Another month has gone by and you are growing up right before our eyes.
You have turned into the happiest little thing! You are no longer the fussiest baby on earth HA. You smile all the time and you love to giggle. Sometimes you giggle so hard you let out the cutest high pitch sound. I'm so happy you are happy!
Sleep, not consistent. You are asleep by 7pm, sleep until around 5pm, nurse, back down until 7-8:30am for one week then the next week you're down at 7pm, back up at 7:30, nurse, sleep until 1-3:30am, nurse, awake around 5:30am, nurse, up for the day between 7-8:30am. Overall, you are a good sleeper.
Naps, that's an entirely different story. I think the reason you sleep until 8-8:30am is because you nap horribly. You are a light sleeper like mommy. If we are in the car, which we are out of the house by 9-10 am every morning, you sleep. Once we arrive to our destination, you always wake up. So you get about a 20-30 minute nap there. You don't nurse to sleep when we are home, only nurse for nourishment, which means mommy puts you in the swing and pray for a nap. I do that after about 2 hours you've been awake from your last cat nap. Swing naps last about 30 minutes as well. You probably nap a total of 2 hours every day. Not great, but like I said, you are a happy baby. It works for you!
Before falling asleep for your naps, you go "ahhh." So stinking cute!
You still nurse every 1.5-2 hours while awake. You are a quick nurser, about 5-10 minutes. You like to get in and get out HA.
I weighed you at 13 pounds, but we will know your exact weight next week at your 4 month well check. You are in a size 2 diaper, but mommy has you in size 1 to finish off the box. I had some size 2's left over from Vivian that fit you so much better. Not so tight around those chunky legs. You are in 3-6 month clothing, but can still wear a few 0-3 months depending on the brand.
You have the sweetest 'peach fuzz' on your head and I love running my chin and mouth over your sweet hair. So soft!
Tummy time is getting better only if you are on a pillow. Not so much the fan when flat on the ground. You can roll from your tummy to your back, but not from your back to tummy. You can make it your side before rolling back to your back. You'll get there soon enough. You can spin half way around on your play mat.
You love your big sister. You love watching her every move and she brings the biggest smile to your face. You don't mind if she rolls on top of you, as long as it isn't too hard. She likes to feed you her pretend food. You are always included. She wants to hold you all the time and tells you she 'loves you' on her own. Mommy and Daddy have to get her to repeat 'I love you' after us to hear her tell us HA.
You have brought so much joy to our lives and I am so incredibly thankful that God chose us to be your parent and Vivian's big sister! We love you sweet buttercup!!
"I CAN'T IMAGINE live before YOU came along...me there singing senseless, no MEANING to my song. Call it MEANT TO BE or simply blessed fate, you fill my heart WITH LOVE...and for THAT I celebrate." -- Maianne Richmont
