At four months...
- You are still a breastfeeding champ and I couldn't be prouder! I had to stop breastfeeding Titus around 3 months, so this is a big time milestone for me. You do well at taking a bottle as well (4-5oz), you just insist on it being pretty warm.
- You have a pretty set bedtime (7:30/8) unless we are out somewhere. You usually only wake up once during the night to eat, but that varies (anytime between 2:30-5:30). You will get up for the day about 12 hours after you went down.
- You only poop once every 2-4 days! It doesn't seem to bother you at all though.
- You wear size 2 diapers
- Your hair is still red! This is one of the most popular questions I get about you.
- Your eyes are still a pretty dark blue, with a little bit of gray. You have INCREDIBLY long eyelashes!
- You like to grab the toys hanging from your playmat and chew on them
- You are a pretty quiet baby. Not only are your noises dainty and feminine, but you just don't make a whole lot of noise in general. You are a big-time people watcher
- You have turned into SUCH a good napper! If we're home during the day you'll do 2 long naps (1.5-3 hours) and one evening catnap (30-45 minutes). If we are out you will take 20-30 minute catnaps but be generally happy even off schedule, then take a long nap (2.5-3.5 hours) when we finally get home. You even take naps at the gym in your carseat!
- You weigh 13 lbs
- You are a DROOLER! It is such a problem. You soak through all your clothes unless you have on a bibdana.
- You are still sleeping in your rock 'n' play. I gotta move you to that crib!
- You don't roll at all. In fact, you could care less about rolling. You don't even attempt it! You are completely content laying exactly where you are, whether it's on your tummy or back
- You are swaddled for naps and night time and once you are wrapped up and I put your paci in you fall asleep in like two minutes. You are such a good baby.
- You have started looking for people when you hear their voice
- You are wearing 3 month clothes and some 3-6 month clothes, although they are too long on you. You have to wear 6-9 month headbands though because you have a pretty big head like brother!
- You love playing peekaboo
- My favorite thing about you is the first time you see me in the morning. You get this huge smile on your face and I know you've been waiting for me!
- You try to watch the tv. This will probably be what gets you to roll over, ha!
- You still hate the carseat in almost every scenario
Did I mention what an easy baby you are? Seriously. Daddy and I talk about it all the time, we are so lucky! Even when you're tired or hungry you won't really cry much as long as you're being held. Anyone can put you to sleep with your paci and you aren't afraid to be held by strangers. You're pretty flexible in your schedule as far as babies go, which is good considering we are always on the go with big brother! Honestly, Haddie Mae, your demeanor is the only thing that makes me think I might want another baby. If they were all as easy and sweet as you I might have a couple more! But you are one of a kind, sweet girl, and we are just happy to have even one of you in our family. Love you to the moon and back!
