My baby is 4 months old
How did that happen? Wow. She's also fat! She's 17 pounds 11 ounces and 26 1/2 inches long. That's a little more than Ally was at that age, but pretty close. I don't make a lot of extra milk, but apparently, the milk I do make is thick or something.
Anyway, I think I've mentioned before how much I love this age. Anya is roolling over regularly - anytime she feels like it. Even if I'm in the middle of changing her diaper or the doctor is trying to listen to her heartbeat during her checkup. She's moving backwards a lot. She scoots off her blanket on the floor all the time. Sometimes even forward (but those times the progress is usually on her nose). I put her on the couch last weekend, and turned away for a second, and she lurched off. Banged her head on the floor to. I felt so bad, and she screamed! But, she's okay and I won't be doing that again.
She's smacking at toys and playing and chewing on many of them. She tries to grab things sometimes, but doesn't have her fist open, and just smacks them. She can't always figure out why she can't pick them up that way. She studies things seriously. She'll stare at a spot on the floor for quite a while. She loves watching Ally. She's discovered her hands and feet are good for chewing. She always sucks her thumb, but now she grabs her hand with the other one and tries to shove it all in her mouth. Rob had her the other day, and found her socks soaking wet. Apparently, she managed to suck on them for a while. (Apparently, I lke the word "apparently". have been using it much lately. It's my word of the week)
We put Anya in the walker outside on the patio last weekend too. She loved it. She was just truckin around everywhere. Her socks were falling off with all the pushing, so I took them off. THem her little toes got all scratched up. I won't be doing that again either. Poor kid. but the walker was a definite hit.
I'm getting ready to switch her clothes over to the next size (6-9 months). She's ready, but I had to get all that stuff down from the attic and sort through it and wash it up and all that. It's all washed now, but I have to sort it into seasons and find a place for it. New clothes - Yay! I love new clothes for the kids. Don't know what size Ally need for the winter. Looks like we may start it out in 3T, but can't be sure of that until I get her long pants back out and start shoving her in them.
Ally is very excited. She's waiting for her birthday. She knows she'll be 3 and can't wait for the cake and ice cream. 3 years old. Where did the time go?
