Fun on the farm

We took a little field trip to Kuiper Family Farm last Sunday for Jason's birthday.  It was the perfect fall day.  Bright blue skies.  Warm sun.  Cool fall breeze.  The smell of fried dough in the air.  Apple trees, pumpkins, kids.... kids... and more kids... everywhere!

While we waited for some of the group to pick apples, we had a little family photo shoot.  Happy fall! 

4 months

My sweet girl turned 4 months old this week.  *Sigh*  The months keep rolling by... and quickly, I might add.  I feel I will say this every time but while I miss my tiny nugget in the newborn stage, each month brings new developments that are so fun to witness.

4 months
13 lbs 2 oz
24 inches (and then some - I didn't catch it all at the pediatrician appt - when your child is crying, it's hard to take in what the dr is saying).

Milestones
She has rolled over from tummy to back twice now.  I think the first time was an accident.  And the second time, I laid her on her tummy, turned for two seconds to grab a burp cloth and she rolled over by the time I turned around. Quick girl!
She has tried and tried and tried to roll from back to tummy but to no avail.  
She talks a lot which is one of my favorite things.  It is so stinkin' sweet.  
She gets excited when she sees us and herself in the mirror.
We have finally turned a corner with bath time!  She still looks a little apprehensive but she doesn't scream anymore.  Win!
She drools constantly.  And I mean, she soaks everything her little mouth touches.  
She has found her voice when it comes to letting us know she's annoyed or wants something she can't get for herself.  It's a whiny growl type noise.  
She only naps for 30 minutes at a time.
She has learned how to suck her thumb.
She is now successfully sleeping unswaddled.
She does not know how to soothe herself to sleep - that means we are left holding in her pacifier until she falls asleep.  This process can take anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour.  Yes, we will be sleep training very soon!
She is doing much better in the car seat.  We still have yet to make a full trip without her getting upset.
She is generally a very happy baby!  Most days are great days!  

Momma still has trouble getting much accomplished most days but I suppose keeping my child alive, healthy and happy should count for something.  :-)  

Happy 4 months my love.
