Hannah is 4 Months + July Fun

Hannah is now 4 months old and growing way too fast in my opinion! She is easy-going, very smiley, and all-around adorable.  She is rolling over both directions, has found her feet, and is very mouthy. Sophie the Giraffe is one of her new best buds :)  She weighed in at 14 lbs. 9 oz. and is about 24 inches long.

 

 Abby's favorite game at the moment is playing doctor. Last week, she tried to prep Hannah for her 4 month appointment by giving her a full examination, including a shot. She says, "Be brave, Hannah!"

 July Fun:

My friend had her interior design work featured in Dwell magazine and we got to see the space she designed at 1600 Vine in Hollywood. She did an incredible job and it was fun to see her work!

Fourth of July Fun: 

Our friends the McGees came over in the morning to explore the festivities at the park and we managed to wrestle the kids down for a few pictures. Abby loves her friend Declan! We also actually let both girls stay up to see the fireworks this year and they both loved them! Abby was a little apprehensive about the noise (of course we live right next to the park where they launch the fireworks), so we viewed them out our living room window. I was surprised Hannah wasn't bothered by the noise, but she just stared wide-eyed at the lights. 

 Buddies, Declan and Abby

Another major development this month has been Abby's move to the big girl bed. We tried in June but she got so upset the first night that she threw up everywhere, so we waited a few weeks before trying again. This time Abigail initiated it, so we ran with it and haven't used the crib since. Not that the transition has been easy... quite the opposite actually. (No surprise to us, really, considering Abigail's track record with anything sleep-related). Most nights it's taken her 2 hours to go to sleep (usually with David in the room with her). The last two nights we've tried to move to the doorway to keep her from trying to play with us, but that has led to her popping out of bed over and over again. After returning her to her bed 32 times, she tripped and hit her head on the wall, resulting in a huge egg. Poor thing! Hopefully it will get better soon! I think the count was about 20 times tonight. Moving in the right direction, at least. David has taken the brunt of this effort, so I have to give him major credit for fighting this major battle! Abby adores him... she's definitely a Daddy's girl and I'm so pleased that they have such a good relationship.

Lastly, a recent sewing project... I intended to make this before Hannah was born, but never got around to it. Now that she's in the mouthy stage, I finally got motivated to make this taggy blanket. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and Hannah seems to love it already!
