Baby Pie!

A few milestones to talk about, even though you are not quite yet four months old! Your fine motor skills are ever evolving, and it is amazing to Gma how you can bring your little hands together now and pull things toward you! Gma got you some new books. One is about food and has little lift up flaps to see the food in a different form. You bring your little hands together and try very hard to touch the pictures and lift the flaps-you even lifted one this week! Gma was VERY impressed! You love the outdoors and would spend as much time as you could out there. You love bath time and love to kick your legs and move your arms! You don't really like laying down so much anymore. You like to sit up like a big girl and be a part of the socializing. Here is Gma's favorite thing, though: when you smile, it's not just the corners of your mouth that turn up. When you smile, your whole face lights up like a sunbeam. Your mouth opens wide and your eyes shine, the dimples in your cheeks show and it is such a beautiful smile-a treasure beyond words to us! You seem greatly interested in foods and drinks we consume and you have your own little special cry when you are hungry. When you are getting ready to eat, you jump a little and kick your legs and flail your arms, as if to say "Ok, I'm ready!" You love to be on Gpa's shoulder and walk around with him. You love seeing your aunts' faces. When you hear daddy's voice, you turn toward him. You always give Gma big smiles. But the person you love best is your mommy, you look at her with such love in  your expressive eyes and stare so eagerly toward her. You have become very good at pulling toys from your toy bars toward your face. You can make beads bounce, birds dance and teethers come close to your mouth. Every day you get a little more amazing and a little more beautiful. We are all so blessed to have you in our lives and we couldn't love you more! Your mommy told me today I have been calling you Baby Pie quite a lot lately-I didn't even realize it, but you are my little baby pie! All my love, Mimsi
