4 Months Old

Evie at 4 months

Four months old and getting bigger everyday! Evie turned four months old yesterday and she's a completely different baby these days. With each month, she shifts into a different baby and it's just as wonderfully fascinating as it was with Alex and Abby. Evie is still doing an awesome job in the sleep department. She's been waking up to eat more often at night, but I think it is because she is growing so fast. She's technically old enough to start rice cereal, but I'm pushing her to at least five months and perhaps six if she can handle it. Sometimes I think she won't last until then because she's always so hungry, but we'll see for now. So on to Evie updates round four.

Movin' and Groovin'- It's hard to keep her still these days. She is constantly kicking  her feet and when you hold her, she tries her hardest to climb up your stomach and chest. When on the ground, tummy time is the best. She will watch Alex and Abby play and just grin like crazy. She rolls both ways now and is in love with chewing on whatever toy she can reach. She is also trying her hardest to scoot forward on her tummy.

Thumb- I think it's official. She loves her thumb just as much as Abby loved hers and I think that it's a habit here to stay. She sucks it all the time and uses it to put herself to sleep.

Not quite Giggles- She is almost to the laughing point. When you play This Little Piggy, she will get so close to laughing that it almost sounds painful. She tries so hard to laugh, but mostly it comes out as a grunty-wheezy sound. It's cute and I can't wait for the full on giggles to hit. It will be fantastic.

Sissy- The kids have grown incredibly fond of Evie now. And she is equally in love with them. Alex and Abby have been calling her sissy and Evie will just smile ear to ear when they talk to her. It's adorable to see them grow on each other. Have I mentioned how much I love my kids?
