4 Months

My sweet Hadley,
Four months old... wow! What a blessing it is to be your mama and see you grow, change, and hit milestones! You have definitely hit some milestones this month-especially in the past week and a half. You started grabbing at toys and trying to bring them to your mouth. Used to, when we would lay you on your play mat you would just watch the toys dance around above your head, but now you are all about grabbing and batting at them. You are content for a good while playing under that play mat. You are still working on having control of your limbs, but you're getting there. Another huge milestone that you've hit in the past few days is rolling from your back to your stomach. You worked for weeks on this and it's so fun to see your hard work pay off! Once you figured out how to do it, though, there was no stopping you! There have been several times that I've left you on your back only to return to you on your stomach. It always makes me smile.
You are quite the chatter box, missy. You love to hear yourself talk and you've definitely got all your vowels down. You also like to say the g sound. Me and daddy will take you somewhere in the car and we'll hear you talking up a storm in the backseat. You've got the sweetest little voice!
You've become a great sleeper! You sleep 8-10 hour stretches! This month I'm planning on transitioning you from your bassinet into your pack-n-play to sleep. Instead of sleeping at an incline you'll start sleeping on your back. You'll still be in our room (Mommy's not ready for you to sleep in your room yet) but sleeping on your back will help you get used to how you'll sleep in your crib. I'm hoping you'll still be a great sleeper through this transition!
I am so proud of you and your accomplishments, baby! You're the most sweet, beautiful, fun baby that I've ever met and I love you with all my heart!
Love Always,
Mommy
*I'll post your stats after your doctors appointment on the 26th.

This green dress is your Easter dress. You look so beautiful in green! It brings out the pretty red in your hair.






I think you resemble Aubrey in this picture.

You started to get a little bit fussy about taking pictures...

but the pacifier always does the trick.
