Cecelia at Four Months

Happy four months (on the 19th), baby girl! You are growing so fast. You officially weigh 15 pounds 4 ounces and you're 25 inches long. Your pediatrician thinks you'll be taller than your momma at this rate (yay!). You are changing right before our eyes. I swear almost every day you discover something new. This month you are obsessed with your hands. They are absolutely always in your mouth. One finger, three...your whole fist. I'm pretty sure you're going to be a thumb sucker.

You're also pretty into your toes, too. Especially when you find yourself sans diaper (those cloth diapers are big!) and you can actually reach them! Your absolute favorite thing is still your jumperoo. I swear you are going to bounce your way right out of it the way you go at it. The higher the better you little daredevil. You are THIS close to rolling over completely but still get hung up on your side. I often find you lounging on your side, cooing away at whatever is in front of you.

Speaking of that, you are SO into Summit this month. You can't take your eyes off her when she's within sight. You love to smile and even laugh out loud at her antics. I can tell your going to be best friends. She doesn't quite know what she's in for, I'm afraid!

 

You might not be rolling over quite yet but you are sitting on your own! You're still a bit floppy and unreliable, but you can do it. Makes momma so proud. You aren't winning any napping contests these days however. Baby girl you just don't seem all that interested in sleeping during the day. Nights aren't a whole lot better either. So we started "sleep training" this weekend. Night one wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected. You cried for about 20 minutes before falling asleep on your own. Night two only brought less than 10 minutes of fussing. And tonight...none! You just "talked" a bit to your sleep sheep and fell asleep after one short visit from dad to settle you down. You figured it out pretty quick smarty pants. Hopefully we'll all be getting better sleep now. Momma surely needs it! The weather is finally starting to improve, it is officially spring. We get out several times a week for a good walk or jog in the BOB stroller and we've been hiking twice. You love it. The first time we went hiking we put you in the baby backpack but I think you might be just a wee bit to small for it yet. A few more months and you'll be ready for the outback! We can't wait, so much fun to be had. Speaking of fun, we took our first family vacation this month. We headed south to visit your fairy godmother Caitlin and Jared in Washington, D.C. You might not nap well, but you love car rides and slept the entire 6 hour drive, both ways! It was a great little getaway and you were a super babe, even with the little cold (your first!) you got along the way.

We love you so much little Cecelia. Can't wait to see what month five brings! xooo
