Hi Guys! It is me, Layla, and I am 4 Months Old!!!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that today is my BIG four month birthday. I wanted to tell you all how I am doing these days.

Last time I was weighed I was 13 pounds and I am in size 3 month clothes and size 1/2 diapers now. Thank goodness the weather changed, otherwise my mom may have had me in my 0-3 clothes for way too long. She is still having a hard time moving me up sizes in diapers and clothes. If you see me with too small clothes on, you know who to talk to!

I am becoming a busier girl and I am letting mommy and daddy know when I like something

Smiles, laughs, coos
and when I don't...crying!

I like to put my hand in my mouth and I have been drooling a lot.

I have rolled over about a half dozen times, but it really just depends on how I'm feeling about tummy time on that particular (big word for a 4 month old, huh?) day. My neck and head are becoming much more stable. BUT the instructor at swim class likes to call me "no neck" so I've been working really hard on my tummy time so I can lose that nickname fast. Look at my neck control below!


I am starting to use my hands and I like to pull things to my mouth.
I also like it when mommy and daddy read books to me and I get to look at the pictures. I also am just starting to try out some bigger toys like the exersaucer and my cousin Shea's jump-a-roo. I like being in them for a couple of minutes, but I think I may be a little on the short side because people stuff books underneath me so my feet can touch the ground.I think I am ready for my crib! I am getting tired of the swing and just between you and me, I think I am getting a little big for it (Shhh! Don't tell my mom...she doesn't even like switching my diapers and clothes!). Below is a picture of me LOVING being able to stretch out while I sleep.

Oh! My eyes turned brown last week and mom and dad keep singing this song about brown eyes over and over again now :-) I hope you liked my update and I'm sure you will be hearing from us soon!

Very cute photos. I love Layla's facial expression in the exersaucer. They grow so fast...sorry Kristin! Maybe it will get easier over time...
