four months.

yep. this little girl was four months today! i can't believe it. people always say that that happens with the third. you blink your eyes and you miss a milestone. not that i have read any books about milestones lately (i have been too busy painting my kitchen!) with ada i read every sleep book, every "what to expect" and worried through every second of her first two years. elias, well he kept me too busy to worry and was generally happy so i left well enough alone. with hanna i have no idea was she is supposed to be doing.

i do know what she is doing though.

- she can roll over from her tummy to her back, if and only if, she is not screaming and grinding her face into the floor over distaste for doing "tummytime".

- she poops about every 8 days. and generally cries on day 7.

- she is crying less. more than a normal baby, but less for miss hanna.

- she smiles at everyone and everything. she looks like the happiest baby on the block to an outsider!

- she giggles at lots of thinks, including her siblings (even elias!)

- about three days ago she decided nobody could hold her except for her baba and i.

- she has the arms of the michelin man.

- she hates the car more than any kid i know.

- she loves to ride around in the baby bjorn.

- she tends to pee on me alot during diaper changes. i swear she knows what she is doing (i think i heard her giggle.)

- she is getting better at sitting. i think it has to do with her strong stomach muscles from crying. i give her a couple weeks and she will be a perfect sitter.

- sleep. ah, what can i say. hanna tait stinks at it. really and truly. we are tired, actually, just me. she takes four little naps during the day and is up about 6-7 time between midnight and 6am. i wish i was joking. really i do.

and here she is! chubby and plump with one cute squinty eye that make my heart melt every time she smiles.

HAPPY FOUR MONTH BIRTHDAY MISS HANNA TAIT!
