Amber 4 months

Happy happy 4 months to you, dear Amber!

You have grown so much this month!

Your sisters were so excited to have you sit in the bumbo.  You still need a little neck support so they sat in it for you.  What sweet sisters ;) 

You started waking up a lot in the night for your paci so...you are now paci free!  All night!  You have slept a handful of nights from 7:30pm-8am.  Every couple nights you still wake up to eat and that's ok.  We'll enjoy the middle of the night snuggles while they last.

You love to laugh!  You look for any excuse to giggle.  At dinner, you sit in the swing and stare at daddy's back until he turns around to say hi and then you squeal and squeak and laugh and giggle and he can't resist picking you up and smothering you with love.

You were a trooper as mommy recovered from gallbladder surgery at the beginning of the month.  I don't think you appreciated the no-fat diet I had for a week and your sleeping reflected that but all is back to normal now.

You've started enjoying looking at books.  You like to sit on my lap and bat at them and lick them.  Emily loves to pick out books to read to you and Savannah likes to have you listen in when she gets read to.

You can hold a few toys!  It's so cute to watch you play and grab things on your new playmat.

You love going on walks forward facing in the bjorn carrier.  It's quite the world out there, isn't it?

We love you so so much.  You are the answer to every toddler quarrel in our house.  You are the one everyone wants to get to smile.  You are a ray of sunshine and we are so happy you are in our family!
