April is 4 months old

This little baby girl of mine amazes me EVERY SINGLE DAY. She is ALWAYS soooooo happy. Just the perfect little angel baby. The ONLY negative thing I can say about her is it would be really nice if she would sleep through the night. But honestly I can't even complain about that. She gets up 2-3 times almost every night to eat and then goes right back down. She is just an absolute delight from sun up to sun down. Everyone around here is continuously smitten with her including and especially Ron. He thanks me almost daily for her addition into our family.
She is reaching milestones in bounding leaps. At her 2 month check the Doctor was really impressed with her head control and strength. Now that she is 4 months old she is already scoot-crawling (goes into an almost plank position and pushes herself forward with her feet), she is rolling from back to front and front to back. Her "crawling" is adorable because she holds her hands while pushing herself forward.  

She has this obsession with her own hands, they are always clasped together. She even has scratches on her hands from her own finger nails. She laughs now (it's the most wonderful sound in the world) and is starting to hear her own voice, making different noises just for kicks. Her eye sight is getting really good. She follows things across the room. I'm nervous I might have a finger sucker on my hands. She is constantly sucking on 1, 2 or even sometimes 3 fingers. Plus she doesn't take the bink as well as my other children did.

At her 4 month check yesterday Dr. Guthrie was really excited about her motor skills. He said that she is way ahead of the curve. I think when you have 3 older crazy siblings you have no choice but to keep up.

Her 4 month stats: (Dr. Guthrie called her slim. LOL I don't exactly see that)

Head size (40th percentile)

Length 25.5 inches (80th percentile)

Weight 13 lbs. 8 oz (40th percentile)

Her siblings dote on her constantly. It's crazy how much they love her. At times a little too much. Instead of fighting over toys or video game remotes they fight for April's attention. ALL OF THEM. The boys (and even Callie) like to read to April. Mason loves sharing his eye-patch time with April on the IPad. I feel really lucky to be in such a family with amazing loving children.
