Thing 2 is 4 months old today!  I cannot believe it.  An email from BabyCenter says between this time and 6 months of age, she’ll develop the ability to make some sounds, which means we might hear the words “mama” and “dada.”

At this point Hubby and I can totally wait for her to talk! Thing 1 is all we need for now and he is a handful!  Although we are interested in Thing 2 saying words we are not interested either.

Thing 2 has been checking herself out lately when she is near a mirror.  She actually will check out anyone else that she can see in the mirror too.  It is so cute and funny.  Although I am hoping this is not an indication that she will be a high maintenance girl?!

Thing 2’s new pediatrician (who I love) said it would be ok if we wanted to start trying her out on food but I am going to wait until the end of the month (or later) to try cereal.  I think I am just not ready to have to be able to start that whole process with her.  Am I being selfish?  Kane would definitely say so…  I also don’t trust that Kane won’t try to put other food in her mouth when he sees us feeding her?!

This past week Thing 2 has been “trying out” her voice.  There are so many times when she makes these noises and then she just laughs.  Then there are other times when she screams bloody murder.  In fact, on Wednesday night, after we drove all over Smyrna to get Thing 1 ice cream for his birthday, I had to pull over because I thought her car seat strap was cutting her somewhere.  She screamed bloody murder!  NOPE- NOT AT ALL – she was fine.  Just really wanted to get out of her car seat!

This will be the first week for all of us as a full week since the Hurricane came and then we had Labor Day weekend.  I pray this week is better than the last two!
