4 months (almost 2 months late)

4 month photo shoot

This month Isla deciced that lean was not for her. She's still long but ditched the lean part. She is becoming a great sitter. She's been able to sit folded over for awhile but is now starting to sit up straight (albeit while very wobbly). She is still sleeping through the night and has been tinkering with a morning nap. Every few days I can lay her down and she'll sleep between 1 hour and 2 1/2 hours. Real naps are bliss. She is still such a happy and smiley baby and loves to smile a anyone who will give her attention. She loves her hands right now and loves to explore everything with them. She really is just the cutest thing!

and just some more cute pictures from the month :)

baby shower

My mom and sisters threw me the best baby shower......and bonus.....I got to share it with my sister Summer who was about 11 weeks behind me!

It was so fun to see friends and family I hadn't seen in awhile. Showers are always a great time to catch up.

Thank you to my mom and sisters for the shower.

3 months

Someone is 3 months old

her 3 month photo

and the rest of the shoot

Isla is becoming such a big girl. She smiles and laughs and talks all the time. The other night we were at Elliot and Katie's house watching a movie and Isla decided that she needed to tell everyone a story pretty much through the whole movie.

She is definitely getting chunkier. I don't have the stats....but her thighs are filling in. She is already in the 3-6 month clothes. It took her forever to get to the 0-3 clothes so I wasn't expecting her to move up so quickly.

She is not rolling over yet but is getting really close (I think I need to increase her tummy time). She is sort of starting to grab for things and she is swatting at the mobile on her bouncer. I'm not sure if it is intentional or if she is just moving her hands.

She is in love with her hands.....especially when she maneuvers them into her mouth and can suck on them. Really she's happy when anything is in her mouth. I fear we're going to have a binky issue in a few months.

She is still such a sweet little girl. But has her moments too! We are not on a set schedule yet and daytime naps have not really materialized yet. She would still much prefer to sleep in my arms than on her own. I am trying to be diligent in at least trying to lay her down to take her naps.

She loves her dad. I'm pretty sure her favorite part of the day is when her dad comes home from work....well that and every time she gets to eat :)

Other photos to sum up the last month (I really need to be better at posting the details of our life)
