Imogen at four months

Sitting up in her bumbo, playing with her new toys
 It's going by so quickly I rarely have the chance to stop and think about what Imogen is like, right now, at the point in time.
Well, she is a lovely baby. From the start we have always received comments about how quiet, happy and easy going our little girl is. And she really is, we have very rarely had to deal with an inconsolable baby, most of the time with Immy she is trying to tell you something when she is crying. She is a little bit of an odd ball, sometimes she just wants to be put down and left to play/comfort herself.
At around 4pm every night her crib becomes her enemy, the same place she is happy to sleep in in the morning and late afternoon, just will NOT do. So she usually ends up in my arms, and we sit in my big feeding chair and she will have a nap while we wait for Rhys to get home.
She is very good at grabbing and holding onto things. She smiles all the time, and will laugh if Rhys or myself laugh.
She is bigger than average, weighing in at over seven kilos at four months of age.
She reminds me of her dad, not because she looks like him (which she sometimes does), but because she acts like him. She dropped something in the kitchen the other day, and it made this massive sound, so I spun around to see the exact face Rhys gives in that situation, on Immy's little face.
She continues to refuse to roll over all the way. But finds it funny to roll around during nappy changes.

Out for icecream with mummy and daddy
We still cannot agree on what colour her hair will be, blonde? strawberry blonde? brown? At the moment the popular guess is bald.
Out and about on our daily walk
We sort of, but do not really have a routine. She usually has a nap around 7-8am, 11-12pm, 3-4pm ish. But I don't keep it to exact times, I go from her eyes and sleepy looks. Sleeps can vary from 15 minutes to  2 hours.
She enjoys "conversations" with Mr Butterfly or "doing her calculations" on her walker.
She is a big daddy's girl, and usually will not look at him on Monday/Tuesday when he gets home from work, I think she is upset that he left her ALL DAY with mummy after the whole weekend with both mum and dad.
She likes to be involved, she started to cry when I was making dinner last night, so I gave her the egg flipper and she stopped crying and played with it for 25 minutes!
You can tell she is getting sleepy from her eyes and her laugh (she has an I'm not sleepy laugh).
She is stubborn and persistent. She is gentle and happy. She is Immy.
