A Little View of Heidi Sue: April 2015

Isabelle's 4th Month:1 March - 1 April

Recognizes both Mommy's AND Daddy's faces!
Regularly sleeps 6-8 hours a night!
Lots of "chatting" (oh's, ah's, coo's and squeals)
Still loves music! She loves dancing with us to music.
Practicing her random laughing at the beginning of the month.
Started to laugh/giggle intentionally toward the end of this month!
Loves watching the Cooking/Food Channel. She visibly gets excited (squeals and kicks legs), and watches it intently. She however, does not like E! News (one of Mommy's guilty pleasures).
Grabs at and puts things in mouth.
Rolling over from back to front AND front to back! She prefers sleeping on her stomach and will roll herself over after we set her down to sleep on her back.
LOVES when either Joe or I sing "The Little Mermaid" movie songs to her. "Part of Your World" is her favorite.

Practicing repeating "oh's" and "ah's"
Becoming more interested in objects like rattles and toys.

Isabelle is stubborn and feisty! She hates going down for naps during the day, even if she is exhausted. She seems to not want to miss out on anything!

Sits on elbows while on her tummy with her head up
Increased head/neck strength
Her favorite toy is her pink owl
Lots of smiles and ALMOST laughs
Sucks on fists
Lots of drooling!
