Happy 4 months old to me!
(late post by 2 weeks but at least the pictures are of the right ages!)
*I am REALLY loving to suck three fingers. I still do not like pacifiers but then again
I haven’t been given one in a long time since I rarely cry.
*I am beginning to drool more. There is always drool around
my mouth.
*I smile with my WHOLE mouth! It's one big wide open smile!!!
I really light up when people talk to me.
*I am a very long girl. I am currently wearing 9 month footed
sleepers and my 6-9 month footed sleepers are a week away from being retired. And
I’m only 4 months old.
*I LOVE my exersaucer, Bumbo, watching TV and listening to
people read books. I really just love being held.
*I am still being swaddled at night time and nap time and sleep with a noise machine on.
*This past month I really started a napping routine. During
the day I nap after being awake every 2 or so hours. My naps last anywhere from
30 minutes to 3 hours. Usually I have two quick 30 min- 1 hour nap in the
morning, followed by a late afternoon nap that lasts anywhere from 2 -3 hours.
*I am still a very happy and easy going baby.
*My hair is getting lighter (the hair that I have!)- I just
might be a blonde
*My legs are getting stronger everyday. I can pretty much
support all my weight on my legs with help from mom or dad holding my arms
*I am "talking" so much more.
*I love grabbing onto toys and putting them up to my mouth.
I reach for them when they are in front of me or above me.
*I spent the last month getting used to the baby ergo
carrier and usually don’t have a hard time sleeping in it when needed. But I
sleep best in my bed.
*I LOVE watching Anna and Ashley do anything and I really
like to play in the playroom with them. I like playing on my playmat and looking
in the mirror during tummy time. I actually enjoy tummytime most of the time. I
like swatting at the toys hanging, sitting in my BUMBO, exersaucer, bouncer or
Boppy, laying on my back and sitting on mommy or daddy's laps. I also love
watching brother!
*I am still sleeping great! At night time I get around 12
hours of total sleep; I am going to bed around 7:00/7:30ish and waking around 3:30ish
to eat and then again at 7 ish. I still only take about 25 minutes to eat, get
a diaper change (sometimes my diaper is so dry I don't change it), get
re-swaddled and fall back asleep. I have
even slept from 7 – 5 a handful of
times! Who-hoo!!
*I am still breastfeeding; eating every 3- 3 1/2 hours.
Mommy thinks I drink anywhere from 4-5 oz at each feeding. I don't drink from
the bottle that much but enjoy it when daddy feeds me!
*This month I rolled over belly to back (2 times) and also
back to belly (1 time).
*I started touching and playing with my toes. I love playing
with my hands.
*I went through a huge growth spurt where mommy was up every
2-3 hours at night feeding me for 4 days in a row. It was insane how much I ate
