Bella has found her voice...TOO CUTE!!!

Here are 2 videos of Bella jabbering!! They are super sweet and cute!! :)

Bella Stats

Bella is 4 months old now and  is growing up fast.....she amazes us each day with new things she has learned.
Some new things she is doing: Smiles when you talk to her, rolls over back to belly, holds onto toys, sits up with support, eating rice/oatmeal cereal, found her voice...jabbers all the time, enjoys jabbering to family/friends on the phone,  "sings" to music, loves looking around, sleeping about 10-11 hours a night...YaY!!
 Bella had her 4 month checkup and she is doing great developmentally (stated by the doctor), she weighs 12.3 lbs (20%...a little below) and height 24.3 in (49%). She got her 3 shots again and did not do as well this time, she screamed when the nurse gave her the shots and the next day she ran a fever and I had to pick her up from daycare early. She slept most the day/evening and spiked again around bedtime. However she is doing just fine today (2 days after her shots).

I can Roll Over Now!!

Bella is learning many new things lately...she learned to roll herself over from back to belly. We put her to bed one evening (on her back) and when we went to check on her she had rolled herself onto her side. The next evening we put her on the floor and over she went. She was 15 weeks and 3 days old!! She is 4 months old now and is getting faster at rolling over...it is so cute to watch her kick her legs up and over she goes :)  She is growing up so fast!
Rolling over
Hi Mom and Dad....this is fun stuff ;)
Getting faster at it and rolls over with her hands in her mouth (she is starting to teethe too)
Look at her form...so smart
Now that she can do it, she rolls over as soon as you put her on the floor
So talented....roll and "chew" on her hands
And on her belly
SUCH A DARLING LITTLE GIRL....LOVE HER!!
