4 Months Old


Wow! I can't believe she is already 4 months old. Gabriella has become such a sweet, happy little person.

She has changed a lot over the last month and is now reaching for everything. She tries to sit-up but she is unable to. Every time I put her in her bouncy chair she just wants to sit instead of lay down in it. She scooted across the floor last night to get to Kate. You can tell she is a lot of person trapped in this little body and can't wait for her body to catch up to what she wants to do.

She loves to smile. The first thing I see in the wee hours of the morning when I'm still barely able to open my eyes is her sweet little face staring up at me smiling. It's amazing, from the second she wakes up she is smiling. She still loves to have social interaction. She can't stand to be left anywhere by herself. If there's things going on she wants to be apart of it.

She has become a great little cat napper. Her day consists of 15-20 minute cat naps. It's rare that she sleeps longer than an hour during the day. She is doing better at night (except for this past 2 weeks that she has had a cold).

We really do love having this little girl as part of our family. I can't imagine my life without either of my girls. They have been a great blessing in my life and I'm sure that they were sent to our family for a reason. They have helped me to become a much more loving, patient, and giving person. I am so grateful for both of them.

I can't believe that she is already 4 months old!! We'll definitely have to try to get together this summer so I can see her again.
