4 Months

Alisha says: In this last month Jade has started doing a lot of new things. She started being able to wiggle herself around into different positions. I would lay her down in bed and when I would check on her she would be totally sideways. I also started to not swaddle her arms in when putting her to bed. She has never really liked being swaddled really tight and would always grunt and wiggle until she worked them out anyways so now I just leave them both out and she seems to like it. She rolled over for the first time on May 11th. She became quite good quickly rolling onto her stomach when I laid her down and then quickly becoming fussy because she was stuck on her stomach but she finally made it from her stomach to her back on her own again on May 28th. She has had great head control from when she was born and she continues to get stronger and stronger. Her legs are really strong and she can basically stand by herself if you just hold her hands to help her balance. She loves to be held and carried facing forward so that she can see what is going on. She still wakes up two times a night for a little snack but in general is a really sweet baby. She gives big smiles and is starting to laugh a little and even blows little spit bubbles.
