Four Months!

Another month has FLOWN by! Mary Alice is learning so much. It's amazing to watch her reach little milestones. Here are a few pictures that we have snapped recently.
She LOVES sitting up!! It MUST be at least straight up at a 90 degree angle, or leaning over. If she is tilted back even a little she bends her head forward, curves her back and tries to sit up more. It's adorable! Her sleep schedule is always evolving. This is her hanging out with Daddy, all ready for bed! She is doing a great job at taking longer naps, which is so nice for Mommy!
She loves to read books!
She found her thumb last week and could not get enough!! I thought for sure she was going to be non-stop with that thumb...
but it turns out any finger (or all of them) will still do the trick!
She loves to chew on anything within reach!
Something interesting that we noticed this week is that she reaches, grabs and holds things mostly with her left hand. Now I'm not saying that this means she will be a lefty, but it will definitely be fun to see if she really is! Time will tell.
Other things:
Saturday, she rolled from her tummy to her back!
Weighs 15.3 pounds!
Is becoming very curious about this food stuff we're eating!
Loves screens! (I'm not proud of this and I'm trying to keep her away from them but this girl can find a screen in a room no matter where it's hiding! You should see her crane her neck to see what's on the screen!)
She loves looking and giggling at herself in the mirror!
Still loves to be swaddled, cuddled and rocked!
She is sleeping in her very own room for the first time tonight! Wish us luck!
