.:Remi - Four Months:.

Our little Remi cake is four months old today. I just can hardly believe that another month has passed with our sweet girl! Remi is just growing and learning so much! She is such a sweet little baby, and I'm loving each new phase with her.

While we were in Oregon, she developed this really high pitched squeal that she would do constantly while she was awake. She hasn't done it much since we've been home, though - I think she was doing it to be heard over all of the other kids while we were there! She loves cooing and gurgling at anyone who will listen. She really loves to lock eyes with you and just smile the day away. Remi is not much of a laugher; she just smiles super big when she is excited! She has returned to her happy, content self, and I love that she is able to entertain herself a bit while I do things with Reece or get ready or whatever.

Remi is still not the best napper. She's starting to have more days where she takes good naps, but we're definitely not consistent yet. We're working on the sleeping through the nite thing as well. She's old enough, and certainly big enough to not need that feeding!

Remi has really started noticing her hands lately. She loves to stare at her bracelets, and is starting to get some control over grabbing things. It is really cute to watch her discover this new skill.

Remi hasn't done a ton of rolling from her tummy to back since she first did it a ton that first week, but it has been happening a bit more lately. She has also rolling on to her side a lot, and on Sunday she rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time! It took her awhile to get all the way over, but she stuck with it. She was rolling fool the rest of the day! She does a great job with her head control, and likes to be carried up by my shoulder. She is also great at sitting in her Bumbo chair. It's fun to give her a whole new perspective on life!

She still adores Reece and watching Reece, and Reece has become so sweet with her lately. Reece is always giving her loves and kisses - melts my heart!

At four months Remi likes:

- watching Reece
- smiling
- being held
- cooing/talking/gurgling
- squealing
- sucking on her hands
- nursing
- baths
- binky
- grabbing things
- being sung to
- attention!

At four months Remi does not like:

- getting in her car seat
- being hungry
- being cold
- taking naps (grrr!)

Some fun facts about Remi:

- Remi and Reece are wearing the same size of diapers now!
- Remi can't get enough of sucking on her hands; whenever I'm feeding her, they always seem to creep in there and get in the way. It's like she can't help herself!
- Remi is on a mission to soil every piece of clothing she owns. This girl has more blowouts than I've ever heard of!
- She has the most delicious thighs I've ever seen!
- Remi is pretty much smiling all the time but I struggle to get pictures because she freezes up whenever she sees the camera!
- Remi has the most clammy hands and feet ever!

We just can't imagine our lives without our little Rem Rem!

Congrats to the little lady on rolling over! I can't believe she is 4 months, because that means it is time for me to have my baby! I love that the girls are in the same size diaper, that is hilarious!
