4 Months

Hailey has changed so much in the last couple of weeks. She loves sitting in the high chair when I'm in the kitchen or when we're eating dinner. Here is a picture of her hanging out while I was getting dinner ready tonight. Everything has started going in the mouth too. She's been drooling like crazy so we've gotten out the drool bibs. Her bottom gums are swollen too so I think maybe we'll see a tooth poke through soon. Chey got her first one at 4 months and Hailey is 4 months now, so we'll see. She loves to suck/chew on her thumb too. She's using her paci less and less because she likes her thumb, although she's still using it to sleep. She is rolling onto her back almost everytime I put her on her tummy. Several times now I've gone into get her from her nap and she's on her back just kicking and talking (she's a tummy sleeper). It's annoying when she does it in the middle of the night and I have to go flip her over. But she goes right back to sleep. Some days she sleeps great, other days she wakes every 30 minutes, usually the days I have to take Chey to school. That totally screws up Hailey's day because she misses her first nap and makes her overtired for a while until I can get her caught back up. Hailey is now staying up for about 2 hours at a time and absolutely LOVES her jumperoo. I can't thank John and Connie enough for it. The girl just bounces away and has the biggest smile on her face when she's in it. She loves to "talk" to you and has started laughing this week too. It warms my heart to hear her giggle when I play peek a boo with her. She's growing so fast. I almost want her to slow down but I'm also looking forward to the day that her and Cheyenne can play together and entertain each other and give mommy a break. :)
