4 mos...

Lexi is advancing SO fast! She's is so much fun to be around. She's always laughing over the silliest things! I make a fake sneeze and she giggles away. She especially loves the dogs! As soon as I start playing with the dogs and they are making a rucus she starts giggling! It's the best sound in the world!
When someone talks behind her she does everything she can to twist her head as far back as possible to see who it is or where it's coming from.
She loves reaching for things. Even when she's laying in bed she runs her hand along the wall to make a squeaky noise.
She's only just over 4 mos now but wearing 6 month clothing, so she's a big girl :)
She's had her first emergency room visit when she rolled off the couch. She was fine, but I was a wreck! Also, she's had her first cold. It started the day of Halloween and lasted a week, just a stuffy/runny nose, but nothing too bad.
Speaking of Halloween, our lil pompkin dressed up as just that! She was adorable!
More and more now we have been putting little tastes of this or that on her tongue. She watches me like a hawk when I'm eating! So I usually put a tiny dab of yogurt or whip cream or something of the like on the tip of my finger and put it on her tongue. I put a salty chip on her lip to taste, and she closed her mouth and didn't re open it again! haha. Maybe she'll hate salty things like her mom :)
But she really does love putting things in her mouth. I think she's ready to start eating. I am trying to hold out 'til 6mos but lately she's been waking up every 3 hours to eat when previously she would sleep for 7-9 or more hours overnight. It may have just been a growth spurt because now she seems to be sleeping more again and earlier. She's in bed by 1030 at the latest, though tonight at 915. So we're getting closer and closer to having a schedule all the time.
Her daddy will be home in just 2 mos now for his 2 week RandR and we can't wait! He hasn't seen her since she was 4weeks old!
For now though, we are just enjoying getting on skype with him and seeing eachother on the web cam and I am constantly sending updates via my phone to his email. Wherever we are, I snap a picture or a short video and send it to his email so he is seeing what I see all day long.
Thank God for technology!
