Melody @ 4 months

Melody is such a sweetheart. She loves to be talked to. When she is getting attention she will laugh, coo, and blow at you. She especially loves to have someone cluck like a chicken at her. When she isn't getting attention, she loves to look at patterns and things that move. She likes to watch our baby chick and ducks. But let me tell you, she can scream when she thinks she is being neglected.

Melody has gotten good at holding her head up. She isn't crazy about being on her tummy for long periods, but if I put a fun blanket under her she will be happy to look at it for a few moments.
She has also started to use her hands more. She tries to grab anything in reach then put it in her month. She doesn't have the best aim yet, so it takes her a few times to find her mouth. She loves to be carried looking over my shoulder, and she will grab my hair and pull on it. I have started putting her on a mat gym. She likes to try to grab the toys hanging down, but when they don't do what she wants, she gets very mad.

She got to take her first trip to the zoo this month. The whole family had lots of fun. Melody loved being carried around and seeing all of the new sites.

She weighs 13 lbs.
