4 Month's Old

My sweet Molly, 4 months has flown by...I feel like it was yesterday that we were packing our bags for the hospital on the day you were born. Your tiny little fingers and toes were all balled up...your legs were pulled tight against your body. Now, you're reaching for toys, kicking your legs, and making demands. :) You tell us when you're hungry with a specific sound, and tired with another sound. When you just want our attention, you have a way of telling us that too. At 4 months old, you can now roll over (one way), you can play on your tummy for long stretches of time, craning your neck in every direction so that you don't miss anything. I forgot how exciting it is when babies reach little milestones like these. You love the mirror, the shower, the mobile in your crib, and your bunny-blankie. You also started eating solids this past month. It's just cereal for the most part, but you've tried bananas and carrots too - loving them both. You've gotten good with the spoon and you get so excited in between bites. You love to eat. We are so blessed to have two beautiful babies, one on each end of the spectrum. Jack was serious, you are silly, Jack was too busy to eat (that changed though), and you'll eat all day long if given the chance. Jack was fairly self sufficient at your age, you are clingy and love to be held. You are both so different in so many ways, you are the link that we didn't know was missing until you were here. Love you, your cheeks, your smile, your eyes...everything about you, Miss Molly!

Here's a video of Molly rolling.

Kelly - as I mentioned today, I'm on a 'video kick'. It'll pass, so please maintain your skill level because we will always need you... No competition here! :)

Besides - you've been so busy lately that I've got to learn to do my own videos!!! :(
