4 Months!!

This week we celebrated 4 months of baby girl!

It's amazing how quickly the time is flying by.

Baby girl, we cannot believe you have already reached 4 months old.

You have easily become our missing piece.

Your cheerful spirit brightens each and every day.

Thank you for your happy smile and your willingness to learn all day long.

You continue to be attentive and wide eyed.

Constantly paying attention to your Mama and Dad.

In the past month you have:

-continued to be a great sleeper. You go to bed around 8:30 pm and wake up a bit before 7:00 am.

-continued to wake up and keep yourself company for 15-30 minutes. Still talking to yourself, your hands, mobile and now your feet.

-found your feet. They are your toys that are always there and you always find comfort in holding your feet.

-continued to eat 6 times a day, but have slowly moved from every 3 hours to now every 3 to 4 hours.

-finally started to nap on a consistent basis. You are the happiest when you get three nice long 2 hour naps and one smaller nap. Your evenings are more fussy when this does not happen.

-still not napped well while running errands....just way too much to watch and pay attention to.

-started flipping onto your front and also from your front to your back. You now do this while sleeping too.

-continued to be comfortable with all family and friends who hold you.

-continued to flirt and smile when family, friends and strangers say hi to you.

-started to grab mama's hair, most likely because you like to have something in your hands for the majority of your wake time.

-continued to suck of your hands and fingers. You still prefer this over a paci.

At 4 months you weigh 11 lbs 6 oz.

Oh, and your drool is beautiful Annabelle. We just love every single bit of you. Thank you for being our joy. Thank you for your hugs, cuddles and smiles.
