Lily is now 4 1/2 months old. I'm constantly amazed and surprised by how fast she changes and grows. Her new favorite thing is to stand while being held. She looks a bit like a hula dancer when she's standing but she loves it! She's able to sit on her own when she's propped up on against a pillow and she's close to being able to roll over from front to back. She's obsessed with sucking on her toes (or her shoes if she happens to be wearing them) and she loves chewing on whatever she can get into her mouth. She drools a ton and likely is teething (but since you don't actually know until they sprout teeth, it's hard to know if that's what is happening). She on a more regular schedule for sleeping and naps but she isn't consistent on how long she sleeps. She got her first cold this week and has been a bit miserable, especially at nighttime. She babbles on constantly and loves to make new noises and sounds. She laughs on occasion but you have to work hard to get those giggles out. However, it is one of the sweetest sounds I have ever hard and it's worth the effort! She's still super small for her age, especially when you factor in her height and this is a constant source of worry for me. Motherhood has felt fairly challenging this week, especially when she wakes up every hour in the night but we are making it through, one day at a time.
