Four Months.

How can this be, pretty girl? Four months already!?

The past month has been memorable, to say the least. A few highlights for posterity:

• Your first Christmas, baby! More on that later.
• Staying well in spite of much sickness floating around you.
• Mad dash morning crafting sessions before your smiles turn to fusses.
• Your first airplane ride. (You were absolutely wonderful! Calmer than your mommy.)
• Your first giggles. Pure joy. I've never heard a sweeter sound. Who knew that dropping a pair of leggings on your belly would be so hilarious?
• First truly intentional roll. From back to tummy. It really ruffled your feathers when you landed yourself face down on the blanket.
• Some really great nights of sleep.
• Some really terrible ones too.
• Head control. Life is so much more fun now that you've found it.
• Surprising daddy for dinner at The Lucky Lab. Made possible by a rare good trip in the car seat.
• An epically bad car trip to pick up daddy at the train station that ended in tears all around. I'll be so glad the day you decide that drives are not a special form of torture.
• You love to kick in your Mamaroo, finally allowing me to make dinner nightly.
• Great walks to the grocery store. We stop to do some bird watching/listening along the way...my little naturalist in the making.
• Big girl baths. No more sink for this chica.
• Drool, drool and more drool. Perhaps the teeth are on their way.
• More love than could ever be mentioned.
