Four Months {My blue eyed Georgia Mae}

Four months might be my favorite age!  My sweet little baby is showing so much personality and is starting to explore her world, but she is still content to snuggle in my lap.  My favorite thing about Georgia at this age is that she is so social - she loves to smile at people and her whole body does a little wiggle!  I also love that when I look down over her crib each morning and she recognizes me, her whole body scrunches up with joy and she smiles SO big!  Love her!






This is what Georgia is doing at 4 months:

*Everything goes in her mouth!  She has learned to reach and grasp - and now to the mouth it goes!

*She found her voice and loves to squeal!
*The mirror!  This baby loves to smile at herself in the mirror. It's so fun to watch her glance away and then back at the mirror.  Each time, she is surprised to see herself and she grins so big!
*She is starting to stick her hand in my mouth -LOL.  Little explorer.
*She is rolling both directions

*She now insists that she sleep on her belly
*She loves for you to kiss her belly and responds with giggles and squeals 
*She is the best little sleeper, but we have entered the 4 month developmental leap/growth spurt/sleep regression.  I think we are almost through it!  She started sleeping through the night (9-10 hours) 6 weeks ago, but I have been watching the calendar and preparing myself...The good news is as soon as I get her back on schedule, she'll cut a tooth!  
*She is SO social.  She is my first baby to really turn toward people.  
*She loves her sisters so much!  When she hears Abigail's voice, she smiles from ear to ear and starts looking for her.  My big girls sing for her and tell her stories.  And they are the best helpers! 
*She weighs 12 pounds and is 24 inches long.  She is barely fitting in her 3-6 month sleepers!
* She loves. Her. Feet.  Like, can't get enough of those toes!!!
Since I could barely keep Georgia on her back, I thought I should document her biggest developmental milestone this month.  She is now rolling onto her belly and reaching for toys.  The Physical Therapist in me is so proud! 






















Four to eight months is definitely my favorite baby stage, so I'm going to enjoy each little snuggle and baby laugh that I can before she is on the move.  She is so much fun and our lives feel more complete with our little blue eyed baby Georgia! We love you little bit!
