Robin: 4 Months

Robin's 4 Months Bullet Points:

(Because honestly who has time for paragraphs with a 3 yr old and a 4 month old??)

- You have the prettiest blue eyes, softest light brown hair, and the most kissable squish cheeks and full lips.

- You are a mover!! You kick kick kick and love to be held standing up so you can jump and wiggle all over. Your kicks are super strong too. You could be Chun-Li from Street fighter, "Want to see my Kung-Fu? ".

- You have the sweetest face and smile. I just can't get over your cute little round face. I kiss you every chance I get. And so does River. And so does Daddy. And so does Charlie.

-You are a shorty but full figured gal. It breaks my heart every time I have to switch to the next size in clothing. You literally skipped all my 3 month clothes.

- You are very inquisitive and love to hold on to toys, blankets, and anything you can get your little hands on. One of your favorite toys is your christmas Dollie from Nana and Poppa, which is totally appropriate because "every little girl needs a doll for Christmas". They've learned their lesson well :)

-You have learned to roll over. You surprised us and yourself the first time you did it. You have become quite efficient in your technique, but you don't really know what to do once your on your tummy, except cry. So now we are living in that "I roll over on to my tummy all the time, but i hate it, so i scream my head off until til my mom flips me back over and then I immediately do it again" phase. It's wonderful.

- Feeding you is a quite a wrestling match. You are so strong and want to use your hands, but it usually results in you pushing the bottle out of your mouth. But it's nice when you settle down and are satisfied with a firm grip on our hands and arms with both hands. You down 4 oz bottles and you're a bit sloppy about it. You don't really like binkis, but you chew on your right hand constantly.

- You are a bright eyed baby and you love your family. You have smiles ready for each of us when we make eye contact. I love to watch you as you gaze at River with love and astonishment. There's such a connection between you two. He adores you. He's good to you bitty, so be good to him too. Watching you two together makes this mama's heart happy.

- You are a bit of a mamas girl, I kind of love it because I love you!!

- You are a cuddler. You have to have blankets cuddled up around your face when you sleep in your bouncer and you snuggle right up to the sides of your bassinet to sleep at night. I am torn about what to do about bumpers in your crib.

- You are a typical girl with strong opinion and definite wants. You make your opinion known and articulate it clearly and loudly :) You also communicate just as clearly your contentment and pleasure.

I can't believe it's been 4 months. It seems so short, but in the same breath I feel like you've always been with us. You've changed so much and I am so proud of my little blue-eyed girl.

You are our treasure and we absolutely love you Robin!! You make us and our family feel whole.
