Carolynn has really been noticing the dogs lately. She gets so excited, and holds out her arms when she is close to their level. The other day, she was petting Bevo's face and just pulled his lower eyelid. It was like a cartoon-"boing!" Brian and I both grabbed her hand, he was a good boy and just let her abuse him. She cracks us up! In this video, you can see Bonzo is just looking at me saying, "Help."

She "goes after them" in her walker. Sometimes she hollers at them.

Bottle Baby

So, Carolynn has been a real stinker lately about taking her bottle. Over the Christmas holiday, we never gave her a bottle so when it came time for her to take one again....yeah right. She threw a fit for Brian a few weeks ago and then again for her maw maw last week. I decided I was going to have to start giving her a little bit out of a bottle everyday or so, since not accepting a bottle is not an option-mama's gotta go out sometimes! Today I heated up one ounce and she took it like a champ, even trying to put it in her mouth herself! Way to go Carolynn!

So, Carolynn just had her 4 month birthday on January 10th. As I was documenting the past month in her baby book, I was running out of room on the page listing all the new things she's done since she turned 3 months. Here is a list of all the new things Carolynn does now.

• Roll from stomach to back (usually over her left shoulder for some reason)
• Laughs
• Tries to, and sometimes does, put her pacifier in her mouth by herself
• Scooches to get toys while on her tummy
• Notices the dogs
• Reaches out to a person or to pet the dogs
• Plays by herself, and makes LOTS of noise!
