Four Months Old


On October 15th Alma turned four months old! Four months old is just the right size - when I lay her down on my lap she is as long as my legs are wide. I feel very ambivelant about Alma getting older, on the one hand I am very excited to see her grow and develop but on the other hand I am sad that she won't be a baby forever. We took this picture of her (below) to commemorate the day - Dan thinks she looks grumpy, but I thinks he was just tired. I also wanted to take a minute and write down what Alma is like at the ripe old age of four months. When I asked Dan to describe Alma he responded " the sweetest, most cuddly cutest, intelligent baby ever. In the entire universe." I think he is a tad on the proud side. If I were to choose one word it would be curious. Alma is a very observant baby - when she is interested in something she looks and looks and you can see the wheels turning! One of her favorite things to do is go for long walks. If you put her in a front facing carrier and start walking she won't make a single sound, she will just look around and take it all in. She also really likes to stand in front of the window and look outside. I think she will be a great outdoorsperson when she gets older.
Alma also really enjoys laying on the floor and rolling around. She started rolling over at 6 weeks and she just keeps getting better and better at it.


She is still enjoying her boppy time. In the mornings she sits in her boppy on the couch with me while we watch Jon Stewart.



And, of course Alma still loves to snuggle and sleep. We love it when she is sleepy because she gets really cuddly and just nuzzles right up to you. It is hard to put her down when she is being that sweet!
