When did this happen?

So yesterday as Idella was laying down for a 'nap' I thought she was being a great kid and actually sleeping.... Then over the sound of her lion mobile (that I thought had lulled her to sleep) all I can hear is her blowing raspberries. When I go in to investigate she has rolled over onto her stomach (first time this has happened on her own) and there is spit everywhere from her blowing raspberries (also a new thing). When I roll her back over she starts freaking out squawking and talking to me and then rolls herself back over. So much for thinking it was a fluke thing.

Lately she has also started reaching out when she sees me or her dad. It's worth going running every night (even as cold as it is lately) just so I can come home and see her get excited and start smiling at me. She also has started trying to pull herself up to sitting by grabbing her pant legs. One of her favorite things is grabbing our fingers and pulling herself up to sitting or standing. She gets the cutest proud look on her face; similar to this picture. This was the first time she was in her high chair at the office. We were testing it out, she loved it because she was sitting up so high and could be right next to me while I am doing cash-ups.


Since it's almost Halloween I can't help but post the picture of her with her pumpkin hat. Gram W. was holding her in the kitchen and she was peeking over her shoulder, this is one of my favorite pictures of her.

She is getting so big and changing so much everyday. She is going to be 4 months old this weekend. We go to the doctors for more vaccines and a check-up next week. I'm sure we'll start with cereal and/or other solids soon, what a fun mess that will be...
