Natalia has learned what the camera is. For the past couple of days whenever I try to take her picture this is what I get.

New Mobility

Natalia is a completely different baby than she was a month ago. She has learned to crawl and is so fast now. It took her about a week to get the hang of it. Now when I see that she is trying to get to Lola's dishes, I can barely catch her before she gets there. She will crawl over to our heater (it isn't too hot for her to touch) and try to use it to stand up. Last night she was standing up using the coffee table. We can't take our eyes off her for a second.

She finally figured out the bunny in her crib. She was supposed to be napping the other day when I heard the music that the bunny plays. I found her sitting up in her crib, pulling on the cord. She also looked so cute another day when she sat up still wrapped up in her blanket. She stayed bundled up as she played with her toys.

Talia is getting so good with her little fingers. She is starting to get better with finger foods. Most of the time she can pick up the snacks and get them in her mouth. Sometimes she will still pick up her snack and enclose it in her fist. She will then suck on a couple fingers and not open her hand and then her snack becomes soggy.

She is such a happy baby. You can't really tell in this picture, but her top two front teeth are starting to come in. She was a little fussy, but until they broke through her gums we had no idea they were coming in.

Talia is 4 months old!

Natalia is already 4 months old. It's so hard to believe. She had her 4 month check-up yesterday with Pat. She is now 24 1/2 inches, 14 lbs. 8 oz., and her head circumference is 16 1/4 inches. She did better with the shots this time than two months ago. I gave her some Tylenol before her shots and throughout the day which helped. Pat could tell that Talia was a smart baby, which we already knew, but it is still nice to hear. She told me that most babies just take cat naps and we are very lucky that Talia naps for an hour or two and sleeps through the night. She says that Talia is the baby that everyone wants. She also told me that babies develop stranger anxiety between 4-6 months so we'll have to see how that turns out. We are very happy that she is still a healthy little girl who is growing well.
