  She knows I'm her mommy and it gives her peace.  Her peace is my peace.  My favorite part of the day is first thing in the morning when she's lying in her crib and I walk in to greet her.  As soon as I peer over the side, I get this precious look...


Melt my heart!

Now at four months, Millie weighs 15 pounds and 8 ounces (86%), is 25 1/4 inches (84%), and her head circumference is 16.1 inches (47%).  She is still a healthy girl!  She is starting to really giggle and laugh a lot now and is so incredibly interested in her surroundings.  She stares at everything and really studies it.  she loves for me to read books to her.  She hasn't rolled over yet but we're working on it!  She's got some weight to carry so I'm sure that makes it a little harder.  She's able to put herself to sleep for naps and bedtime which is AWESOME!  She isn't sleeping that well but I can tell the sleep training is working.  She is officially wearing six month clothing.  Her head control is excellent and she loves to stand up.  I'm going to try to start weaning her off of her swaddle soon.  I'm not excited about that.  We also started rice cereal on Wednesday.  Day one didn't go so well... 

...she fussed most of the time but by the third day she was loving it and begging for more.  The cereal hasn't affected her sleeping though (unfortunately).  I was hoping it would help her sleep better but no such luck.

Rachel and Griffin came by last week to visit.  We had another great day together and another great photo opp with the babies.  I love these two!
