Oh How They Grow

My Girl is almost four months old and her rate of growth is difficult to comprehend even when looking at past pictures of her. She smiles often and giggles at times, she turns over from her belly to her back; she can roll on to her side and balance there from any angle. When she is on her belly she’ll prop herself up with her elbows and scan her surroundings while she kicks her legs, talks in baby tongue and occasionally rips huge farts; this is a good position for her if she has a stomach ache. I remember when tummy time was dreaded, we’d put her on her tummy and she would lay their face down screaming and crying. She loves her activity mat and is constantly grabbing and pulling at objects, she is even taking baths in her big girl tub, (it’s a kid tub that fits inside of the regular tub) which she loves to splash, kick, and play in. (I’m highly anticipating the first time she takes an aqua dump) Man do I sound like a yenta in a sewing circle. Strider, her big brother, can’t seem to get enough of her and sneaks kisses whenever the opportunity arises. With her abilities increasing and the holidays coming I foresee a massive influx of toys from loving grandparents and family members. I’ve heard all the warnings with deaf ears from friends with kids who said, “your house will become your kids playpen” unfortunately for my wife, I see this in our near future, I on the other hand am still quite fond of toys; my wife won’t let me go to toy stores with her because I take too long.
