A lot to celebrate....

On June 17th there was a lot to celebrate in our household; Brad's 32rd birthday, my parents 34th wedding anniversary, Father's day (Brad's first and my dad's 30th) and Joy turned 4 months.

What is Joy doing: Joy just figured out how to roll from her tummy to her back! She is also enjoying tummy time much more now that she has some more muscles in her neck to hold up her head. She is a very smiley baby.
** I decided to replace the "who does she look like" with "what Joy is doing" because now that she is getting older she is doing so many cute things and looking pretty much like herself :-) 

Look how high I can lift my head guys! 

Gearing up to roll over....

Eats: I finally got Joy to eat stretch her feeding to every 3 hours, which was a difficult feat! The girl loves to eat.

Sleeps: Jet lag has messed up Joy's sleeping a bit. After a week here in England Joy is sleeping for 7hour stretches, eating and then going back to sleep for 4 hours (she did that once last night, so hopefully again tonight). Naps are still short but she is going down without much fussing now that she has a friend.....THE PACI. 

Weighs: almost 14 lbs

Likes: Joy really likes this new brand of paci (MAM) and I am very thankful that a friend in Hong Kong recommended them. She also likes to take a bottle (Tommee Tippee brand). She is a social little butterfly and likes to be around people. She is getting better about the stroller too, which is nice because she is getting heavy to carry around. Although her favorite mode of transportation is still the Ergo (it is much nicer to

Dislikes: Joy does not like being alone. Joy dislikes getting out of a bath and pretty much screams until she is all dressed in her jammies.

Favorite event:  Going on the airplane for her first international flight to see Grammie and Grandpa Condie, Aunt Ruthie and Aunt Julie and Uncle Tyler.  She did great on the flight and didn't cry at all. Why would she cry; since she basically ate and was held the whole flight :-) The bassinet made a great diaper changing station and a place for all our baby accessories.
