Four months (1 month late)

This was written on June 9, 2014 (you were 4 months 1 day). I had to catch up before posting 5 months! 





Dear Hartley,

Happy four month birthday! You are growing like a weed. You are 16.6 pounds, 25.5 inches - 90th percentile in both categories.

You are changing and developing so quickly. You just rolled over for the first time a few days ago. You rolled from your tummy to your back. And you did it when both mom and dad were around to see! We are so proud of you.

You also just had the top of your first tooth pop through your gum. It was pretty painful for you, so that wasn't fun, but it's exciting to watch you grow! 

This month you're very aware of who you know and who you don't know as well. You mainly hang out with mom, dad, nana and grandpa so you recognize all of our faces. 

You're smiling all the time and even starting to laugh.

And oh my goodness you are talking up a storm! You are always babbling. You are an extremely communicative baby. You also love to stick your tongue out. You love to blow bubbles and you drool a ton. 

You love baths and strolls. Mom and dad take you on tons of trail walks around the lake. You are always getting to see new animals on our adventures. You also go for lots of walks with a baby born on the exact same day as you! Her mom and your mom love to compare notes on what you girls are up to! 

Nana and grandpa are always over helping out: baby sitting you and taking you for long walks. The stroller logs at least a dozen miles every week! 

You are getting good at tummy time. You can push up, and you are desperately trying to crawl. You are a little mobile now but mainly you scoot around on your back. 

Everything you can get your hands on ends up in your mouth. Fingers. Mom's hair. Sophie the giraffe.

You continue to be a very alert and aware baby. You take everything in. You really notice Winnie. You pulled out some of her hair the other day but she didn't seem to mind because she loves you so much. 

The kick n play piano continues to be a favorite in this house. You are getting a little big for your baby swing so we don't use it as much. Dad bought you this crazy colorful, silly bouncer, and you're starting to get into it. You've got a ton of fun toys! 

Your dad and I talk every night before we go to bed about how adorable you are, how lucky we are and how much we love you. 

This is our favorite age so far. We love the little person you are becoming.

We love you, Hartley Glenn!
