Happy 4 months to our baby girl!

 

 

4 month fun facts:
She has learned how to rotate around in her Baby Einstein's activity gym.
She only rolls to the left, but she can now roll from back to tummy and from tummy to back!...
She loves to giggle now - it's very high pitched and loud and she really breaks it out during bath time.
She is very, very smiley when she wakes up first thing in the morning.
She's discovered her toes and thinks she needs to find ways to chew on them as often as possible.
She loves her big brother.
She thinks daddies beard and hair are fun to pet and pull.
She likes to "pet" the basset hound's face and get ahold of his mouth, nose, and ears when he'll let her.
Bath time is still one of her favorites - lots of splashing and giggling!
She's working hard at sitting up - doing baby crunches and balancing in a seated position for short periods of time.
She is a drool factory - we go through about 4-5 bibs a day.

She is not a very good sleeper still - something we need to work more with her on. She generally wakes up at 1, 4, and 5:30 every morning.

 

She has her 4 month visit coming up to get "official" stats - but as of this past Tuesday she weighed 15lbs 10 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long. Big girl is growing, growing, growing!!! I love coming home to her every night and miss her all day. I'm glad she gets to spend her days at home with her daddy, but apparently she tends to be a little fussy with him and isn't a very good napper either. I hope they figure a routine out soon that works for both of them. I hate that she's not getting good rest and is cranky with him a lot of the time! We need to figure out what works best for her for sleeping and help her get into a better routine. She has a set bedtime routine every night and goes to sleep pretty well, she just doesn't stay asleep very well!
