Harper Grace: 4 Months Old

I love this age.  Harper is starting to find her personality and is becoming so responsive.  She is so much fun.  We love watching her grow up with her big sister!

• Harper is now wearing 3-6 month and 6 month clothing.  She can squeeze into some of her 3 month clothes, but they are a tad short.  We've retired all of her 0-3 month clothes into the garage sale tub.
• Her hair continues to grow on top and in the back, but has been rubbed off on the sides.  She has the best hair right now.  She has a pretty sweet poofy comb-over.  I could put it in a cute little Bam-Bam pony on top, but I've become a little obsessed with making her cute headbands.  It has also lightened up some, but is still brown.
• Her eyelashes continue to grow and are light brown.  They are super long at the edge of her eye. 
• She has blond eyebrows.
• Her eyes are blue.  I think they will be darker blue than Riley's, but they are definitely blue.
• She loves to suck on her hands.  Usually she will get her thumb, but sometimes she'll get 2-3 fingers.  We are constantly giving her paci to her instead.  I'm afraid to have to break her of thumb sucking.
• She is drinking 4 1/2 ounce bottles of pumped milk about every 3 hours during the day. 
• She likes to go to bed around 6:30, but we keep her awake until 7-7:30.  If we keep her up she'll sleep until 4-5am.  She is still able to soothe herself to sleep which is awesome.
• We haven't figured out a good nap schedule for her yet, but she seems to take a couple longer naps during the day.
• She LOVES her big sister.  I was recording Riley singing some songs over the weekend and throughout the whole thing you can hear Harper squealing to the songs.
• She is a great sitter (with support).  She loves to be sitting up and knowing what's going on around her.  She loves her bumbo, her Boppy Bouncer, and to be held.  If she feels like she's not getting enough attention or you've left the room she will whine until you come and pick her up.
• She still likes to be held in the sleepy wrap.
• She loves to stand up.  Her legs are starting to get stronger.  She will stick them straight out anytime she is upright.
• She is ticklish and has the cutest laugh.  She will laugh and laugh.
• She still loves her baths.
• She is starting to enjoy toys.  Her favorite is a butterfly teether.  She's getting really good with using her hands.  She also like to grab rings and put them in her mouth.
