On the 13th of this month our baby girl Finley was four months old. She is growing like a weed. I'm keeping a list of things she can do at this age. Here we go:

• Smiling is one of the things you do most often.
• I blow on your tummy and it makes you giggle.
• Everytime you notice your daddy in the room, you have the BIGGEST smile on you face.
• You are starting to raise your head from where ever you are laying.
• Grandma Cindy finally got me to introduce the Exersaucer - which you are starting to really like.
• Your starting to babble A LOT. Sometime it is even a high pitched sound.
• It is no longer quiet around the house now that you found your voice, you LOVE to speak your opinion.
• Football season has started and your daddy has given you the RULES of Football. Rule #1 - "There is NO crying during football".
• When on your tummy you are starting to reach for your toys.
• You are rolling over from tummy to back. Back to tummy has only happened a few times.
• Bath time is around 8:00 pm.
• Bedtime is around 9:00pm.
• You tend to sleep anywhere from 7am to 9am. (10-12 hours)
• We don't have to play the pacifier game when I put you in your bed much anymore.
• You LOVE your blankie. Doesn't matter which one, but it must touch your face.
• You are still staying home with daddy during the day when he is not at work.
• At Mrs. Laura's you have a new playmate this month.
• You are still in size 1 diapers.
• You still LOVE to be outside.
• You are loosing a little bit of your hair in the back.
• We recently introduced bibs because 'drool' is your middle name.
• You are bottled fed formula 4-6 ounces every 4 hours.
• You still nurse in the mornings and in evenings.
• You play in your exersaucer, swing and activity gym.
• Your Nana convinced me to give you your first bite of a banana. You liked it!
• All in all you are a Happy Baby!
