to my darling baby girl, Jovie
you are now 4 months old! it’s gone by way too fast … yet i feel like you’ve been around forever
a few weeks ago, you went to your first yum cha with everyone (your dad, jasper, aunty hayley, uncle gavin, uncle josh, grandma and grandpa). you were very well behaved and loved watching everything and everyone. it was good that you liked it so much, as no doubt this is something you’ll do for the rest of your life, as part of our family tradition 🙂
i do believe you’re getting cuter by the day! daddy and i don’t remember Jasper being THIS happy when he was 3-4 months old, you seem to excude happiness and love – you’re amazing to be around.
now that the weather is getting warmer, i’ve been able to dress you up a bit more. it’s so different from having your brother – where boys clothes are a bit standard, there is just so much girls clothes out there (yet strangely, we never seem to have enough so we buy more and more and more, lol). you had your first hair clip on the other week, and everyone thought you couldn’t get any cuter!
and those rolls! they’re on your legs, your back, your tummy and your arms – everywhere! i hope you don’t mind that we munch on them because they’re IRRESISTABLE.
your ‘core’ strength is getting better each day it seems —
i mean, i can’t even do a sit up and you’re doing THAT? woah.
sleepwise – you’re still an angel. down at 9.30pm after your last bottle, up at 6am for your first. even with your brother having sleep issues and running screaming into our room, you’re fine. we’re so lucky to have such a good sleeper and are enjoying it while it lasts..
this might of changed by the time you can read this, but you are totally in awe of your brother. if he’s around, you want to be front row, centre, watching everything he does. you like to try and do what he does – play with lego, play with the iPod (yes, i’m not kidding), look through books and catalogues with him. you don’t even mind when he tries to feed you, or pats you a little too hard. we can tell that you’re going to follow him around like a shadow as soon as you can.
there’s just something about you that makes my heart sing a million happy heartbeats, something about your beautiful face that makes me wonder how something so wonderful has landed in the palm of my hands
i’ll love you always, my daughter
love, your mama
edited to add – at your 4 month check up you are 7.6kg and 66cms long
no probs with the shots 🙂 just a little sleepier than usual afterwards ..
