4 months old

Lindsey turned four months old on Saturday. She is growing leaps and bounds, both physically and mentally. We informally weighed her at 17 pounds today! She is wearing footy pajamas that are 6-9 months. She is smiling all of the time and really likes to focus on people's faces and hands. She also likes to put her hand on your mouth as you talk to her. I just know her little brain is taking in everything she sees and hears.
I took pictures of her today, but I will have to put them on the Blog tomorrow or sometime this week.
My emotions are being tugged in so many directions. I see little girls and think that I cannot wait until Lindsey is that age. At the same time, I never want her to grow up. I want to always be able to pick her up and snuggle her under my chin. I alway want to be able to sing to her and make her giggle. I always want to be able to hold her close to calm her down.
I look forward to the time when she will be able to say real words, but at the same time, I love to hear her babble and coo. It makes me all teary eyed to listen to that beautiful sound.
Sometimes I think my heart might burst out of my chest with love for her. And when I see her and TJ together, just forget it!!! I am a blubbering idiot! They are so cute together. I love to listen to him talk to her. Again, I look forward to when she is old enough to understand what she means to him. At the same time, I want him to always be able to carry her safely in his arms.
How did I earn such a great reward?
