Four Months Old

Who says you can only be patriotic one day out of the year? We decided to pull out the 4th of July duds for her "4th" month pics. Abigail is truly a blessing. We are having so much fun with her. At 4 months she is full of smiles, babbles, and coos. She talks quite loudly at times, and even had a talk with the doctor at her 4 month check up! She likes to sit up with help, and seems to like the Bumbo chair. She is enjoying tummy time. When on her tummy, she picks her head up high and reaches out for toys that are within reach. Everything goes in her mouth, and we thought for a while that she was starting to teethe, but not quite yet. She started daycare, just one day a week for now (working up to three), and all is going well so far. The staff says she likes her swing, calling this her "throne", finding that she is not too happy doing much else; but while in the swing, she smiles and talks. They say this is normal for a child to have a "safe place", and that she is just taking some time to get to know everyone. Mom hates to leave her, but I feel she is in good hands. Luckily, I'm only working part time, so I still have some days at home with my girl!
