21 Weeks - 4th Month

Eve is 4.5 months old. She's growing so quickly. The last few nights when I have gotten home she has fallen asleep within an hour and a half of me being there. I get sad that I only have that long with my baby girl in the evening. I do make the best of it though. I don't put her down. I rock her, I feed her, I bathe her and play with her and just listen to her talk to me. She is talking A LOT and blowing raspberries.

In the morning after I feed her I put her down in her crib and she just talks and sings to me the whole time I get ready. I have never heard a sweeter song in my life than her singing to me.

We put her in her exersaucer for the first time yesterday and she loved it. She loves the little iguana that lights up and sings. She really likes lights and singing. Anything repetitive she gets really excited and bops up and down and squeals in delight. The dogs don't really love the screeching haha.

We spent last weekend at my mom and dad's. We had a great time. My dad held her up and talked to her and made raspberry noises on her ribs and she just started belly laughing. She loved it. We got a great video of it and it was so precious that she did that for my dad. She loves her papa as much as I do. She loves grabbing his beard and Anthony's. She falls asleep with her little hands wrapped in my hair. It hurts but it's so sweet. I can no longer wear necklaces or earrings because she pulls at them!

We had her 4 month appointment and since she had been sick she had lost a little weight and was coming in at 12lbs 12oz. (35%) and measured 24.5 inches (60%) Her head circumference was (70%). We laughed and said she has a big brain and must be a genius :)

She loves to stand up on my legs and stare at me. She's also been doing this thing where she smiles at you and when you smile back she hides her face like she's being coy. She's just so sweet.

This time is so precious and it's going so fast. I want to enjoy every single moment of it.
