happy 4 month birthday, little Lila Therese!

There are plenty of Christmas photos to catch up on, but before then there is this silly little four month old to say hello to!

::While you have let go of those little always-clenched-newborn fists, you've learned how to reach out and grab... your sisters' hair whenever they come too close!  Maria is old enough to know to stay still and gently unclench your fist.  Poor Camilly...she stands there and howls and eventually rips her hair loose if I don't rescue her fast enough!  (It's admittedly quite comical!  Especially because I didn't know what had happened the first time I found Camille screaming.  Then I found a fistful of her hair in your hand!)

::You even pull your own hair ...and cry about it!

::You're still as smiley as ever. :)

::You've reached that adorable baby fascination with your feet and hands.  It stinks to have to keep you bundled up all the time.  As often as I can, we hang out in your warm room and let you go to town sucking and pulling on your toes.

::Sleep is not your strong suit these days.  We're working our way through the current phase of frequent wakings that happen between midnight and 6a.m.

::You managed to roll over!  Once.  And now your just muscle-memory-milimeteres away from becoming a rolly-polly.

::I could eat you up I love you so!  ...Even more so than last month.
