Getting Bigger: An Update on Our Babe.
Gracie is coming up on four months in a couple days. I just went through her clothes (again) and put some aside for storage that she’s outgrown. They look so little now compared to her ever lengthening little body!
Even though there’s a tiny pang of loss when I look at her now outgrown clothes, I’m really happy that she’s growing. She’s healthy, she’s strong, she’s growing!
She’s turning into quite the chatty-cathy. Especially when she’s laying down, she really begins to explore her voice. In the mornings now, she spends up to half an hour in her crib just chatting with herself and playing with her new found voice. She’s a wonderful conversationalist.
Though she often seems very serious in public, always observing and scrutinizing activity, she can be a really funny character with Mom and Dad. She’s far less fussy at four months than she was the first two, and we’re beginning to see bits of personality come to the surface.
Like this little piece of personality shown here. She’s taken to doing this maneuver when “the well runs dry.” No, she’s not sleeping, she’s just staring at the ceiling. Sometimes she pulls her head back and tries to find Dad…or the lamp. She must feel very relaxed after meals.
