I’m a proud momma, so I have to share. Natalie achieved a couple of small milestones this week. She’s four months old. She is rolling over now, from her back to her belly. It only happens in her crib so we haven’t witnessed it in action, but it’s still exciting to go in and find her wiggling around on her belly, lifting her legs up high! She is such a wiggle worm.

Also, today she held her bottle for at least 38 seconds unassisted, maybe more. That’s not really a milestone you find in the baby books, but it makes me happy anyway. I love watching her grow and evolve.

She had her four month check up last week. In two months she gained 3.5 pounds and grew almost four inches. She grew so much they had to measure her twice just to be sure. She is now in the 95th percentile for height and the 75th for weight. Her head however, has remained comfortably in the 50th percentile.

The best part about this age is her emerging personality. She’s a wiggler and a giggler. I can already tell with her high energy level she’s going to keep us on our toes, but with her jovial attitude she’ll also keep us smiling. In many ways she is already embodying her middle name, JOY.
