4 months already?

Really, could this be true??? I stop and think, yep I guess 4 months old has to be right, or at least according to her birth certificate. Feels like she's been with us always, yet didn't we just leave the hospital with our new bundle of joy?

Remember going to the pumpkin patch at 3 weeks old? Better yet, Matilda, do you remember nursing in the middle of the pumpkin patch, only in Oregon would that be ok? Going to your first Halloween party, which you slept the entire time and recently celebrating your first Christmas. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE slow down for awhile and let us take it all in and just be in the moment. I know before long you'll be running around and bugging your sister (I know secretly we all can't wait for the payback). You are almost rolling, so close and love trying to get your hold on all food items! My most favorite thing- no matter when or where, every time I say HI to you and smile, you ALWAYS smile back! I just know that your smiles will always be a huge part of who you are. HAPPY 4 month Birthday (a few days early on this post) Matilda Rose!
