4 Months!


Our little girl is 4 months already!

My first month back at work and her first month at daycare have gone really well. She is well loved at daycare and loves all the staff there just as much. We couldn't ask for a better set up than what we have. I am able to nurse her during my lunch most days, but she does well even on the days I can't.

She's gotten two colds/coughs and was pleasant throughout. Someone forgot to tell the kid that most people are miserable when they are sick, because she just smiled at us the whole time. She's also mass producing drool like it's going out of style. We can see the teeth that are threatening to break through, but they haven't quite managed yet. So in the meantime, everything she touches is covered with a slick layer of baby drool.

Some days she realizes she knows how to roll from front to back, while other days she looks really surprised at suddenly finding herself on her back. Note: the kid really doesn't appreciate tummy time. Yes, she tolerates it most days, but overall, she'd prefer it didn't exist. She's also close to rolling from back to front, but I imagine that once she realizes that it results in ending up on her tummy, she'll realize it's not worth it.

This month she also met Yvette and Pearson while they were down visiting NY. Maeve was happy to see that while she has a way to go before she catches up to Alita in hair growth, she's still beating Pearson in that department! It was great to see both of them and we got some cute pictures of the babies together.

Overall, she's a very happy baby. Constant smiles and giggles. She continues to sleep and eat well and just seems to be a very content little girl.
EDIT: I spoke too soon. Just this morning she figured out how to roll from back to front!
