| Eeek! I am how old mom?? |
Happy 4 month birthday little girl! What a FUN month this has been. She has such a personality now and Eric and I are just eating it up. To top things off, she decided today would be the day she would roll over multiple times on her own! She's done it a few times but couldn't get that darn arm out from underneath her until today!

| Rolling to my side! |

| I rolled all the way over on my own! |
The last four weeks she's really been interacting with us...she loves to smile, carry on cooing conversations, and attempting a laugh here and there. Going back to work brought so many emotions which we won't get into but what I will say is I am so grateful that I got to experience those extra four weeks with her as hard as it was to go back.

She's also really taken to Jack. She notices him, loves when she gets licks from him and is just really curious about her big furry brother.
She used to be so content just sitting in her boppy or playing alone in her play yard, but not anymore! Anytime we put her in the boppy she is trying her hardest to sit up. By far her favorite thing to do is stand with our help. She really starting taking to her toys the past few week as well. The O-Ball is still her favorite, but she now likes chewing on Sophie the Giraffe, a few other toys and started to play in her jumperoo!

| Pulled myself to sit up in the boppy! |

| Loving my hands and Sophie! |

Stella's become quite the sleeper, knock on wood! She's sleeps pretty consistently from 8-6 without a wakeup, now loving to sleep on her side. A few weeks ago when she started rolling to her side, we stopped swaddling her as a precaution and had a few shaky nights of sleeping, but since then she's become a rockstar! No more straight jacket for Miss Stella! Every night when we put her down she will end up waking moving 180 degrees and sleeping on her side. Not only is she a spitting image of her father, she also shares the love of side sleeping like him. That 6AM wakeup call is all worth it when you go into her room and see these smiles when you say good morning!
And... on to that thumb. We have no interest in our pacifier anymore. Once she discovered that thumb, she just can't seem to get enough. As a matter of fact, she just can't get enough of those hands and her mouth... lots of drool, lots of wet shirts, lots of wet faces, lots of bubbles especially when she is "talking" to us.
Our peanut is growing so so fast and although I'm sad that she's growing up so quickly, I love to see her hitting milestones and exploring the world. It's just amazing to watch her discover new things.

Happy 4 month birthday Stell-Bell...can't wait to see what next month brings!
