Playing with my Pooh Gym & Tree House. Listening to music. Reading Books with mommy (We made our first trip to the library this week). Playing in my Johnny Jump Up. Playing with stuffed animals. (I have a Musical Lamb (from Great Grandma) and a cuddly little lamb (from Ms. Eleanor), a Big Wilber Pig that oinks (from Grandma Mimi) and a Beanie Baby Pig (shower gift), A Talking Big Bird (from Santa), a classic Pooh (from Uncle Jon & Aunt Kellie), a Beanie Precious Moments Elephant (from The Emswellers), A cuddly Baby Doll (from Mema & Papa), A Plaid Bear (from Aunt Starr, Jason & Amy), A Baby Raggedy Ann (from Mommy), Just to mention a few. I like to help Mommy & Daddy work on the computer. I helped Daddy get my name in motion at the top of this page! I like riding in my stroller. I can roll over back to front and hold my head way up lying on my tummy. I can scoot myself around while lying on my back. My hair is growing just a little. It's light brown. My eyes are still blue. At my 4 month check up I weighed 13 lbs 12 ozs and was very healthy. I'm wearing mostly 6-9 month size clothes now.
I have a photography session scheduled with Mommy and Daddy for this weekend so check back in a few weeks for 4-5 month photos!
