I am a bad mommy! LATE 4 month letter :o)

I have been so busy, exhausted and stressed out due to work that I haven't even thought about my blog it forever. Lauryn is doing so super great, and is getting her 4-month check-up today with shots to boot :o(

Dear Lauryn,
WOW is all I have to say about how much you have changed over the past few weeks. You went from being a tiny infant to being a "real baby" as I call it. You flail your arms and kick your feet when you are excited. You smile all the time and "talk" to yourself or whoever will listen. You don't let me hold you like a baby anymore, you are only happy if I am holding you facing out so that you can see everything. You are so curious already, and I love that about you. You are SO energetic, too. Daddy and I bought you a jumperoo a week ago and you love it! Your toes just barely reach the floor, but that doesn't stop you from happily bouncing and wiggling all over the place. You also love to explore in the walker nanna and grandpa bought you for Christmas. I can hardly believe that at 4 months old you are so active and strong!

I still love waking you up in the morning (when I get a chance to) and seeing you all cute and swaddled. You look like a glow worm because you get both of your hands out and only your lower body is swaddled. Sometimes we even go in there and you have flipped positions in your crib! I think you will be crawling in less than 2 months.

It goes without saying that everyone who sees you loves you: even strangers at the mall who laugh and say how cute you are in your baby sunglasses in the front-carrier on your daddy!

I can't wait to see how you are going to change in the next month, but if I can make one request: don't grow up too fast!

Love always,
Mom
