Addison: 4 Months

Addison Leigh, what a fun month it has been!   You are moving around and really getting into your toys, reaching and grabbing onto things. We have loved hearing your belly laughs and seeing more and more of that precious smile. You hit a growth spurt earlier this month and were eating every couple hours for a couple days.  You just couldn't get enough!  You are getting so big and strong.

At 4 months you:

• really know who Mommy and Daddy are and it warms our hearts, especially when we pick you up from school
• are sleeping through the night!  This is a recent thing and we are loving it.  You are in bed by 8 and up at 6:30, sometimes we even have to wake you.  You seem so rested in the mornings and we feel like new parents. 
• are not swaddled anymore and prefer to sleep on your side
• are rocked to sleep
• have transitioned to 5 feedings a day (instead of 6), eat 6.5 ounces each feeding, breast milk only
• really enjoy tummy time
• are talking more and more and love to hear your voice/screams
• are loving your Sophie (the giraffe) and teething like crazy
• started school this month and are in the Cottontails class!  You go Monday - Friday;  Mommy drops you off around 8 am and we try to pick you up as close to 5 pm as we can.
• try to hold your bottle yourself, it is pretty precious. 
• have found that thumb again but not on a regular basis, still prefer your Wubbanub
• put anything and everything into your mouth
• are napping less during the day
• are rolling over from your back to your tummy!  This is another recent thing.  Daddy went in to get you after your nap just the other day and you were peeking out from your tummy.  You get a lot of cheers when you roll over from your two biggest fans.
• are wearing size 2 shoes, size 2 diapers, and 6 months clothes.  You have one or two 0-3 outfits that fit and are even wearing some of your 9 month clothes. Seriously baby girl, slow down.

 

Here are some more pictures from your 4-Month Day! 

 

 

 We love you beyond measure, sweet girl.  You are the most amazing blessing and we cannot wait to see what your next month brings.
