4 Months

Dear Lucy,

Time is going by too quickly!  Four months in the scheme of things is not a huge amount of time, yet it feels like aeons since your birth and your newborn days!  You are an observant and engaged young lady now. You're working very hard on finding your hands and rolling over. You are working on your core strength and are doing decently well at tummy time.

Each day you amaze me. You become more aware, more "worldly", more in tune with your feelings and opinions. I think you know who we are. You light up like a Christmas tree when you see me or Dad. You giggle when Mommy kisses your feet or cheeks and when Daddy sings to you. Overall, you're a pretty sunshiney kid, even through teething pain. Speaking of teething, you shun all your teething toys in favor of chewing on your hands. 

We have less time together during the week because you slowly moved your bedtime up from 10 pm to 8 pm. I never feel like we see each other enough, so weekends are very cherished around here. 

Four months in, and I still cannot believe I get to be your mommy. Whatever I did to deserve you must have been something incredible. You are my heart, Lu. 

Love, Mommy
