Four months!

Again, a quick post - what is Maya like at four months?



New skills:
- She can stand!  Well, she can bear her weight by locking her knees.  She just started doing this about a week ago, and it's her favorite trick.  She looks so proud of herself when she does it!
- She's a reaching machine.  She's pretty coordinated at it too, and she can hit and grasp most things at first try.
- Sitting skills (with a bit of support) are still awesome.  Rolling…not so much.
- So many more sounds!  And how loud!

Likes and dislikes:
- Loves nursing, bath time, pat-a-cake, putting everything in her mouth (see photo above where she's eating her Easter dress), being held at inconvenient (for her parents) times.
- Hates tummy time, sun in her eyes, being woken abruptly from naps, getting sweaty, evening bedtime.

Sleep schedule:
- Super hit or miss.  Last night, she went down at 8 and was only up twice, at 12:30 and 3:30 (=awesome!).  Other nights - it's a disaster.

Physical traits:
- Her eyes are still blue!
- A new observation: I think she got my curly, out of control hair.  Sorry, Maya :(

Growth:
- I updated her charts here.  Her weight gain has leveled off and she's no longer gaining a kilo per month.  Four month weight: 15lbs 10.5oz.

A few more photos from this weekend:

Abby's sense of aesthetics is remarkable :)

Maya's actually somewhat allergic to flowers, so we found out.

Birdwatching at Magee Marsh, a world-class site for migrating warblers!

Daddy drills her on her bird identification.
