Another Steep Learning Curve

Dear Friends and Family,

P turns four months old this week. And, just when you think you've gotten the hang of it all, you realize they're ready to hit you with a bunch of new things you know nothing about:

1. teething
2. oral hygiene
3. solid foods
4. sleep training
5. eliminating the pacifier

And, then the big one: baby-proofing the house.

Time to get a reading!

I haven't written about her development in awhile since she rolled over in late August. In the past two weeks, she's gotten really good at rolling. She's woken herself a couple of times with her face mashed against the cribs bars. She continues to suck on her hands incessantly. And, she's begun mouthing her toys as well. She clasps her hands together frequently. She's beginning to hold her toys. She enjoys playing up/down with Mr. mouse where he lifts her like a reverse push-up and then brings her back to his chest. She's bearing weight on her legs well and still trying to figure out sitting unassisted. More smiles now than coos. Tracks voices. Watches intently while we're eating. And, is a champ about eye contact and being alert. And, last but not least, seems to think her name is "look at all that hair."

Lots of good stuff.


Cheers!
