Four Months

Grace Mae - you are FOUR months old!!! 
You weigh 11 lbs and are 23 3/4 inches long
You are wearing mostly 3 months clothes.
You wear a size 1 diaper. 
You got to experience your first Ohio State football party this month! You were the cutest one there! 
You are sleeping thru the night and normally finish your last feeding about 11 or 11:30 and sleep until about 6 o'clock when I feed you before I go to work. Most days you go back to sleep until about 9:30 when you and Daddy get up for the day. 
You have only woken Mommy up to eat in the middle of the night once or twice...guess you are stockpiling from your hour long nighttime feeding!
You have become quite efficient with the whole nursing thing. What used to take 40-50 minutes now only takes about 20, except in the evenings when you just want to spend a little more time with Mommy. I don't mind, its our special bonding time. Oh and you also have broke free from the shield! This is huge and now only use it at night and in the morning when you are kinda lazy and don't want to work as hard. You are doing great, I am so proud of you. What started out as a struggle has become a normal part of life for both of us!
You love bathtime, and have started kicking your legs and getting water on the counter. Its cute. You have turned into quite the little smiler too! You are seriously one of the happiest babies that I have ever seen, You wake up with a smile and are quick to give them to everyone who sees you. Its getting trickier to try and capture those smiles, 
but every now and then I manage to get one!
You just started rolling over this month....and you have done it a few times! You are going from back to belly and normally go towards your left side. Daddy saw you go from belly to back, but I haven't seen that one yet. You are doing so much better with tumytime and manage to stay there a little longer when you roll over to your tummy. You are doing great little girl!

You are sitting up much straighter and holding your head up good. You have given us a few giggles and love when daddy gives you raspberry kisses under your chin..you giggle and squeal! Its so cute! You are one of the best spit bubble blowers around. You end up soaking your onsies and your stuffed toys. I think its a sign that you will be busting out some teethers soon! You constantly have your hand in your mouth and are chewing on your fingers. Bet the next update will have a picture of some little white nubs in your mouth!
Oh you are growing up so quickly!
We love you slobber butt!

She's absolutely adorable, Mendie! Also? I love the height difference between you and your husband. That's exactly what it's like for Jesse and me!
