July Fun things

4 months already. We are amazed at the growth and learning that Maya does every day.  She is now 25” long (75th percentile) she weighs 15.5 lbs (90th percentile) and her head circumference is 41.2 cm (50th percentile).   She smiled at everyone in the office, and was an excellent patient, even with her shots. They said she is very healthy and is ready to start eating baby cereal (fun pictures to come, I'm sure).

Now she can:

• Hold her own bottle (whether she knows what she is doing or not, we aren't sure)
• She has started sleeping mostly through the night. Waking only to get her binky back in her mouth.
• She loves to be outside. Sometimes when she is a bit fussy it will calm her down to walk outside.
  
• She gets so excited that she kicks her legs and wiggles her arms while we are holding her, great soccer practice. :)
  
• She is a smiley girl, she loves to smile, and does most anytime anyone requests. Her smile is big and open, a whole face smile.
  
  
  She has developed a dimple on the left side of her face, just below her eye.
• She is especially ticklish on her collarbone, and almost everywhere else.
• When she laughs it seems to come down deep from her belly.
  
• We took her to the lake last week and placed her in a turtle floaty, this is when we realized that she likes movement, when a big wave would come to rock her, she would smile really big, and sometimes giggle.
  
• She is now trying to talk all the time, we took her to a movie and she tried to talk back at the screen especially during the exciting moments
