4 months old!

Zaia Bee is 4 months old and she’s such a little person!

and yea yea, I know. I suck at this mama blogging thing. The community of mama bloggers would never accept me. Funny from someone who used to blog multiple times a day years ago! oh well.

I can promise to try to be better. uh huh.

anyway, way more interesting than my excuses and apologies. The baby herself! She’s just home (napping) from her 4 month checkup. She’s 26 1/4 inches tall (96th percentile!) and 14 lbs 8 oz (65th percentile!). A normal weight and TALL baby!

She’s really wishing she could walk. One of her favorite things is to stand (assisted) and move her feet forward. She also does a lovely swimming motion during tummy time, that I think is a precursor to crawling. She can push off on my hand if it’s at her feet in this position. She also does marvelous crunches and seems to have abs of steel. She can’t wait to sit up!

She spends lots of time yelling (happily), talking, grunting, groaning and moaning in hilarious manner ,and smiling. She is still not predictable as to when she will laugh,  but the laughs are coming more and more often. She loves Itsy Bitsy Spider and If You’re Happy And You Know It.

I’m taking her to her first Gymboree class on thursday because she just seems really ready to watch other babies, learn more songs, and take part in social stuff.

She’s gone to the mountains on a ski trip with other kids (and whenever I want to assuage my fears that she’s growing too fast, I can look at the photos and see her tiny self next to the big kids and feel better!), visited carmel again, and hung out at Tumble & Tea (a coffee/lunch place with a huge play room for kids .. including story times and puppet times, etc)

Her personality is blossoming every day and it’s a good natured, silly, goofy little girl that she’s becoming. I think she knows she’s funny.. as evidenced by the sly little half-smile she often does.

now for some photos:
