My Dear Baby Mia,

Happy Birthday sweetiepie! You're 4 months old today and it's buy-a-prezzie-for-Mia day as well as Monthly portrait day. Well we can buy your present today, but I think we will do your monthly portrait on Saturday.

My sweet little angel, firstly I think you must know that you always brighten up my days and make life even more worth living. I don't think I could a day without seeing you smile. Recently you have been quiet though, not as chatty as you once were and it got me a little worried. I sensed maybe you were bored with just Oohing and Aahing, then a couple of days ago, you started squealing, yes my love, you squeal in conversations and its just adorable. Today was the cutest though, we were sitting on the bed and your Grandma started talking with me and suddenly you started squealing and coo-ing trying to join in to the conversation.

Last week, you could officially hold your soft toys, especially your rattle and change hands too. You do the same with your pacifier. One evening last week you started showing off to mummy how you could take out your dummy and put it back in your mouth. Although putting it back in your mouth is not something you have mastered yet, I assure you not to worry my love, practice makes perfect and for sure in a couple of days time it'll be as easy as ABC to put in and take out your dummy.

Earlier this week, on the way home from Grandma's house, you learnt how to become a copycat. As usual on the drive home before your little cat nap in the car, you would chit chat with mummy by coo-ing, Ooo-ing and aahing or just blowing bubbles. I started pulling tongues and blowing bubbles at the same time and the funniest thing is that you did exactly the same. I'm convinced that your development is either right-on-track or just advanced for your age.
At home, while mummy did some chores, I sat you in your bouncing cradle chair and to my surprise you got all excited. I think that since you could reach your hanging soft toys on your play mat at your Grandma's house, you were excited to try and reach your hanging toys on your chair too. Without any hassle, you reached for the three soft toys which proves your hand-eye coordination has definitely improved. Later on, I found one of the hanging toys beside you. I smiled proudly knowing you were able to detach the toy too.

My baby, you are growing up fast but try not grow up too fast, okay my love.

xoxo
Mummy
