Haircut

Angie and I cut our hair over Christmas.  Here are the before and after pictures:
Before

After

4 months


I still can't believe that my little baby is 4 months old.  It doesn't seem like that much time has passed since she was born.  It's even crazier to think that exactly one year prior to her 4 month birthday was when I found out that I was pregnant.  Alot has changed in the last year, that is for sure!

Anyway, here is the 4 month update on our Makaila Bean:
  • Loves to stand and jump, regardless of whether she is in her jumper or in your arms!
  • Has conversations with anyone who will listen all day long
  • Takes her longest naps in the morning and takes her time waking up
  • Loves to smile for mom and laugh for dad
  • Is super drooly
  • Is starting to teethe, which makes it hard for her to sleep sometimes
  • Loves stuffed animals.  All stuffed animals.  She sees a stuffed animal and wants to give it kisses and chew on it (will even try this with Jack's toys)
  • Also loves to look at books
  • Has figured out how to turn around in her play station and has figured out how to play with all the different parts
  • Gets scared and cries if the adults are too rowdy or loud (especially when playing games
  • Has started falling asleep on her own at bedtime, sometimes in the swing and sometimes in the crib but always without being bounced by mom or dad
  • Enjoys inspecting her hands and fingers and grabbing her toes.  She has just started to chew on her toes too
  • Also likes to hold and inspect other people's hands and fingers
  • Loves polka dots
  • Is in the chewy phase...everything goes in the mouth these days
  • Has rolled from her back to her front once now
  • Is fascinated with Jack and Tigger.  She gets so excited when they come close and she leans way in to try to rub their fur or go nose to nose with them
  • Loves music.  She likes to watch me play the piano and will hit the keys with me
That's all I can think of at the moment.  Makaila has quite the little personality and is such a sweetheart.  Sometimes she is particular and stubborn (big surprise there!) but mostly she is very sweet and happy.  We love our little Bean!
