4 Months

Little stinker,



You are:

  • 14 lbs 6 ounces (50th percentile)
  • 24 1/2 inches tall (50th percentile)
  • 75th percentile in head circumference!  
  • Loving to sing!
  • Wanting us to let you "stand" and put weight on your legs
  • Smiling all the time
  • Laughed for the first time!
  • Get scared very easily
  • A VERY light sleeper (just like your mama, which really stinks)
  • loving to watch Joey in the room
  • Nursing/bottle every 3 hours or so and once during the night
  • Slept through the night a few times!
  • Got your first fever!
  • Wear 3-6 month clothing
  • Met your friend William for the first time!
  • Cheered on the Broncos to the SuperBowl!
  • Still hate tummy time :(






The biggest thing to happen this month was starting school/me going back to work.  I definitely cried a lot about leaving you most of the day, but I've been very lucky to still get to nurse you around 8 am and make it home in time before your 5pm feeding.  This has definitely helped!  You are generally eating twice at school, around 4 ounces each time.  You didn't like the bottle at first, but you are getting a lot better.  You LOVE school and so do we.  It is the sweetest place and definitely makes the transition easier.  You are in a room with 3 other babies (all girls)!  The people there sure do love you.  I have definitely snuck away from work a few times to come play with you.

We also had a sweet blessing at church this month and promised to raise you as Christian parents.  I pray that we can serve God everyday and that you will know Christ as your Father.  Our church is so amazing and we are so blessed to have such a great community of believers.

You also scared me half to death with a minor fever.  It turned out to be nothing, but I definitely sped all the way to school to come get you.

You are starting to sleep a little better, however, it's hard for you to get back to sleep once you wake up.  Hoping that gets better!  You normally want to eat around 3-4 am and then go back to sleep until 7:30.  We usually put you down around 8 pm.  

You are such a happy baby and are truly the love of my life.

I love you to the moon and back.
