4 months old!

My little peanut is already 4 months old. She is such a joy, full of smiles and giggles, and constantly talking to us through different sounds and noises. Lately she's taken to making a low growling sound which cracks me up. I'll be driving the kids some where and she'll be sitting in her car seat growling away while Jacob just sits and stares at her. It's already obvious who's the talkative one in the family. She's also holding her head up really well when on her tummy and beginning to reach for things in front of her. Her hands are extremely fascinating to her, she will just stare at them as well as continuously put them in her mouth until she gags herself. She loves her hands by her face and mommy can never keep her nails short enough so she has little scratches and marks on her face routinely. Isabelle loves watching her big brother play and laughs at anything and everything he does. I can tell Jacob's going to have a little shadow as soon as she's able to get around by herself. One of my favorite things that she does is in the middle of nursing she'll pull off and look at me with a huge smile letting me know just how much she adores her mommy, it melts my heart every time.

Mmmmm....fist!

My sweet little girl is getting big fast but to mommy's pleasure has stayed a lot smaller than her brother was at this age. At 4 months she weighs 12lbs 10oz (25-50%) and is 25in long (75%). She's my tall, skinny little thing. Isabelle is a perfect little baby sleeping through the night and nursing so well. However, she has decided that no one will do for her except mommy so anytime anyone else holds her she screams until mommy takes her back. While I enjoy being the love of her life, I also don't get much alone time. However, I will cherish this time when I am her world while I can.
