Ameilya is four months old as of February 8th! I can't believe how big she is getting! She weighs just over 13 pounds and is a happy, growing girl! At the recommendation of her pediatrician we started her on rice cereal and she loves it! I have been making her cereal myself instead of buying the kind from the store that you just mix up. We also put a little applesauce in there to keep her from getting constipated and she loves the flavor! She is so cute when she eats :) I meant to get a picture of her with her messy eating face but forgot to so I'll try to remember to do that soon, you really want to see it cause its sooo cute! Ameilya is growing to be a very long baby, she already is wearing her 6 month size footie pajamas because her torso is so long and she's outgrown all the others! She is rolling over as of a couple weeks ago. Just from front to back, both directions. Her legs are strong enough that she can support her own weight for a few seconds, a lot of time we let her stand but support most of her weight with our hands so that she can stand for longer and work on developing those muscles. She is starting to laugh a lot, her laughs are like audible happiness. They just fill you with joy and you can't help but smile and laugh with her.
It is so neat to see her learn, she is growing up so fast. Here are some things that she has learned in the last month: she can hold a toy with both hands, she can switch hands with a toy, she can grab a toy if you put it near her, and she's trying to hold her own bottle and the spoon when we feed her rice cereal. Of course there are so many other things that she has learned but those are the main highlights!
Here are some cute pictures of our cute little Millie! As you will see from a lot of the pictures, she is very active and therefore hard to photograph since she is constantly moving!
(most of the pics I try to take end up like this one, it's blurry but I love that sweet smile! She's so happy!)
