4 months old!

Our princess turned four months old on Sept 18th! She's growing up so quickly!! At her 4 month appt, she weight 17 lbs, 13 oz and was 26 inches long. She's in the 95th percentile for height and "above the 97th percentile" in height.

On the 18th, she rolled over for the first time. Since then, she has rolled and rolled and rolled. Primarily, she rolls back to tummy, but she has rolled back a few times. She laughs a lot, smiles continually and squeals with happiness. People comment a lot that she smiles with her whole face.
Here is her starting a smile. Whole mouth and all. It ended with her eating the bunny. That's another favorite of hers, eating anything and everything that comes her way.
Anabelle uses her hands so well now. She holds objects, reaches for toys and loves holding her feet. This week, her feet became a new chew toy, too. Of course, she loves the Colts, too! She's a great little cheerleader.
The exersaucer is one of her favorites, as I'm sure most other four month olds would agree. One Saturday last month, Mike and I tackled the task of painting our garage-- walls and ceilings. It was a LONG day. Mike worked really hard while I balanced caring for her and helping him. You know the line, "You might be a redneck if..." Well, we think we might be rednecks because of the following picture:
It's our hillbilly tent protecting Anabelle from the sun, while she played in the driveway so we could paint. We just might be rednecks!

I totally know the feeling! But you have to find that balence. You can't stop caring for the little ones, but stuff still needs to get done. The other thing is, you would have died laughing if you saw DJ and Isaak in Wisconsin. There was one night where it was 14 degrees outside, but DJ really wanted grilled porkchops, so he and Isaak bundled up, headed out, and grilled porkchops in the snow. Needless to say, we were the talk of the neighborhood for quite a while!
