4 Months

I'm 4 months!!!!!!

My stats:
Height - 50%
Weight - 75%
Head - 90+%....I'm my brothers' sister for sure.

How am I sleeping???
As of the past week...pretty darn good. It has rocked my world - in a good way. :)
You doze off in the morning a couple of times for a light little rest. This is in the car seat, in your chair, on the floor...wherever. Then after lunch, I swaddle you up and you sleep for 3 hours (in your crib) between your noon and 3:00 meals. I love this schedule and that you adhere to it.
The last time we feed you is usually 10:00pm, then we swaddle you up, toss you in the crib with a kiss and a pacy. This past week, you have woken up around 5:00am, but I go in there and just put your pacy back in your mouth, and you have mostly slept all the way until 9:00am. It's fantastic and I'm blessed by your love of sleep. :)

You eat 5 bottles of 6oz./day and are still spitting up, though not as much since we started adding a little rice to your bottles.

You are one happy baby. Daddy and I were talking about how you are much sweeter and happier than either of the boys were at this age. You're just super easy going and don't really ever cause much of a fuss unless you are hungry or sleepy. And even then, you're easily soothed.

You are a cuddler!!! My first cuddle baby ever!!! Your favorite position is just curled into my chest while I hold you. You love it, I love it...it's hard to put you down!

Your main nickname is "little sister". I call you that probably 70% of the time.

You love the trampoline. Well, you love sitting in my lap on it, and watching your brothers go crazy. It's the first time we heard you belly chuckle from the gut over and over. So now we make it a nightly family routine (when it's nice outside) since you love it so much. Noah loves jumping high and making you laugh on the trampoline. He thinks it's hilarious.

Noah is starting to pay more attention to you these days but oh my goodness, your brother Lincoln absolutely adores you. He always has, but these past few weeks, you have started to show admiration and preference for him which is SPECIAL. He made up his own little games with you to get you to laugh at him. Neither daddy nor I can do this in the manner he does. It's you and your brother's secret, special game and it is precious. He often, out of the blue, just tells us how much he loves you and how pretty you are. I think you and Lincoln are going to have one special relationship little sister.

Overall, we just can't get enough of you. And that's not the cliche thing to say either...I just don't know how else to put the honest truth! You're such a JOY. I love dressing you, holding you, playing with bows, singing to you, and can't wait for all the girlie things we're going to do together. I'm so thankful God blessed us with you sweet little sister.
