A few of my favorite shots of our little Shea Bug, taken well over a month ago (as usual!!!). I think I took these right around her 4-month birthday. Let's see... things she's been doing lately, other than keeping us all smiling... -
She's a little roly-poly, in more ways than one! She's been rolling from back to front since she was four months old and is a bit undecided on whether or not she can roll from front to back. Some days, she's a pro and other days, she seems to have no idea that she's capable of getting off her tummy. Too funny!

In addition to her sweet little coos, growls, grunts, aahs, gaahs and goos, she has added a "ba" to her vocabulary. How is it that such a little thing can be so much fun to listen to?

She's napping like a pro (let's hope this doesn't jinx anything!), allowing me to carry her into her bedroom, place her in her crib, give a quick kiss and a goodnight and walk out the door. LOVE IT! Two nights ago, she even beat her nighttime sleep record and gave us 14 hours straight. Yay, Shea!

We started rice cereal this week. I wish I could have videotaped it, but I was alone, so I'll have to give my best account of what happened. First spoonful, I got the scrunch face I was fully expecting. Second spoonful, Shea was lunging forward trying to grab the spoon and put it in her mouth, herself! I love how easily she takes to things. Of course, two days into rice cereal, she broke out in a rash all over her body, so we've decided to wait a week, reintroduce it and see what happens.

She continues to ADORE her brothers. Dex and Jax are great at making her smile and giggle (even when they're not trying to). She thinks they are about the greatest things EVER. Equally fascinating for Shea are the boys' toys. If given the option of playing with a baby toy or a big-boy toy, Shea ALWAYS reaches for the latter. Now, I frequently hear the boys exclaiming things like, "No, Shea! Give that back! That's my toy!"

She still prefers being held to anything else, but I don't mind one bit. It was far too difficult to get good cuddle time in with the boys, as there were two of them and I almost always felt like I was neglecting one of them. I'm just loving the fact that I can hold our little Shea Bug, while playing with or helping the boys, and I don't feel like anyone is wanting for anything. What a great feeling.
No matter what else is going on around us, Shea manages to make us all smile, laugh and relax a whole lot more than if she weren't in this family. Thank you, Shea!!!
