Saturday June 23, 2012 - 17 Weeks, 4 Month's Old!!

Happy 4 month Tatum!!! I cannot believe she is 4 month's already. Time is truly flying. Right now we take her to Musicology classes twice a week, swim lessons once a week and story time at the library once a week. She loves all her activities and she is really learning a lot! She is really doing so well developmentally. This week she is pushing herself up on her hands/arms when she's on her tummy really well! She also is trying to flip over. She is really working on it when she lays on her back. She has come so close the past couple of days and I know she will do it soon. I think she will in the next week.

Tatum is really working on talking. It's so cute! She studies my mouth when I talk to her and I can tell she is really trying to see what I am doing when I talk to her. It sounds like she says, "Hi" and "I love you" when I say it to her. She is amazing! She smiles, laughs and coos a lot now. She still loves to play on her mat and we bought a foam alphabet/number mat to put in the family room on the tile so that she can be out in the family room with us and interact with us. I'm sure that is where she will roll over the first time! We are having so much fun with Tatum. I am really trying to enjoy every minute with her because I know she will grow up so fast. It makes me really sad to think about it. I hope I can hold onto her as long as possible…as long as she will let me. I tell her every night before she goes to bed how much I love her, care for me and that she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. She is my heart, my soul, my love, and my life. I am so blessed to have this precious, beautiful, amazing miracle in my life. I still don't know what I did to deserve her. She is just so, so wonderful!
