4 months

~you are babbling often and love to "talk", with babbles, smiles and eye contact

~you chew on your hands all the time.... perhaps you are teething?

~just the other night you laughed for the first time, very intentional - you were laughing at Caeden slurping up spaghetti noodles. See video below!

~you are into a nice routine of a long morning and afternoon nap - both 1 1/2 - 2 hours and a catnap of about an hour, then in bed from about 7-7 overnight, with a dream feed and a couple more feeds thru the night. 

~just went thru your closet 'again' - you are pretty much out of anything smaller then 3 months and in 3-6 month clothes and some 6 months in just about everything

~you love your brothers and sister and they love you, you often give them smiles and they talk and play with you often

~We love you little A~

Love this picture!

Train up a child.......

the kids decided to do the dishes for me the other night
Alannah was in charge of the soap
Caeden the washing
Colm the drying

yes, he's stacking the clean dishes on a very dirty cutting board & counter ;-)

She was very generous with the soap too!

I do have to say, this kept them occupied for a long while, the remaining mess not too terrible and the dishes were passably clean..... 

Ailish & the Christmas bears

Happy New Year!
