She's Four!

My little baby girl will be four-months-old on Sunday. I can't believe it! She seems like she should be so much younger at the same time like she's always been apart of our family. Funny how that works!

I've been uploading videos to our Youtube channel that you can find here: DanielandKirsti Youtube Channel

There are some videos of Faith rolling over, buzzing her lips (my favorite trick!), and just being so darn cute. It makes me sad that she has to be connected with so many family members through the Internet but it just makes me that more appreciative of technology. Without it, so many people wouldn't know her as well as they do!

In other news, I thought I'd look back on the milestones that Faith has reached in honor of her fourth birthday.
She can successfully roll over both ways in any direction.
She can scoot herself on her belly using her right leg, which she usually gets a lot of practice while she's wearing herself down in her crib!
She can sleep from the time we put her down (hopefully before seven) until 5AM for a bottle, then goes right back to sleep without assistance for another two or more hours.
She can sit up without help from pillows and hold her balance while she leans forward on one arm (called a tripod sit).
She's also very good at grabbing objects and bringing them to her mouth.
She can buzz her lips, which is endlessly amusing because sometimes she gets tongue-tied and has to restart.
And finally, as we find out during bath, she's able to bring a normal cup to her mouth and tip it. Though she won't drink what's in it!

Goals for next month:
Continue teaching her the signs for: MILK, MOM, DAD
Survive a 25-hour drive to Sanibel Island, FL, with my family
Survive a 7-hour plan trip from FL - MO
Visit the beach for the first time
Visit a pool for the first time
Scoot more efficiently
Sit for longer periods of time


Love,
Kirsti
