Four Months Old!

Vera is officially four months old today (well on the 28th or 1st since February doesn't have 29 days this year). 

Here are her stats!

• Weight ~ 13 lbs
• Height ~ 25" 
• Shoe Size ~ Between 0 and 1 (ironically because she has my feet...need I say more?) 
• Clothes Size ~ 3-6 Months and a few 0-3 Months here and there. 
• Bed Time ~ 8PM 
• Sleep ~ 7 to 10 hours at night, with several little naps during the day. 
• Favorite Toys ~ Wiggle Monkey and her Silver Rattle (this is good for chewing) 
• Words ~ None yet, but lots of squeals, giggles, and sounds all together. 

This last month has been a huge month developmentally for our little one. She is still a little wibble wobble, but she has begun to sit up on her own with the help of a few pillows.

  She is enjoying tummy time, and becoming quite strong with her little arms and legs. She is quite the little wiggler on the changing table too! While our family from Boston was in town in February she loved playing on the floor with her cousins and auntie during tummy time. She would talk and smile with them and play with her hands and toys while they read and played together.

This month has also brought about the first interest in the upcoming exciting world of dining! No, we have not started solid foods. But V did get her high chair all set up in the kitchen, and thus she has begun "eating" meals with us. The road to good table manors will be a long one...right now all she wants to do is play with her toys at the table. :-) One of which happens to be a sippy cup. She totally knows what to do with it, which has amazed us. She doesn't really like water once she has the cup tipped and gets a sip, but she is quite proud of herself when she does.

 Bath time has also become more and more fun! V loves to help you wash her face and steals the washcloth to chew/suck on the rest of the bath. She also loves to splash, and she has begun to really get the hand eye thing and is able to knock over the shampoo. 

As I have done in the past, I will say again how much we are in love with our little one. She is the joy of our days. Peter and I have enjoyed the last four months more than we could have imagined. Vera has truly transformed our lives in the most wonderful way. As Dame said, it is impossible to imagine her not being in our lives just four months ago. We truly cannot remember life without her little giggles, huge smiles and adorable squeals. We have learned so much about ourselves, each other, and what it means to be parents. She has become our little teacher, entertainer and snuggler.

 

<3 Always,
