Another month and Natalie has definitely surpassed the exciting milestone of being home more than she was in the hospital. Talk about a cause for celebration! (Totally missed the actual day and didn't celebrate at all - but we *should* have!)
I love these three kiddos so much! Even if it's hard to get a genuine smile out of all of them at once. Close enough!
Natalie and I actually started the photo shoot without the boys. She was all wide awake and happy, but they were both taking a much needed nap. So we did her alone photos first! Doesn't she look excited to be 4 months old?!?
I was trying to help her sit up and got this adorable little slouch out of her instead. And you can tell that this little lady has found her hands! She loves holding her hands and trying to stick them in her mouth. All great signs of normal baby development! :)
She did a much better job sitting up in the corner than with her pillow, so we ditched the pillow for the rest of the photos. I tried to prop the number card next to her, but she grabbed it and started waving it around. She loves moving her limbs whenever possible. (I can attest to her doing that back when she was growing inside of me...!)
I left her BAHA off to get a few photos without it, but didn't want to totally leave it off. Before I took this photo, I slid it on and turned it on - which causes it to *ding* a few times to confirm it is on. You can tell that she paused in her arm waving and listened to the sound. So awesome to get confirmation that she is actually hearing with it and it's making a difference. :)
My adorable little four month old with her nicely accessorized BAHA. So stinking cute!
But back to the three of them! The boys were both very insistent they get a turn holding their baby sister. She looks mezmerized by Thomas in this one, doesn't she?
Not sure what she is doing here, but Henry looks like she has just told him the funniest joke. I bet she hit him - he would find that funny. ;)
And he was super excited about her clothes - he made sure that I noticed she had unicorn feet. Of course she does, why do you think I bought this awesome outfit?? Unicorns make everything better - even baby clothes. :)
But the best part of this month? We got to drop a monitor! She didn't have any events on her apnea monitor all month and we got to return it! We still have to use the O2 monitor when she sleeps (it's mostly useless when she's awake), but that means for a good chunk of the day we have a cordless baby!
So exciting!!!
