4 Months Old

I cannot believe I am writing yet another "monthly update" blog!  These things are just coming up too frequently and time is flying too fast!

I have been back at work 5 weeks now and it is starting to get a little better.  I would much rather be home with my sweetpeas, but I have had a great group of patients the last few weekends that really make my job more enjoyable.

Now for an update on my sweetie....

Sweetest smile,ever...


 

What do we like?


We love to be walked around, inside and outside.  She has learned whenever someone is sitting down holding her and will pitch herself a little fit.  She likes to explore her surroundings, and if she is in one of those moods, you may as well just get ready to walk.

She still loves the floor.  I have posted pictures of her on her lamb play mat, but unfortunately we are outgrowing it.  She is such a wiggleworm that she will squirm herself off of the mat, so now we have graduated to a folded up quilt.  Sadly, we are rapidly outgrowing things... I have had to start strapping her in her swing and bouncy seat because she will squirm until her bottom almost hangs off.

Her fist, teething rings, Mommy's knuckle, her thumb, anything she can fit in her mouth.  Yes, I think we have reached the teething stage.  Bless her heart, she is gnawing on everything!  We were at a shower last week and she kept trying to put other peoples hands in her mouth!  I can't feel any teeth yet, but I think they are coming.

A baby massage... She gets one every night after her bath.  She will just laugh and coo... She already loves to be pampered :)

Her Daddy... She will not talk to me all day.... She will be a happy baby, just quiet.  Well, her daddy can walk in the room at night (I have started to keep her up a little later so that he can see her.  He has been so busy planting here lately.), and she tells him all about our day!  In baby talk of course... she coos and squeals.... A daddy's girl already.

Kisses.  She loves to be kissed on the cheek, feet, hands, neck.  She will just smile and giggle.  She loves attention and is my little lovebug!

Music will make her tears stop almost instantly... I am hoping that she will be more muically talented than me or Matt!

Naps with Mommy.... She seems to sleep longer and harder when we nap on the couch together.  On Monday's, after working all weekend, I look forward to our Monday naps!  There is nothing more comforting than snuggling with her on the sofa!



Dislikes...

Really, nothing.  She is such an easy keeper.

She is starting to like tummytime better. She can push herself up on her elbows and is holding her head up really good! She has learned how to roll from her tummy to her back.  So, that makes her happy.

"Hey you!"


When she is sleepy, she does not want to be put down until she is asleep.  If you lay her down on the floor while she is still awake, but sleepy, she will fall to pieces.


Her bumbo...  I don't think she can sit up quite good enough for it yet.  Whenever I put her in it, she gets this terrified look like she is falling!


"Mommmmm, get me outta this thing...."


What else are we up to?

We just had our first taste of rice cereal (that experience will be a blog entry of it's own :))

We are in size 2 diapers and 3-6month (some of these are even snug!) and 6 month size clothes, all of which fit her to a T.  I got in trouble by my mama because it took both her and Daddy to get her zipped up in a 0-3 month size sleeper.  Is it so bad that I want her to be my little baby for ever?

She is usually only taking two naps a day, but each of them are about 2 hours long.  She may catch a little cat nap here and there though.

Mmmm, mmmmm those cheeks!


Rolls, rolls and more rolls.  I don't think I feed her enough (said with sarcasam).  She has fat rolls on her thighs, neck, wrists... She is so cute and squishy!!

Sleeping through the night still, most of the time.

Saying, oohhh and ahhh and mmmmm (when she says mmm mmm is sounds an awful lot like "mama" haha) and gggggg and squeals...

Still getting mommy's milk every 3 or so hours during the day... no formula yet :)

We have our four month check up next week!  I can't wait to see how much she weighs and how long she is!!
