4 Months

Another month has flown by! New things this month are...

• You're starting to giggle and squeal and you talk like crazy.  It's the sweetest sound!
• You have mastered rolling over from your back to your tummy...we can't keep you on your back any more!  Because of this, we no longer swaddle you at night and put you to sleep on your tummy (since you'll end up that way eventually).
• You love bath time and are so calm and relaxed during it.
• You have discovered your hands and constantly have them in your mouth or grabbing onto something.
• You drool like crazy...your shirts are drenched within minutes of getting dressed in the morning.  
• You love your sister and your face lights up when you see her.
• You have the sweetest smile and show it to us all the time.
• You're ready for bed around 7:00 every night and have given us a few nights where you didn't wake until 6 a.m.  Most nights, though, you're still waking between 1 and 3 a.m. to eat.
• You went on a nursing strike right after I went back to work.  I don't know if it was because I went back to work or because you had a cold and were stuffy (or both).  I'm still pumping and giving you 100% breast milk, but you're starting to show interest in nursing again.
• You can sit up (assisted) and are so strong.
• You weigh 13 lbs 11oz and are 25" long.

You are such a happy baby and have brought so much joy to our lives!  It's crazy to think that 1 year ago we were just learning that our family was expanding!
