4 Months

Today is Kate's 4 month birthday. What happened to my newborn baby? She is getting so big in every way. She is growing out of her diapers and her clothes. She loves to suck on her hands and play with her feet. She is learning how to make new sounds (she currently seems to be trying to figure out how to blow a raspberry). She is enjoying spending more time with her daddy while mom is in school. She has figured out how to get toys into her mouth. She is trying very hard to sit up, and is working on her sense of balance. She is working on her hand-eye coordination as she tries to grab things. She drools like it's nobody's business.

But more than all these little achievements, I am constantly in awe of her sweet little spirit. She really is a sweet little girl. She is so happy and spends a good deal of her time smiling and cooing at me. When she wakes up in the morning and sees me, she has a huge smile on her face, and seems to just be in love with the fact that it is a new day. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with the opportunity to be a mother to the most precious little girl. I love every day and every moment I spend with her.
