4 months old

Little Miss Caitlin is (over) 4 months old now! She gets more and more fun everyday. I love waking up to a new adventure every morning. I love that she is getting older and progressing, but it also makes me sad to see my little baby growing up so fast.

Here are a few things I want to remember about her:
-She still has a really happy disposition. She smiles all the time, and it usually doesn't take too much coaxing for anyone to get a smile out of her. She is really such a sweet baby.
-She has become quite a temperamental napper! She will sleep for an hour (at the most) and think she's done. Sometimes she really is but usually i can get her to go back to sleep.. as long as i'm holding her. I swear she has an internal sensor that tells her when she's been set down. She'll wake up right away. I've gotten really good at doing things one-handed.
-She loves watching football with daddy, her eyes are completely glued to the tv. Sometimes he will kinda watch the tv if something else is on, but if it's football there's no tearing her away. Which Paul loves of course. We'll see how basketball season goes.
-She is rolling over here and there. She usually won't do a full roll but wheneer shes on the ground she rolls way over on both sides. However she did roll over just for daddy on Jan. 1st and he was so excited to get to see her.
 -She also scoots. She kinda arches her back and kicks her legs and i don't really know how she works it but she moves. I'll put her down and next thing i know she's 2 feet away from where i put her. 
-She was sleeping completely through the night until we went on vacation, i'm hoping she picks it back up soon! She goes to bed between 8-9PM
-She likes being held looking out and loves watching everything around her. Although she will be held the other way too, as long as she can look over your shoulder.
-She loves to “fly” on her tummy. Either holding her up, or we lay on our back and put her up on our feet. She squeals and smiles the whole time.
-She eats about 7 ounces, every 4-5 hours.She's a little peanut though, she is way below average for weight so she's pretty tiny still.. gotta get some meat on her bones. I just love her little body though. She's a petite little lady.
-She is really drooley and still spits up a fair amount. Kinda gross i know. She still loves munching on her hands and she sucks on her tongue and looks like she's eating something.
-She's starting to play more with her toys and on her own, but only if i'm not there to entertain her. As soon as she sees me she acts like she wasn't doing anything.
So there's everything you could ever want to know! She's such a doll!
