Time is flying and I can't believe that my baby girl is already four months. I am a bit behind so she is actually almost four and a half months at this point. She is getting so big, is such a happy/smiley little girl, and learning new things every day!
*Weight: 13 pounds 11 ounces
*Height: 24 1/2 inches (you are a tiny little thing!)
*You smile all. the. time. When someone smiles at you. When you hear a funny noise. When Preston walks by. When Grammy comes over. Any time. You are such a bright spot in my day.
*You can still roll over from your tummy to your back but not quite from back to tummy. You can get on your side and you do quite often in your crib. I hope you become a tummy sleeper soon!
*Eyelashes for days.
*You are already in size four diapers! Those thighs, girlfriend, you've got rolls for days and I absolutely love it!
*You still love bath time because you can splash and play.
*Boy are we TEETHING. You are drooling 24/7 and your gums on the bottom are starting to turn a bit white. It could be any day now that a tooth starts to pop through. Then again, we thought this with Preston and it was months later. (I am so glad kids don't remember this painful teething phase!)
*You are still getting up once a night. This allows you to eat five total bottles throughout a 24 hour period. 5 ounces every bottle, sometimes we can get you to eat more. You are currently spitting up a lot more too.
*You LOVE looking in the mirror at yourself. Seeing that bright smile of yours just makes you giddy to no end. You've found your high pitch shrieking voice and it's the most darling thing!
*Your hair and your eyes have started to lighten just a bit. Your hair is much longer and whisps out to the side on both sides of your head. I swear I will be able to put your hair in a ponytail soon! Haha.
*You love it when I say "Mama".
*You still enjoy your pacifier, but again, only to soothe you...then you are done with it.
*You are giggling a little these days, but I am still waiting for that true belly laugh.
*You love taking walks.
*When you got your four month shots it was the first time as a Mom that I felt terrible. Usually I am not the Mom who can't watch their kids get a shot. It's no big deal...you will survive. But when you got these last two shots the cry that you had was sheer sadness. I felt so guilty and bad for you, it took you about 10 to 15 minutes just to calm down. I can't take the tears, girlfriend!
*You have started solids! Yay! We started with oatmeal first for two weeks, just at night before bed time. We are now excited to start some fruits and veggies with you one at a time. You really enjoy eating from a spoon.
*You are napping better throughout the day in your crib. But you are still wishy washy. Some days you will sleep a really long time, and some days you won't. Let's get a schedule already!
Baby girl, we are having so much fun with you and your happy spirit. You bring such a new dynamic to our family and we love watching you grow. On to the next memories!
