Highlights from her fourth month:

Maddie has gotten very strong in the past month. She kept breaking out of her swaddle blankets so she sleeps with her arms and legs free these days. This means she gets to sleep all night long with her arms up next to her head, just where she likes them. She learned to slam her legs down on the mattress with authority and it kept her awake for a few nights until she decided that she had mastered her new skill. Next, she managed to capture her legs, and a week later her toes were in her mouth!! Her neck is very strong and she has started to enjoy tummy time. As a birthday present to Poppo, she rolled over for the first time on his birthday. She likes to “Superman” on Mommy’s legs and can sit in her Bumbo with some assistance. She can move things back and forth and rotate them in her hands and likes to help feed herself her bottles.  She blows bubbles and makes raspberries when her hands aren’t completely stuck in her mouth. She has started babbling and squealing and has a little laugh. Can’t wait to hear a full out giggle. She is facinated by the baby in the mirror and has started to show interest in her “fur-brother” Lucas. She enjoys being outside and taking walks with him.

Maddie had a fun time celebrating Poppo’s birthday. She rolled over with excitement when she found out she was going to drive Poppo’s fancy car. She settled down when she found out she was just going to sit in it. A girl can dream…
