Happy 4 Months Beans!

Time sure is flying by us, Zoey. I couldn't believe it when you were 1 month, then 2, and now 4. Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I am so excited for you to see all the exciting things that the Holiday seasons bring. You are going to be such a great age at Christmas, but you are a great age now, too!

• You love to eat, and I'm so excited that we are starting solids. So far you eat rice cereal and squash. In a few days, we'll try carrots or sweet potatoes.
• You love to snuggle, but you like your alone time too.
• You started to growl like a lion, and your face when you do it is hilarious.
• You love your taggy blanket that your Aunt Erin made you and we take it everywhere.
• You are starting to grab at everything. What we have you want, including phones, remotes, and hot dogs.
• You try to hold your own bottle, but it is just a tad too heavy for you yet. Soon.
• You want to feed yourself because I am just not fast enough with the spoon.
• You love Daddy's beard, and you're always trying to grab and touch it.
• You've discovered the dog...and you want him. Bad. You are going to be his worst nightmare.
• You've stopped sleeping through the night ever since you got your teeth, and you now get up to nurse at least once. Usually around 2 or 3am.
• You love to ride in Daddy's truck. It puts you to sleep everytime, no matter what.
• You roll over. Already. The way you aren't supposed to be able to until 5 or 6 months. You are way too advanced for Mommy!
• You like when Mommy and Daddy read to you (thank goodness!). Daddy likes to read the same book over and over (Green Eggs and Ham) and Mommy likes variety, bringing home new books from the library all the time. You love to look at the pictures and try to touch the pages. Mommy now understands how all our children's books at the library get ripped!!

We love you to pieces baby girl, and we love watching you grow every day!
