4 Months

Yesterday I was walking around the grocery store with Eloise in her stroller.  She was sleeping.  And then she woke up.  I stopped and watched as she blinked her eyes and left whatever dreamworld babies go to when they sleep.... and slowly she came back into reality.  It took her a moment, and then she focused in on me, and sprang into the most enormous smile-- laughing and sparkling-- right there in the middle of the store, as if I had just told the most hilarious joke she'd ever heard. 

This is how you are at 4 months:  You are bursting with happiness, like you're filled up completely with bluebirds and bubbles that flitter around and tickle you all day long.  
I've never met anyone so huggable-snuggly; warm, squishy, cooing--  complaining when we put you down.    
At 4 months you are absolutely the fourth side to our square.  You are completely and totally one of us.  Happy 4-month birthday Eloise.
