Foisy Family: Four Months Old

Zola is up to four months now! She is undergoing rapid changes now. Pretty much every day I notice something new.

Zola is expressing quite a bit of interest in food lately. She stares down our food and drink. We've given her little nibbles of things and she doesn't protest. Pretty soon we'll have to either start feeding her some food, or stop eating in front of her so she doesn't get mad out of jealousy.

She also seems to be teething. She has really started chewing on things all the time. There's basically no time when there isn't something in her mouth. She even chews her tongue, which looks really funny.

Zola has started protesting when we take a toy away, or when she drops a toy. Of course, we don't take away a toy just out of spite; usually, it's to hand her a different toy because the first one is dripping in drool. She is really good at picking up toys, putting them back down, and switching between hands. She also can take a pacifier out of her mouth and put it back in. Zola is increasingly reaching out for things she wants: a toy, a bottle, daddy's nose, etc.

Zola is still very long and slender for her age. We go into the doctor this week to get better measurements, and unfortunately for more shots. She still has a mark from her shots a few months ago. Zola is still very slow on the hair growth. There's some hair, but not much. She probably inherited this from mommy and daddy, who both were bald babies.

Zola is still unbelievably smiley. I can turn her crying into a smile within five seconds by singing. She also is laughing more and more, sometimes really loudly.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the last month:
