Lucia - Four Months

Dear Lucia;

You are four months old today. I almost missed it, but here I am cruising the internet when I look at the date and realize I have something much more important to do... wish you a happy birth-month.

This week you achieved one of your first big milestones and rolled over from your back to front. You did it twice on Wednesday and haven't done it since, once mastered a skill move on? You are working on sitting up now and can sit pretty well, holding on to someones hands for support. It won't be long till you'll be sitting independently. This week you had what we thought was a little cold but I now think that maybe it's your teeth coming through - there are some suspicious little white spots on your bottom gums.. time will tell. You are smiling and laughing and being very patient with us as we get back into the swing of our lives - with two. We have also gotten out the jolly jumper which you are learning how to work - I think you're going to like it more than your brother.

Today we went to the fall fair with Grandma, a great way to celebrate your birth-month day - although I don't know that you enjoyed it very much. Your brother did! So far you are very patient with him as he jumps around (and sometimes on) you, screams in your face, touches your head and is generally a nuisance. He loves you so much and I think you know it - that's why you put up with his silliness. I believe you are going to be fast friends, despite being such different little people.

We booked a Christmas vacation this weekend and by the time we go you will be sitting up and eating real food. You are going to be a good eater, like your brother, I think. When we are eating you have started leaning in and reaching for food, you make the most wonderful little "hmmmmm" - which could only be - "let me try, come on, give it!"

Happy four months little lady - you are already showing up beautiful and strong - and there I hear you waking up so I'm off....

Love Mama.
