Four Months

Four Months Old.

We have more baby toys than a Toys 'R' Us, but all Emma wants to do is play with her fingers and toes. It's criminal. BUT we're down to one occasional feeding in the middle of the night (fist pump!) and the doctor has recommended introducing cereal to her diet. Progress.

Likes: fingers & toes, tummy time (finally!), rolling and creeping (very slowly), reaching for toys, bouncy and jumper seats, songs, and reading colorful books.

Dislikes: milk that didn't come from Mama, being cold, any form of baby sling, and socks (blasted things make it so hard to reach those yummy toes!)

We've been brave this month and have taken several trips to market and the mall, taking Em along in her carrier instead of just using the stroller. We tried a few slings, but she prefers the Chicco Ultrasoft carrier more. It's much less cute than the slings, but she snuggles right in and doesn't fuss. So the beautiful slings I was so excited to use are going into storage. Mama is now sporting a plain-jane black baby carrier everywhere she goes.

The things we do for our children, eh?
