It's a big day today; the new year started (year of the tiger), it's valentine's day and more important Caroline is four months old. Enough reasons to celebrate.
Over the last month she has changed a lot... for instance she laughs loudly and more often than before. She also became sensitive to tickles. She knows when it is bath time and so when she enters the bathroom she calms down right away and is waiting on her changing path with a big smile. Once she is in the water she starts to kick and let the water splash all over us.
Her hand-eye coordination are improving slowly, she does not grab things by accident anymore but can reach out for things and holds on to them. Since two weeks she plays with things and does that very often by herself for longer periods of time. One of her favorite toys are balloons. We tie a few balloons around something that she can shake and so she sees the balloons dancing a meter above her.
Every morning she wakes up very hapily and smile when she see you. Then she starts 'talking' to you... she has more and more sounds she knows so that it is lovely to listen to her. One day she even gave me a speech. In the evening she falls asleep by herself by sucking on her index finger. If there is a day where she is more grumpy she uses a pacifier. During the day she sleeps way less; she usually only takes 2 to 3 naps a day.
She loves listening to the guitar and turns her body towards sounds.
We are enjoying our happy and healthty baby.
Enjoy the year of the tiger!
Grandma is realy happy with her because when she goes out for a walk with her (when daddy is working) people tell her things like; she looks like a mixed baby or she is so cute or she is so pretty or she is so tall. Well I guess she is just different than most of the babies out there. And we are happy as long as Caroline is healthy and happy!
