Watch Me Grow...4 months!

Seriously...time is FLYING!
(Not the best pic...we tried!)
Maria is 4 months old!! Here is what our sweet angel is doing these days:
*Maria is 15 pounds 7 ounces (83rd percentile) and 25 inches (74th percentile)...she is quite the chunker...she has super chunky legs and I LOVE them!! :-)
*Had a great check up...the doctor couldn't get over her cheeks and how she was always smiling!
*Maria is in size 2 diapers
*She wears some 3 month clothes still...but mainly wears 3-6 months!
*Maria eats about every 3 hours during the day.
*She takes about 2 good naps per day (1-3 hours) and 1 or 2 catnaps!
*She sleeps through the night! :-) We had some issues the last week with her waking up 2-3 times...but we are back on track now!
(What's up!!)

*Maria is teething...she is super drooly all of the time!
*Maria coos and talks all the time! She smiles whenever she catches anyone's eyes. She also shows excitement by laughing and moving her legs real fast!
*Maria holds her weight on her legs for short periods of time.
*She prefers rolling from back to tummy!
*She has a super sweet personality. She is such an easy, good baby. She doesn't have a fuss time and only cries when she is hungry or when Greg attacks her!
Pretty girl!

*She refuses to use her boopie (pacifier)...she's a thumbsucker!!!!!
*She does not like being held or rocked to sleep! I have mixed feelings about this...
*She plays well by herself!
*She has tried rice and oatmeal in her nighttime bottle...she likes the oatmeal better! She is still getting used to the bottle...it's hard for her at times!
*Maria LOVES Greg...she is always watching him and trying to talk with him.
*Maria loves her swing for her afternoon nap!
Naptime with Papa!

*Maria travels in the car very well!
*Maria is super strong on her belly....she has scooted at times...and another mobile baby scares me! HAHA!
*She has had some irritation with her nose! I feel like all I do is clean it out!
*She loves her nighttime Violet toy that soothes her to sleep!
*When she wears dresses she likes to grab them from the bottom and pull them up to her mouth...weird!
MMMM....this toy is good!!

*She loves to stare and talk to people, the couch, toys, anything that will give her attention! :-)
*She loves music and her toys that light up!
*She has gotten really good at holding her toys...anything you hand her goes straight to the mouth!
*She sits up with support VERY well...she is getting close to sitting up without support!
Just hanging out in Greg's chair...he was not thrilled with sharing!
Nothing like a good nap on Mommy's bed! Seriously, check out those thighs...
Sporting her Marine outfit from Jonathan!
Mommy and Maria
I call this...Adorable!
Chilling in the Bebe Pod!
AHHHH...my thumbsucker!
She's my cutie!!
Daddy and Maria!

I am just so blessed by this little angel!! She brings so much joy to my life! It's not always easy with two under two...but her and Greg make every day a blessing and bring tons of smiles to my face each day!! I can hardly believe she is already 4 months old...time flies!
