Little Natasha loves to roll over almost before she's put on her back. When I try to swaddle her, sometimes I have to hold her down. The other day she managed to roll over to her belly while swaddled. I'm sure it won't be long before she goes to bed without being swaddled. Today she rolled herself over and over until she wasn't "protected" anymore by blankets or rugs. She's definitely turning out to be a baby who needs to be strapped in before I walk away. Alex rarely rolled and was always wh... Continue reading ...

Natasha's new skill is learning to put her pacifier in her mouth. I remember Alex figuring it out around this time. She doesn't seem to get as frustrated but is more curious about this little thing. She is also more content to just play in the jumperoo and look at things. She slowly tries to grab the hanging toucan and tree frog from above. And she certainly hands out smiles to anyone who will engage her. Today at church they told us she was such a smiley baby. She's so darling who loves to c... Continue reading ...

Her Daddy loves that she has, what he lovingly calls, "the halo." He refers to the section of hair that is missing like a ring around her head. The rest of her hair is reddish and curly. Jeff loves that they have the same hair color. She has a similar demeanor as her dad. And her chunky little legs are so edible. I have to move the chunk around when bathing her to make sure she's clean. She's so friendly and Jeff says, "she's a responder" because it doesn't take much to get a smile from her. ...

Today was the 4 month check up for little Tash. The nurses ooed and awed over her: "Oh, it's the beautiful baby!" Then the doctor claimed she was the new favorite baby because she pleasantly smiled and laughed while he poked and prodded and examined her. Amazing. She's kind of a perfect little baby. Although, I wouldn't say no to 12 straight hours of sleep from her.
Apparently, she's tall. 90th percentile in height. If she weren't in the 95th percentile for weight, she'd be a twig. I love the... Continue reading ...

She's going in for her 4 month check up tomorrow. I can't believe it's been 4 months since she's joined our family. Since I've been pregnant. She is a vastly different baby than her older brother. She goes right to sleep instead of needing to be cuddled forever. On one side, it's wonderful because she's very accommodating to whatever is going on at the time. But admittedly, I sometimes miss the cuddling Alex so desperately desired. Honestly, I can't say that I prefer one behavior over the oth... Continue reading ...
