16 and 17 weeks old

I can't believe she's almost 4 months old!!! Don't you think I'm cute?

I think my brother is pretty cute too! :) HeeHee! That's Nathan at the same age in the 1st photo... a whole 3 pounds heavier and a half inch longer...with the same sweet smile and bright eyes. Oh how the time flies!
Taylor Grace is a happpppppppppy baby! Bless her heart she's had tummy issues for so long, and an on and off fever for almost a month, yet 95% of the time she is smiling, laughing, talking, snuggling, or sleeping. She laughs very easily with people she knows well and still will not smile at a stranger until she's studied them awhile. She has the most adorable pouty lip and she knows when to use it! :) When you get her cackling she gets tears in her eyes from laughing so hard!

She loves the water and loves to turn her head to the side in the water and ends up with a mouthful. Silly girl!
She can support her own weight when standing quite well and for long periods of time. She loves to stand!
This baby girl loves tummy time and gets lots of it. She rolls over with ease so we often play the game, "keep Taylor on her belly." She's pretty adorable and she wears some pretty cute diapers too. Don't you agree?

I love that she is talking to the sheep in this pic. She talks to many of her toys and carries on intense conversations with them. It's hysterical! I have a feeling we've got another chatterbox on our hands!
This picture cracks me up!

Look at those eyelashes!

Smiley baby girl!!! At 12 pounds 2 ounces, she's a petite little smiley baby! She's still rocking 0-3 month clothes although a few one piece 3-6 things fit. She's got tiny little feet too! I can't wait to see what her percentages are at her 4 month appt.

In the pic below, I stood her up in her crib and put her arms over the rail so she would have plenty of support and help with balance. I squatted down below the front of her crib and played peek a boo with her. She thought this was a great game! I snapped a few pictures before I realized her name was in the background. :)
She's gaining more and more motor control by the day! She can reach for objects, grasp them, and pull them to her mouth; she can somehow pivot herself around almost 360 degrees when on her back (although I have no clue how); With support via hands on her hips or in the bumbo, or with a boppy behind her, she sits quite well. This week, I tested the waters a bit on her sitting skills... I sat her up in a sitting position with her hands out in front for support. She held herself up well (which I expected) but also was able to balance herself (keep from falling side to side) for a while too! Way to go Taylor! She's also figuring out how to roll from her back to her tummy. She does lots of baby crunches too, wanting so badly to sit up instead of lay on her back.

Have a great week everyone!!!
