The Hunt Family: 4 Months

Last weekend our little MaeMae turned 4 months old! She is such a joy in our lives. She's very even-tempered, no extreme highs or lows. (Though if she's tired, she's not afraid to belt out a few good cries). She's grown quite fond her fingers, shoving as many in her mouth as possible at a time, but her favorite is her thumb. She also has grown a big attachment to Sophie the Giraffe. I'm not sure if that means she's starting to teeth or not - so far nothing poking out of her gums. She loves to be held and just sit back and watch - usually big sister's antics.

Malin is Avery's biggest fan, she thinks Avery is hilarious! It's so cute, when Avery laughs at her, Malin laughs right back. (Avery occasionally proclaims that Malin is her best friend - so sweet!) She's trying to keep up with her chatty sister too, she's been "talking" to us alot lately. When she really gets going we know she's about to get upset. She's suddenly gorwn a big attachment to Mommy and is starting to show stranger anxiety. Just in the last week she won't let anyone other than her core 3 caretakers hold her.

She's a good little eater, but her 4 month check-up stats put her right where Avery was. Malin comes in at 14lbs and 26" long. She has the cutest rolly thighs that I can't get enough of.

Malin has also become quite the kisser. Though I think she'd rather eat your face than kiss it. It's pretty cute and Avery gets a big kick out of it. Malin is such a sweet, easy-going, beautiful baby girl and our family is now complete with her in it.

Meanwhile, big sister Avery has become quite the little lady. She's been such a big helper, helping out with baby and putting things away. She loves to help fold laundry and she folds burp rags better than I do! She likes to ask us about our day now and tells us all kinds of tales about her day. (Most are tall tales). Her stories crack me up, because just about ever 4th word is like. My little Valley Girl. She's obsessed with "Big Monsters," running from them, talking about them, and acting like them. She's also very into the Princesses - her favorite being Cinderella, and loves to dress up and dance like a princess. She has energy to spare, and keeps us on our toes going from extreme highs to extreme lows in the blink of an eye. Her huge heart continues to amaze me, she truly cares about her loved ones and cuddles and helps out to make sure they are always ok.
