My sweet Colette. You are truly the light of all of our lives (including your darling sister's!) When you smile, all your little dimples (including one over your eye!) show up: your entire face just exudes joy and we can't help but just grin back!
You have given up sleeping quite as long as you used to at night, but, let's be honest, you're a growing girl with some serious teething... I can't deny your sweet self your comfort and nourishment! Luckily, you are pretty good about going back to sleep after eating in the middle of the night. Naps are hit and miss, but I always know that snuggling you into the sling will relax you into sleep almost immediately when things get desperate.
You are loving your voice these days. When you start to get tired, you start to talk more, beginning with a happy growl and, if we don't take the hint fast enough, ending with a not-so-happy cry. Still no laugh, but you'll do that when you're ready!
Your hair has gotten so long that it's starting to get in your eyes if I forget to clip it back! Not only has your hair grown, but you grew three pounds to 11 lbs and three inches to nearly 25 in the last two months! The doctor had to double check your length, he was so surprised. He was very impressed with how strong you are when he had you stand for him. You're just trying to keep up with that big sister of yours! You desperately want to roll over by yourself but haven't quite figured it out yet... any day now, is my guess!
We will always love you, sweet baby, always and forever!
*Lettie's middle name is not Lou... I just can't resist calling her that!
She is just TOO CUTE! 4 months already?!
