month 4

quincy-

you have grown so much this past month! you have officially doubled your birth weight and are now 12 lbs 12 oz. you are starting to get chunky and we love all your little rolls. you are rolling around like crazy and cant sit still. you are very aware of everything going on around you and are always looking around taking everything in. you are giggling alot now and i have even caught you a few times giggling to yourself. its fun to hear your happy voice. after you got over your ear infection you went back to sleeping all night. you have even started going to bed almost an hour earlier which has been very nice. in all you sleep about 8 hours, eat, then sleep another 2-3. i feel like i have been able to start catching up on my sleep. its wonderful.
you are still a very pleasant, happy little girl. its been fun to watch you blossom this last month as you have been surrounded by family and friends. we celebrated thanskgiving at the cabin in timberlakes with the behling family and christmas here in heber with the drapers. you are already spoiled and everyone adores you! you enjoy your aunts and uncles and grandparents and little cousins. you smile at everyone and it makes everyone smile back. at your 4 month dr appointment you finally got your 2 month shots. the office has been out of them for the past 2 months so you were a little behind but thats ok because your legs are much chubbier now and could take the poke a little better! i cant decide if it hurt you more to get the shots or peel off the bandaids. you didnt like either very much. it made me sad to see you sad.

this week you discovered your hands. you layed on the bed for 20 minutes holding them in the air, moving them around and watching the way they bend and move. you also discovered your tongue. you have been sticking it out and curling it all day today, like you just realized you are in control of it. its so fun to watch you as you figure everything out.

Q, you continue to be the joy in our lives! you are so delightful and lively and we are soaking up every minute we get with you. you already have us both wapped around your little finger and we adore every little thing about you. we are so blessed to have you! love you lots.
