Wow! Time sure does fly by. I can’t believe my baby girl is already 4 months old! It seems like just yesterday when she was all tiny and squishy. Now she’s so long and active. The days of sleeping all day are over, she is so interested in everything that is around her. Everyone says she is very alert for a 4 month old, but I don’t know much about babies since I’m an only child and haven’t spent much time around any. She’s especially become more aware of her hands and feet. It’s so cute to watch her play with her hands and try to eat her feet haha. Too adorable! Sometimes when she eats from her bottle, she will hold her feet and swing them from side to side, my silly girl playing while she eats. Other times she tries to hold her bottle by herself, and just recently she has figured it out for the most part. Alanna will hold her bottle like a big girl, but sometimes she will raise it too high and it will come out of her mouth. She is so funny.

My big girl holding her bottle!

I love watching her grow up and learn new things. Her new thing when you hold her is to touch, grab, and slobber on your face. Or anything that gets near her mouth actually haha. I think she may be starting the teething process. She’s gnawing on everything and drooling like a saint bernanrd! I’ll be honest, I am not looking forward to this part at all. She is going to be fussy and in pain and I don’t like it one little bit. I wish I could just bypass the whole thing, for her sake and mine. I’m sure all mommies and daddies say that though. I am excited for the real foods she will be able to eat when her teefies come in. Her pediatrician just gave us the green light for rice or oatmeal cereals, and to my surprise, she likes them. We went and bought her little spoons and everything! I was giddy and jumping around like a little school girl while looking for the right spoons haha. It’s just so easy to get super excited about everything she does.

Alanna had her 4 month check up this past Tuesday and she did great! She got her shots, and of course cried, which always breaks my heart. She was a little trooper though. And holy camolie is she getting big. She is now 14 1/2 lbs and 26 1/4 inches long. Wowza! She is in the 90th-95th percentile in her height. I have no idea where she got her height from. I’m only 5′ 4″ and her daddy is 5’7″. We aren’t short, but I don’t think we are all that tall either haha. Her weight is right on track, so i have a little stringbean for a daughter hehe. If she keeps this up then I will have to put her in 6-9 month clothes instead of 3-6 months. Which would suck cause I just went and bought her a bunch of 3-6 month outfits. So please stay in that size for just a little bit, my precious Alanna. Oh, how mommy loves you, you sweet, beautiful child! ♥

♥ Happy Family ♥
