Handley, Party of Five

Beatrice turned 4 months old this week, and oh what a difference a month can make!  At 3 months, she really woke up and started to notice and interact with Matt and me.  But now, at 4 months, she has discovered...her siblings!  She spends much of her time craning her neck to see what they are up to, and I often find her with "offerings" placed on top of her by her doting brother and sister (blankets, stuffed animals, books, toys).  They get a huge kick out of making her smile, and she is only too happy to oblige.  Her happiest moments are spent propped up, watching them play.  I often hear "Ohhh, Beatricey," "Look Bea!" and "It's OK Baby Bea," and "She's smiling at me!  Come quick Mommy, she's SMILING at me."  We are really starting to feel like a family of five now!
