Getting Stronger

Lorelei is growing and getting stronger fast. One of the reasons is of course the fact that we are feeding her more. We are also sometimes supplementing her bottle with a little bit of rice cereal. But most of all I guess it is just the fact that she is now almost 4 months old! Unbelievable but true!

We have been putting her on her belly every once in a while but most of the times she would just stick her nose in whatever surface she was lying on. Well, those days are over. She has gained so much strength that she is now able to lift up her head. As you can see in this picture she has to use pretty much every muscle in her body, but it works!

Another thing is that she is able to be awake more during the day. Sometimes she is just lying in her play-pen for 30-45 minutes at a time looking at her toys, smiling and sometimes even laughing, and, every once in a while, grabbing something. She is also talking, or maybe a more accurate description would be "making some noises". In her play-pen she does this by herself, but if we talk to her, she sometimes responds to us (well, that's what we like to believe anyway :-)).

It was kind of difficult to take, timing-wise, but I love this picture!
