Four Months

Guess who's four months old?

Yep, this little blue eyed beauty! She's seriously the best, and I can't believe she is four months. And I know I say that exact same thing every month. I'll probably be saying it when she turns forty (and holy crap, when she turns forty I'll be SEVENTY THREE!!!)

OK, enough of that kind of talk. Let's talk about this sweet little babe.

She is still a really mellow baby, but when she gets mad, she is mad. he tends to go with the flow though, and really only gets super mad when tired and hungry. She is still exclusively breastfed and we are still pretty much feeding on demand. During the first part of the day I just let her eat whenever she is showing hunger clues, but we do try to keep to a little more of a schedule as the day goes on, just so she can get to bed by around 9:30 every night. And make no mistake.... girlfriend is well fed. We just had her well check and she is 15 lbs and 9 oz..... so double her birth weight! She is the 78% for weight and something like 84% for height. She is a beautiful little chunker!

She loves giving people big smiles and is starting to laugh along with those smiles. She's started rolling over from back to front, although she doesn't do it every time yet. She's propping herself up great with tummy time and it's taking longer for her to get tired and frustrated with it. She still will not take a binky, which this mama is not thrilled about, but she likes to hold her stuffed giraffe binky and suck on the stuffed animal party. She's also starting to enjoy toys more and we just recently put her in the bouncer and she likes that too, although she still needs a pillow under her feet because she doesn't reach the floor.

Her brothers still absolutely adore her and often fight over who gets to calm her down if she is upset. She still wants to be hold all the time, but she also likes to sit in bumpo and watch us do stuff in the kitchen. She loves sucking on her hands and if you're holding her she will most likely suck on your shoulder.  Sleep is getting better, she will often go all the way until 2am, and sometimes 3am. We still start with her in the snuggle nest in our bed and then co sleep once she wakes up for the first feeding. After she eats at around 2 she'll usually wake up between 5 and 6 and just dream eat for a bit.

Basically, she's a dream and we love her more everyday.
