4 months

I can't believe it!
She really likes to sit forward now. If she's ever reclining in something she just tries to pull herself up (like in the swing pictures below also)!





I think she looks so much like Hyrum here
She got part of her arm out of the swaddle one morning, and when I totally unwrapped her, I saw this. You can tell she's been chewing on her hand!

She looked so sweet after church
We put her in the bath with me because she suddenly doesn't like baths in her baby tub anymore, and we thought she just might be cold. She liked it ok. Don't you love this chub?
She loves tissue paper!
I just got her an amber teething necklace, isn't it cute? Read about them here
It's been 4 weeks since I stopped eating dairy and soy and I think she reacted to peanuts and almonds as well as red peppers (yeah, that sounds weird), so I'm cutting those (and other tree nuts) out for now. Her skin is doing SO much better, it's amazing. There are days when it's all practically clear, and her diaper area has never been this good for this extended amount of time. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, and it's helping me lose weight!

She laughs all the time now, especially when I kiss her face and neck, or her belly. She loves to stand and sit with help. Her favorite books right now are Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See and Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? Her favorite songs include Popcorn Popping, A bushel and a peck, You are my sunshine, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Silent Night. According to the wii fit, she is somewhere between 15 and 15 1/2 lbs.

We will be in California from the 15th-25th and can't wait to spend time with momo!

Also, thanks Kelli for our new blog header! We love it!

I can't believe she's 4 months already either. I love the church picture and the bath picture. I pretty much think she looks like Hyrum in ALL the pics. How does one stand out to you? What a happy baby.

I am so jealous by how much Claire smiles for the camera! Cadie smiles (and laughs) at us, but as soon as that camera comes out, it's all crankiness! By the way, I need you to email me and tell me what her (or your) favorite colors are so her Christmas present won't clash with the rest of her wardrobe. I know how spoiled first babies can be...
