All Grown Up... 4 Months Old already?


Recent developments!

  • Putting everything into her mouth and chewing and sucking on her hands and toys!
  • Mastering the front to back rollover technique, even though sometimes it still scares her! :)  She just needs some positive encouragement and then she usually starts smiling afterwards. 
  • She has grown the chubbiest, softest, most kissable cheeks EVER to be found on a baby!

  • It appears that Miss K may be a little on the shy side... or maybe it's just a phase??  When other people talk to her, even Scott and myself sometimes, she will often give a shy smile and try to hide her face.  She is also slow to warm up to strangers, and will cry if I just hand her off to someone quickly without giving her a chance to "get to know them" from my arms first.
  • She had her first belly laugh this month!  She almost always laughs when Scott buries his face into her belly and blows.
  • She is starting to lose quite a bit of her newborn hair... we find it in little patches on her mattress. In its place, if you look in the light... there appears to be little blonde hairs coming in!
  • Two words... drool... machine....
  • She is an okay sleeper, sometimes sleeping 6-8 hours a few times a week.  On the other nights, she will sometimes wake once or twice to eat.  I'm keeping a very meticulous food/sleep journal to try and figure out the patterns that work best for her.  Other nights she will wake up every 3-5ish hours.  Not bad... but I wouldn't mind a little more consistency. :)
  • I now finally understand what moms mean when they say, "Oh, I just want to eat you up!!" when talking to their babies.  A phrase that once sounded weird... finally makes sense!
So enjoying this little bundle of joy!
