Lady-Lawyer and her Baby-Bean: Where does the time go?

I'm going to start leaving my laptop out so that I am constantly reminded that I should be updating the blog...I think that's the only way I'll commit. At this point, I'm playing the "out of sight, out of mind" game. Which is silly, because I really want to have as many details logged as possible...so I'm doing myself a huge disservice by being so stinkin' lazy with the updates!

Anyhoo...

Kennedy is currently staring at me from her neglectomatic...errr...mommaroo! I'm not actually neglecting her...she's supposed to be napping, and just woke up...so I'm giving her a chance to fall back asleep before I get her out (less than 20 minutes does NOT count as a nap!).

She's now over 4 months!? Craziness. She hasn't really achieved any new milestones...she's better with her hand-eye coordination, but still a huge hater of tummy time (and therefore hasn't really done any more rolling etc.). I'm trying not to stress too much about it. I feel like Bella Koroli (i.e. the super strict Romanian gymnastics coach) imposing a strict tummy-time training regiment! :) You're never going to make the rolling over Olympics if you keep this up Kennedy! What? There are no "rolling over Olympics"? Hmmm...maybe I should relax a little...I mean it's not like she's going to be in her twenties and fall down on her back and start flailing about like a beetle/turtle because she's still incapable of rolling over!? She'll figure it out when she's good and ready (or she'll have to hire someone to flip her over whenever necessary as an adult!?).

Here's a picture of her on her 4 month birthday...

And, because I've started with the painful process that is uploading pictures, here are some more pictures of Baby-Bean!

I know I'm her mom, so I'm supposed to say things like this...but seriously, is this girl not the cutest freakin' thing you've ever seen!? :) Prof-Man and I are pretty smitten!

Since she's now 4 months old, she's old enough to try out her Jenny Jump Up (a girly version of the Jolly Jumper)...she hasn't really figured out how to jump in it, but seems pretty interested in the ability to turn herself around to see what's going on!

Have I mentioned the crazy amounts of drooling she's been doing? Whoops -- caught some on camera!

Here she is looking a little less like a blob in her infant seat...I hate to say it, but our gorgeous little future softball player and/or speed skater has some seriously thunderous thighs! She has to be wedged into this seat and when we pick her up to take her out, the seat usually comes with her! Makes for a less than ideal situation...Kennedy is not a fan of the Bumbo...which is fine, because I've heard that it delays their ability to sit up unassisted...so we'll make life work without the seat (though I'm going to keep trying, because if she ever gets used to it and/or her thinghs get a little smaller, it would be a very convenient seat for when mommy is making dinner).

Enjoying a few toys (EVERYTHING she can grab goes in her mouth now...preferably several toys at once).

A couple of random pictures...

...for which I have no comments...(Kennedy raises an eyebrow "Really mom, you have nothing to say about the look on my face in this next picture?")...
