4 Months Old

Well, there are cuter pictures of Kennady but they are in digital picture limbo land. There is a great story to go with this picture. Kennady is starting to use her hands these days. Mostly she likes to lick them and suck on them. But she also uses them to get toys to her mouth so she can lick and suck on those. Today she figured out how to make her toy make noise. And she made it make noise over and over again. That was one thing I was not looking forward to. But here's the story of the picture.

In the mornings after Kennady eats (somewhere between 5 and 7 am) she usually gets to snuggle with Dad in our bed so we can all get a little more sleep. Normally she falls asleep really quickly, but this particular morning she was a little fussy. We've found that if we put our hand on her face she grabs onto it and settles down. The problem with this is that she grabs on with a death grip and nearly draws blood with her little nails, and then when she does fall asleep you risk waking her up when you move your hand. So I thought of giving her Ookie- go ahead Google it.
Grandma Nelson sent us this little doll, and despite it's almost creepy facelessness, it's cute and snuggable. Kennady latched onto this doll, and immediately fell asleep. Now we take it with us and it sits with her in her car seat. Yay for simple things that make baby happy! I can't believe she is 4 months old already.
