Four Months Old

It is hard to believe Caitlyn is already 4 months old. I really wish I could slow time down. Caitlyn is a happy baby! She has had a really hard time with her tummy, but we're hopeful she will outgrow that before long. It is hard to see her in pain.
This month has been a busy one. Caitlyn is giggling now more than ever. She loves playing patty cake. Last week she was laying on her play mat on the floor and within a short time she was 5 feet away. She scooted on her back across the floor-no more laying on the bed. Then Saturday, Caitlyn rolled from her tummy to her back. She did it over and over much to the delight of her big sisters and parents. She would love to roll from her back to her tummy as well. She gets pretty far, but thankfully, she hasn't learned that one yet.

Caitlyn wants to suck her thumb, but we are trying really hard to keep it out of her mouth. Hopefully our hard work will pay off and she won't get the bad habit. This month Caitlyn has started grasping her toys.

Her other new trick is her strong desire to sit. Caitlyn tries to sit up when we lay her on our laps. She's getting strong tummy muscles, and she can sit with only a little hold. It makes her so happy to be able to see what is going on around her.

Caitlyn is learning to like her crib more, and she is actually taking naps in it now. Her favorite place to nap is still her swing. I love that I can put her in the swing and she will sleep for a couple of hours. I love my baby, and I'm so glad to have her as part of our family!
