I guess Daphne is really at the end of 17 weeks this week but today marks her 4 month birthday! I think the confusion between 16 weeks and 4 months threw me off so i didn't update last week. Plus I'm not sure if people are even reading this blog, besides my faithful sister and mother in law.
But, oh well, this is really a record for daphne so we can remember her adorable faces and milestones.
as of 4 months she can {some of these pictures are old..but there are new ones too!} :
+roll.roll.roll. she LOVES to roll. if you put her on the ground literally 8 seconds later (at the most) she is on her tummy. She used to HATE being on her stomach and would whine and whine till we turned her over. (she does roll from stomach to back but she has to be in the mood for it. if she is even a little bit tired she just cries) but she is starting to tolerate her stomach a little more.
+scoot. she has even gotten to be a little more mobile then just rolling! again, when in the mood, and bribed with something interesting (a piece of paper folded up will usually do it) she will prop her knees up and scoot towards it. so far she can move about 6 inches and its quite a struggle.
+eat. so far she has only had rice cereal and only a few times. i fed her yesterday and it was like she finally figured out what do, i think she kept most of it down this time!
+smile and laugh. yesterday i got her to laugh the most adorable little laugh. i am so glad nic was sitting right next to me so he heard it. but, as soon as she would laugh we would freak out and laugh so hard and that scared her everytime.
+bink. she can hold onto a binky with a little handle and she can even put it in her mouth! usually it takes her a few minutes but she eventually finds her open and ready mouth. it is adorable!
+sleep. we usually still get up once during the night to put her binky back in but that is usually enough to calm her down and she goes right back to sleep. She still likes to sleep in our bed in the mornings. This morning when we all woke up at 9 (she had been in bed with us since 6) i looked at her and said: you can't come in bed with us every morning and she looked back at me with the cutest, widest smile and i said: ahhh ok! you can! between putting her binky in and bringing her in bed in the morning she is sleeping 10-12 hours each night. its fabulous.
bascially, we fall more in love with her everyday. she is always doing something cute and even if she has been sad and whiney and hard to handle for an hour she can just look at me in a certain way and i don't even care at all. i love being her mom and nic loves being her dad. we got a good one.

A good one indeed! I love her too. I loved all the new pictures on this post. Aren't I fairly brimming with love this morning! I miss you guys and hope you can come back soon, even though it will be in the wee house and crowded. Oh, I guess you stay at mom's house anyway. But you know what I mean.
luv n peace
What a beautiful and sweet face and radiant eyes my favorite grandchild has! Plus two fabulous parents that LOVE her so much, what more could she ask for?

I read it too:). I love the picture of you and Nic kissing her cheeks. Yeah for milestones!! They're so fun. They change so quickly.
I love that blanket she is laying on in the last pic...where is it from? And she is so cute! I'm reading cause my little one is just 1.5 months behind her...so I'm seeing what I have to look forward to!
