Tardy for the (4 mo) party

I kept telling myself to do this blog post so I have it down in history for Nat, don't want to cut her short on her baby'hood stats.  So better late than never.....
By the ripe ole age of 4 months, little miss is .....
13 pounds 10 oz.
A child with teeth. Momma knows best. How I knew (besides her mouth becoming a faucet), the back of her head was always warm. No fever, just warm back of head. This same symptom occurred with Ben, wasn't really sure if it was Ben specific and maybe it's just our children specific.  Either way, it's a signal for us teeth are coming.  Natalee now has 2 bottom teeth!
A roller.  She rolled one night right before I got home from work, which Ben and Noni witnessed.  I didn't see it, so that doesn't count.  A few days later, I had the video camera out after a bath and what are the odds I captured her rolling on tape?! I couldn't believe it.  That was early August and she rolled a few times after that and now she is rolling herself over in bed.  She sleeps on her belly. gasp. yes she has since she was a newborn. And now will scream bloody murder because she can't roll herself back to her belly.  It's pretty funny and pretty not funny when you want some peace and quiet.
A giggler.  Likes to watch mommy make a fool of herself making the Teddy Grahams dance.  She was laughing and laughing at these "dancing" chocolate Teddies.  She is also amused when I hold her and we chase Ben around the house.
A toe lover.  She found her toes and hasn't let go since.  She also likes a good set of fingers in her mouth.  With this teething business, she loves to gnaw on her (or anyone else's) fingers.
A good eater.  Moving on up from 3oz to 4oz to 5oz and now at 6 oz. 
Unfortunately it appears she will not let these teeth come in easy.  As it was with Ben, teething totally throws her for a loop and our sanity leaves the house. Phew, it's rough and we have so many more to go. I have to remind myself, be thankful she is healthy and there are MUCH worse things we could be dealing with.








near impossible to get shot of the teeth, this was the 1st tooth

sadly she has outgrown the puj tub, loved that tub





on the biddy belly.... i'm talking to you giraffe!
