Little Miss Hattie is 4 Months

Hattie was 4 months old yesterday and time is flying.  She's super smiley, loves loves loves her brothers and will follow their every move as much as possible, even if it means craning her neck around.  She also loves to follow Mommy around and I don't mind so much!  She delights us with her big cheeks as we kiss them and pinch them.  Hattie is very into touching and grabbing things and shoves them in her mouth.  She drools all over the place, is really good at holding her head up during tummy time and can sit unsupported for short periods of time.  Her hemangioma is still there, same size.  Her eyes are still very blue and if anything have lightened up.  Maybe she will have blue eyes like Jeff.  Chase, Owen and I voted for brown or hazel today.  When she wants to she can be very loud, making strange noises.  Hattie giggles and laughs now when tickled or she likes something you are doing (Jeff saying "poo poo" over and over).  She eats about every 3-3.5 hours. Sometimes more often at night.  On average she wakes 1 time a night ( boo).  She has slept through the night 5 times in her life.  She typically blows out of at least 1 outfit a day (sorry had to share, Hattie). She likes to be held upright and face out.  I can hold her up on my shoulder looking out, but she has to be able to see or she gets mad.  Hattie is very easy going and is very smiley.  She is an easy baby and we just LOVE her to pieces!

On Tuesday the 22nd we had her 4 month check up.  She's doing great and growing well.  She didn't like her shots at all and cried and cried.  I felt terrible.  Hattie weighed 16 lbs 4 oz (87%), was 25 inches (75%) and her head was 42.2 cm (90%).  
 Tonight we were all trying to get Hattie to smile, which ended up being too much for her, she just looked from person to person and it was hard to get a smile. 
 Finally a smile when we conned Chase and Owen into going upstairs. :)
 There she is!  This is what we get to see each time she looks at us and we smile.
 Proud brothers with new hair cuts.  They practiced holding her today and were so proud of themselves.
