4 Month Update!

This month has been full of walks, giggles and figuring out our routine! It's so much fun to watch our girl grow and change each month. We are loving this warmer weather, being able to show off her adorable thigh rolls and taking walks with the beautiful spring blossoms all around us.

Stella is 26 inches long and weighs 13.5 lbs. Still tall, in the 97% for her height, and skinny! She has developed quite the bald spot on the back of her head this month. She rubs her head back and forth like a mad woman in her bed as she is waking. Hopefully it grows back soon! We also noticed that she has a birth mark behind her ear! This girl has the oddest birthmarks, tip of her tongue and behind her ear. She got her 4 month shots on Friday. She did better than last time in terms of crying, but was completely thrown off for three days. She wouldn't sleep, all she wanted to do was cry which is very unusual for her. Thankfully she seems to be back to herself this week.

We've been loving all the sunshine this month. Stella is quite warm and sweaty all the time so she sleeps in onsies and has been rocking lots of summer clothes. One funny thing we've noticed about her is that she sneezes when it's bright out, just like her daddy! On Victoria day we went for a nice hike down by the river. Paul wore Stella in the Ergo and it was great, she even fell asleep! We took Stella swimming early this month, she didn't quite know what to think of that.

She started rolling from tummy to back this month! She also does this weird thing where she always arches her back. It can get pretty annoying when you try to sit her in her seat or pick her up but it seems to be stopping in the last week or so. We put her in the jolly jumper this month and she loves it! I love that she is able to do more things now, it is so fun to watch her experience all these new experiences for the first time.

The best part of this month has to be her laughing. She laughs all the time now, especially when you try to put her down for a nap. It's hard to be upset when she laughs at you! One day I was laying down with her trying to get her to sleep and she was just cooing away. I looked at her and said, "Stella it's not time to play, you need to go to sleep!" She just started laughing and laughing. So funny!

I can barely believe in just two short months my girl will be HALF a year old. Crazy!!
