4 months-old!

Our Laurel Faith is 4 months-old! We can hardly believe it! Time is flying! We are just so in love with her and love her sweet little personality.




-Laurel is still generous with her smiles
-Laurel loves playing in her exersaucer
-Laurel rubs her eyes and/or rubs her face into my shirt when she's tired. It's sooo cute!
-Laurel eats 6 times a day.
-Laurel sleeps about 12-13ish hours at night (Praise God!)
-Laurel is still swaddled when she sleeps, although she gets out of it at night
-Laurel loves when you stand her up
-Laurel is getting more difficult to feed, so her mealtimes are always interesting
-Laurel laughs and it is such a sweet, sweet sound!
-Laurel "talks" a lot
-When Laurel babbles on and on she makes a "hey hey hey" type sound a lot of the time.
-Laurel is getting really good at grabbing things and holding onto things
-Laurel holds her head up so much better in the bumbo seat
-Laurel is NOT a fan of the swing anymore.
-Laurel is usually held during mealtimes since she she doesn't like the swing anymore.
-Laurel still likes her mobile.
-Laurel likes the baby Einstein book, "Mirror Me" at the moment
-Laurel holds her head and body up well during tummy time and it can last awhile
-Laurel turned over a lot the first couple weeks she started rolling, but hasn't really rolled in awhile
-Laurel laughs after we laugh if she's not sure what she thinks of something (e.g. rasberries on her belly)
-When Laurel is hungry, she lets you know that she is hungry RIGHT THEN.
-Laurel has lost a lot of her newborn hair, except for a fairly good patch on the back of her head and and on her right side. The left side of her head is now bald. It's odd, but very cute.
-Laurel loves all her toys that make music
-I am starting to be able to carry Laurel on my hip a lot more and I LOVE it!
Laurel is just getting so much fun as she is playing so much more. It is such a joy and a blessing to be able to stay at home with her. I love spending time with my girl! What a precious, precious blessing! Praise God!
