Eileen is Four Months Old

Eileen is growing up so fast!

She is wearing size 6 month clothes.

All she wants to do is sit up.  She can't sit unassisted yet, but she really likes to be sitting up so she can see what's going on.

Nothing makes her madder than being turned so that she cannot see what's going on around her.  She MUST be facing out toward everything and everyone.  And she examines EVERYTHING.

Eileen has discovered her mouth.  And everything she gets a grip on goes immediately into her mouth.

I think she has begun to teethe.  Poor kid is so unhappy- she's been a little fussier than usual, and sleeping through the night is a thing of the past.  Also, there's drool everywhere.  We go through about eight bibs a day.

Not so sure about this cutting teeth thing

Chewing on her rattle

Eileen's favorite toys are her ball rattle and her sterling silver rattle.  She really likes to chew on the silver rattle.

Really chowing down on the rattle

She found her feet last week.  Now there is nothing that makes her so happy as to "catch" her feet in her hands.  It's absolutely adorable.

And on this day last year (March 22, 2010), David and I learned that Eileen was on the way.  It has been, without a doubt, the happiest year of our lives so far.

Happy Four Month Birthday Eileen!
