4

When it comes to Cecilia, each new age she hits is going to throw me for a loop. That happened with Simon too, but after over three years of trying for a second baby and painfully wondering if our family would ever grow it's just amazing to see her right here in the flesh and already almost 4 months old. That time of pining for baby number 2 seems so very distant now and while it felt like forever, in hindsight that time flew by in a flash.

To say I love this picture really wouldn't say anything at all...maybe an underlined and bolded LOVE would be a closer fit.

As I said, Cecilia will be 4 months old soon and this past month has been a big one in her little life. Really, just this past week; since last Monday she's checked 4 things off the baby milestone list. It's funny because I thought I would be a lot less excited to see a second baby reach new milestones, but I swear I am more excited about them...or at least equally so.

So along with learning to grab toys, she also found her feet and learned to roll to her belly and back again. She's more of an expert at going to her tummy and forgets she can roll over to her back. While she is pondering what to do on her tummy, she yells at the world. It's quite comical and the same crazy noise EVERY time. I took a video but it makes me look like a terrible mom just letting her lay there yelling like that...so you'll just have to see it in person.

 

She fell asleep in the middle of trying to roll over :)

Four month old Cecilia is still happy and playful. She will giggle for you, but she's going to make you work for it. She will nap in the car and in your arms indefinitely, but anywhere else is probably not going to be much longer than 30 minutes or so. I always have the nuk ready to pop back in her mouth if she starts to stir because that buys more time usually. In general, she still sleeps well at night so I can't complain about the lack of naps. All around, she is easy and easy to love!

Thanks for the pic, PW :)
