4 months

today london avery turns 4 months old.
london continues to be the best baby EVER. she is pretty much always happy and she's a terrific sleeper. what more could we ask for?!
she still is just taking 4 ounces of formula at a feeding and is eating about every 2-3 hours. she takes her last bottle around 9:30 and then will sleep through the nite waking up somewhere between 7 and 9 on most mornings. now if only we could get the boys to sleep in like that!
she still only takes short little cat naps throughout the day, but i'll keep that if it means she continues sleeping so well at nite!
she went into a pool for the very first time this month and she loved it. she could have just floated around for hours i think.
she is talking more and more these days, and sometimes when she gets going she doesn't stop! she often likes to start this in the evening while we are watching tv. she gets so loud that you can't even hear over her. but it's the cutest thing you'll ever hear. she also will talk back and forth to you which is the greatest.
she is very attentive to things and will follow you around the room, just laying and silently watching you. she seems very curious as to everything that goes on around her.
she has been rolling all the way over on her side but didn't finally roll all the way over onto her stomach until just the other day. she rolled over for the first time on july 2nd. and ever since she's done it once she just keeps on doing it. however, she is still not a fan of being on her stomach for long and she still doesn't roll back over to her back, so once she rolls to her stomach, it's not long before she starts getting unhappy.
she still enjoys her bouncer seat and has really liked the boppy pillow as well. we never had a boppy pillow with the boys but someone recently gave me their old one and london has thought it is great!
at the end of the month london has really been reaching out and grabbing objects. she will hold and play with a rattle when we give it to her. she really concentrates on grabbing things, especially when she's laying under her play gym. she'll try to reach up and grab the toys hanging above her. it's been cool to watch her progress with this. she's getting to the point where she wants to play with toys and can actually do it.
she still loves to be swaddled and it's the only way she'll really sleep. she still loves her baths and water. she loves being held, but she also loves just laying on the floor. she loves to talk. she loves her brothers...especially hayden who can make her smile like nobody else can.
we still really can't find too many things she doesn't like. mostly being on her stomach and sleeping during the day. she also still isn't that fond of her swing. but that's really about it.
i just can't believe london is already 4 months old. she has been such a wonderful addition to this mad house. we're really hoping she stays this calm and happy!
we love you so much, london! happy 4 months!!!
