Wow she loves to scream. She has been screaming for a couple weeks now usually when she is happy. It is mostly cute until it gets closer to bedtime than it can get a little nerve fraying but at least she is happy and not upset.
You can't put the girl down without her going on her tummy. I put her down to change her, turn to grab a diaper and boom she is on her tummy, the same goes for everytime you put her on the floor and or playmat, even shortly after eating when you are holding her she will try to wriggle onto her tummy.
She is also getting really good at standing. As long as someone is holding her under the arms she can keep her weight on her feet on the floor and stay standing for a little bit. She also pushes off when she is sitting so she can stand.
And of course she scoots everywhere. She has got to be close to crawling she has the tushy in the air thing down and the pushing up on her arms but it is the combination that is a problem.
All in all she is doing great. She will be 4 months July 4th I bought her a cute little shirt from the Target dollar spot that says "Little Firecracker" and I also bought her rice cereal and I am so excited to start her on that. She was eyeing my chicken strips the other day so I know she is ready to try. We are going to start it on the 4th I think it will make it a fun day!! Babies are so cute when they start to eat. Who cares if they spit it out if you don't want to get dirty don't have kids :)

Zatanna I believe is a little obsessed with rolling over :) Which I guess is to be expected, I do the same thing when I learn new stuff that I like. Plus I am with her, laying on your side to sleep is much nicer than on your back.
She was extremely fussy tonight which is not like her at all. Doug told me she had not taken more than a few minutes nap since he had been home so I am thinking she was very tired although she kept biting on my finger so it could always be the teething thing but only she knows for sure. Eventually I walked her around and rocked her and she just fell asleep until I tried to put her in her crib. Then I had to play the seahorsey, turn her over a couple times (she is not perfect with tummy to back yet) and play the seahorsey again...and that may have been her I just heard....hmmm.
Anywho, she is so interested in the world around her....oh yep baby break...so we laid down on the couch for a moment and she was out in a couple minutes. Which is fine with me I love our little couch cuddles. Anywho, back to the interested in teh world thing she loves something on the bathroom counter but I can't figure out what it is...but everytime she is in the bathroom for mirror time she ends up looking down, giggling and just staring enthralled at something on the counter.
I just opened one of her teething rings tonight. That kept her entertained for a while she didn't suck on it just squished it around a bit.
Also, she looked at her foot the other night and I can tell that will be her next favorite thing since she must be getting bored with her hands for now :) Although she is loving learning to clap with daddy.
We bought Z three books Monday. They are the Monster at the End of this Book (which is a classic and everyone should have it), The poky little puppy (which after I read it is a stupid story and I may have to change the ending in order to be able to read it again) and lastly Berenstain Bears learn about strangers (which will come in so handy once she is old enough to understand it) it was a really good explanation. I know I enjoyed it and now I know Brother and Sister Bears rules for cubs but I ask you do you???!

6*15*09
I am back to work tomorrow after a week off. I guess I am kind of glad to be going. I do miss it somewhat. I know there will still be numerous days that I wish I could stay home with her since it is not her that I am trying to get away from rather the monotony of the day.
She is changing so fast...oh my goodness! I can not believe it. Right now she is growling on her playmat with only one sock on (we lost the other somewhere between the crib and living room). I will have to get the growls on camera soon. It is so cute. She loves screams...which is cute but at times a little fraying to the nerves. At least I know she has no lung problems...
She rolled over twice today. Once on her playmat while I was downstairs and Doug on the computer and again in her crib when she went down for a nap...so of course all we got to see was the end result.
We aren't very great at tummy time but she is learning to like it a little more everytime we do actually do it. It is so difficult to hear her struggle to roll over or get up on her arms and have her start to get upset. So all I can do is keep trying and know that Z is a happy healthy baby and she will learn at her own pace. She is already learning tons with her gibberish, putting weight on her legs and rolling over. I am not going to push the envelope. Although crawling is definitely cute :)

Z has discovered her hands the last week or so. She chews on them constantly and gives them the "hey what all can you do" look. She likes to pull mommies hair to steady herself which is lovely...she also pinches... the cute part is when she drags the little blankie/animal deals up next to her face like they are her best friend...SO CUTE!! And now her playmat actually makes noises because of her and not someone sitting next to her moving things for her.
She was a little irritable today. She is trying really hard to master rolling over from back to tummy. She has done it a couple times before but right now she is so intent on learning how to do it. She spent the whole day on her side just trying to get the momentum to make it all the way over. It was adorable but for her very frustrating. She made grumpy noises quite a bit :) and got out her new screams to show her displeasure. Then of course she would get very tired and try to sleep. If the TV is on a kids show she gets really irritable because you can see her struggling between wanting to sleep and the fun noises. It is just like Krissy on Growing Pains when she didn't want to go to sleep because she was sure people were playing with dolls and ponies as soon as she did. Well ok not exactly like that but as close as an infant can come. (Oh, I am sure that episode will pop up again, for some reason that episode really stuck with me probably because I felt the same way at the time maybe not dolls and ponies but fun stuff all the same) Anyway, it was a fun day. We did very little but sometimes the best days are ones just spent being a family.
I am looking forward to all the cool things coming up. Sometimes it is nice to be reminded of the wonderful things in life through the eyes of someone discovering them for the first time.

Rolling Over
Z rolled over yesterday. Doug put her on her playmat and went to the little boys room. When he got back she was on her tummy. So, of course no one seen it but unless there is someone going into peoples houses and turning babies over she rolled over :)

Baby Z this last week
Zatanna has had a very intense week. Since my sister got into town I have been dragging the little girl everywhere we go well almost everywhere. She did not go with us to Six Flags or with my bro and I to the Cards game but she was not at home for either of those and she handled most of it happily. She is still getting a bit of seperation anxiety which isn't supposed to start for a little while but she gets it. She is always smiley and happy with her mommy but when you put her with someone else if mommy is not in sight she can get a bit upset. Even poor Doug told her one day when he picked her up and she started crying until she saw me "Don't you cry at me and smile at your mommy" soon after she was very happy to be with her daddy. Sometimes she is just mommys girl in I love Daddy clothes. :) She does love her daddy very much though and will follow him with her eyes a good percentage of the time he is home. Which I find fitting since he is the fun one! He is the one who taught her about flying and so now if you hold her facing front she will bend over so that she can fly around. She often prefers this to any other position.
She went to her first garage sales with grandma Allen, Aunt Charity and mommy on Friday. we were out from 830 to noonish and she only got grumpy a few times and not for very long. A lady at one of the sales absolutely thought she was the cutest thing ever. She asked to hold her which I had no problem with and she just raved about how precious she was and that she never asked to hold peoples babies because she finds that awkward but Z was just too precious not to hold. I was a very proud mommy! She got a couple new outfits and Aunt Charity bought her some cute toys including a hand puppet of cookie monster which as soon as I figure out how to clean it may make its way over to grandpa Penny since he is the puppetmaster in the family :) on the condition of course that cookie monster still loves cookies none of this new age cookie monster is healthy crap that some hoosier came up with. He is a monster for heavens sake people get a grip...
Lastly today, Z went to Bob Evans this morning for a farewell breakfast to Aunt Charity and Uncle Geoff. They gave us a sling to sit the car seat in which I have never seen and frankly is amazing!! Anywho, she loved it. She was all smiles and could not stop looking at everything. So, as long as I keep her fed I think Baby Z will do beautifully in social settings!! Yeah!!
