It has been for us, that's for certain! The past few weeks have been filled with all kinds of amazing developments---your smile has turned into a laugh, your hand movements have become coordinated and deliberate, and you can pull up (while holding someone else's hands) from a lying-to-sitting-to-standing position. In fact, "standing" is your favorite thing to do, so as soon as you hit the 16-week mark we installed the Johnny Jump Up in your doorway. You haven't quite figured out the jumping part yet, but you love to just stand there, swaying on your tiptoes in the enormous puddle of drool that collects on the floor below you.
By far our favorite thing these days is to listen to you talk. You can go on for twenty or thirty minutes at a time, and even though we can't understand a word of what you're saying, it's clear you're making conversation. We talk, and you talk back---or, talk over us, is more like it. Even at 6 am when we're trying to sleep and hoping you'll do the same, we can't help but laugh at your animated ramblings. You're obviously going to be an extrovert like your parents!
Tomorrow, we go to the pediatrician for your 4-month checkup. I can't wait to see how much you weigh---my money's on 15 pounds, but your dad thinks you'll be closer to 14. It's true that you've stalled out in your 6-9 month clothes, so maybe he's right. But wow...look at how much you HAVE grown...!

HAPPY FOURTH BIRTHDAY, SADIE!!
You've grown from an infant into
a miniature adult in four short months! You are so cute and so darn happy!! Celebrate and party like it's 1999! Love and hugs,
Dad and Ceil
Happy 4-month b-day, cuteness!
You'll be getting your driver's license before you know it!
Hahaha :)
Great pictures for comparison!!!
She has that kinda cuteness that makes you want to call her 'button' and pinch her chubby little cheeks. Four months, I believe, is a gateway. As great as it's been, it only gets better over the next few months.
