Our Little Lisie

Alisa Danielle is now 4 months old (well, this weekend.) I wanted to wait for her checkup to add some stats, but she's doing so many things that I want to chronicle. (And her appointment isn't for a few weeks cause her last one was late.)

Typical milestones: She is so super close to rolling over, she gets almost all the way there and falls back onto her back. She doesn't love tummy time, but will tolerate it ok for a few minutes. She has also been working on teeth for weeks and weeks now! They keep popping their little tops out, then sliding back in. We have seen parts of at least 4 separate teeth, but they all disappear again. This is frustrating because it just prolongs teething woes. (Amie didn't have teeth til almost 10 months old, though.) She is a great smiler, and we're having a similar story with laughs. I've had one good, real laugh session with her, and the same for dad, but neither of us has been able to recreate it since. Sad-as it is incredibly adorable, of course. She has been having lots of tummy issues-reflux, we think. Our doctor said 4 months should be about the end of it, so we're just hoping and praying that soon... She's really actually a very happy baby, but gets lots of tummy ows, and then, geez, you never hear the end of it. It makes it hard sometimes.

She doesn't look much like her sister - she's tall, has almondy eyes, an average sized head and she's got thick, short, fuzzy hair. Their personalities are opposites, too. Amie has always been very active and fireball-ish. Overall, Lisie's been relatively calm-even back in the ultrasounds. Those 2 opposites do love each other, though. Amie adores Lisie, and anytime she plays with her, Alisa will smile and coo right back. I can't wait to see what their relationship turns into as they grow older. Hopefully they'll be as close as we want them to be!

Here, she's about 2 months old, when she first began smiling. Tried to capture it, but only a bit in the beginning.
