I don't have a lot of exact numbers on her height and weight and such as I was unable to get Lilia in for a 4 month check up (even though I called three weeks in advance) and we are leaving for the states next week.... However, I did take her to the triage clinic the other day and wormed my way in for some questions and a weight. Lilia is 17 lbs 6 oz!!!! Or according to my brother, "a seriously chubby baby!" The nurse in triage and the doctor at the clinic thought that she must have been formula fed and were surprised that she is exclusively breastfed. Go Lilia! She is so chubby that she is actually wearing 6-9 month clothing!!! She is certainly her father's daughter. I will have to post some pictures of Cliff as a baby sometime soon.
In other news:
She is still talking up a storm and like to yodel like "Tarzan"
She pulls blankets and rattles up to her mouth and she tracks objects well.
She turns to sounds and voices.
She tries to pull herself up to a sitting position when I hold her hands and she is laying down. When I do pull her up she keeps her head level. Speaking of sitting up, she wants to be completely sitting up in her stroller. She does not like to be reclined in the stroller or her swing anymore.
She ROLLED OVER yesterday. From back to tummy. I guess most kids do it the other way first, but my mom said we all rolled over from back to tummy first. She has been working on this for weeks now and I was ignoring it until yesterday.
She doesn't do it very often but she does laugh out lough every now and again and it is the funniest sound. It makes Cliff and I laugh so hard that we usually scare her and then she laughter turns to tears.... maybe that's why she doesn't laugh very often...
She is drooling a ton. I hope this doesn't mean that we are starting the teething process....
She also loves to stick her tongue out... (much like her mother,) and she can lick her CHIN. She definitely got my tongue and not Cliff's little stubby tongue. Her's is very very very long. I tried to get a picture of it all the way out but she is too fast. I call her "Lilia lizard."
I guess that is about it for now!

YAY Lilia!! What a healthy, happy, SERIOUSLY adorable little girl!! I loved the update, and just so you know- Thatcher was definitely teething at 4 months old! So have fun with that! But no worries, she MAY be one of those babies that pops those teeth through without any trouble! Hope to see you soon and meet her in person!
Seriously, I would be SO proud if my exclusively breast fed baby was so "healthy!" That's awesome! Way to make some good milk Jill!
