All About Sunny

Sunny is officially 4 months old!!!  Sadly we have lost count of all the weird nicknames we have for her. Here a few to get you started: Sun Sun, Sun Beam, Sunny Bunny, Georgina (why or how? I have no idea....), and Sonseed (if you haven't looked up their hit song "Jesus is a Friend of Mine" on YouTube - I HIGHLY suggest you do it - it doesn't get any more 70's than that! ZAP!)

Anyway, regardless of her odd nicknames she is a very happy baby - especially after a good night's rest. She'll wake up and immediately give you the most big, cheesiest smile. She has been smiling for about 2 months now and just recently started giggling at things we say, although most of the time she just looks like a laughing baby on "mute" - she'll look like she's laughing but no sound actually manages to make it out. Towards the evenings though (usually before bed - perfect timing as usual), she'll start to do her baby babble. She and Matt have had some very interesting "conversations"...mostly about political issues...  ;-)

Sunny can officially hold her head up on her own and loves sitting up, especially in her Bumbo seat. She is also starting to like baby music and lights. As she is developing her hand-eye coordination she is really starting to explore the different textures of objects - grass seems to catch her attention the most at the moment. And I have to be very thankful that she is very easy to put to sleep. Just give her a bottle or rock her for a couple minutes, and and she is out like a light...now whether or not she stays asleep - well, that is a whole different story....

And let me tell you - this girl can EAT! And she will definitely make it known when she is hungry...it's like she can sense when food is near...Needless to say she is definitely turning into a little chunko. We're going to attempt to start her on solid foods this week and we'll see how she does.

Other than that - She is getting bigger by the day, and her sweet personality is really starting to shine through. We love her very much and feel very blessed to have her as part of our family.
