4 Months

You:
-Found your voice. You really enjoy talking to your playmat and in the middle of nursing. You also really like talking when we change your diaper.
-Have started rubbing your eyes and nose when you get tired.
-Grabs toys on playmat and always brings them as close to your mouth as you can.
-Enjoys chewing on fingers. Mainly thumb and forefinger on right hand.
-Finally put you in some 0-3 month clothes because you grew out of the newborn in length.
-Still the most smiley baby we know. You smile at almost anyone any time. (Daddy might be the best at getting you to smile).
-You've attended your first football, volleyball, and tennis matches. You enjoyed all of them, mostly because they are outstide. (Except volleyball of course)
-Dad took you and mom to a car show at the lake.
-We went to our church retreat. You were the center of attention. Everybody wanted to hold you.
-You are 12 lbs 8 oz and 23 inches long. Growing!!
-You have very little hair on your head, but you have some long stringy hairs on the crown of your head. We call them your "Alfalfa" hairs.
-In the last couple of weeks you've really needed to be burped when nursing. You have some really BIG burps.
-You're our "little puppy dog." You continuously have your tongue sticking out. It's pretty funny.
-You have developed a TV obsession. We try to keep you from watching it, but you will wrench your neck in odd ways just to catch a glimpse.
-Just in the last few days, you have started to "scoot." You actually turned your entire body a full 90 degrees on your play mat. (Mom and dad aren't sure if they're ready for this!?!?)

 You try to chew on everything (especially your bumbo!).

 Daddy's little Husker.

 Red hair? Many times it looks red....but we think it will be brown.

 

 We're trying to take advantage of the nice weather and go outside as much as possible. You are fascinated with the trees.

 Sticking that fist in your mouth....I don't know how many times you've gagged yourself!

 Break time during the church retreat.... of course we take a nap!

Oh Andelyn. You still wake up almost every morning with terribly gunky eyes. We're hoping your body will start correcting this soon.

So bright eyed.

 Looking so big! Your uncle Vance wasn't even sure who you were when he saw this picture. :)

 Mommy's little helper in the kitchen, already!

 Good morning.

 Hanging out at a tennis meet.

 Aunt Holly won homecoming queen! She let you borrow her crown because she says you're her "queen." So sweet!

 





Andelyn, baby girl, we love you so much! You are incredibly fun to be around. Your smiles are contagious. Thank you for being just who you are, a perfect you! You've brought an immeasurable amount of joy in to our lives. We're so glad you're here! What an awesome 4 months.
