Four Months
Four months have passed since Miss Sassy Pants was born. She has graduated from what we call the bobble head and wet noodle stage to holding her head up and rolling all over the place. Put her on a flat surface and rest assured, she will turn over (and over and over...). She's got a great smile and in the last few weeks has started to laugh. It's never the same thing twice-sometimes it's a silly face or the wind or maybe a simple nursery rhyme that can produce her giggles. So we all take turns trying new comedy routines on her. We must look ridiculous. But it's all worth it when you get this:
What else can I say about Newbie O?
She's what we call a 'binge drinker' and from time to time has trouble holding her milk. Her dark hair has not fallen out and sticks straight up in the air. If I don't dress her in pink or put a gigantic bow on her head, people like to comment on his Mohawk. I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I have actually stooped so low as to put product in her hair and given her a nice blow dry. Although she enjoyed it immensely, her hair still would not cooperate. Thank goodness my mother likes to make hats! This would be a good hair day:
She is not the best sleeper in comparison to her soon-to-be playmates. All the other Moms seem to be sleeping through the night while I am still up several times making sure she's got a full stomach. I'm looking forward to these 'schedules' that all the books talk about, because no matter how hard I try, there is no bleeping schedule yet. But I digress....I'm blaming it on the lack of sleep.
All jokes aside, she's perfectly perfect and it will be interesting to see the new changes that take place in the next whirlwind of a month (and yes, I'm crossing my fingers for more sleep).

What a precious little princess. Can't believe how beautiful she is! I really too hope you will get more sleep soon.
