Lindsay 4 Months


I can't believe my baby girl is 4 months today! She's growing up too fast! She is still doing pretty well on a schedule especially eating wise she has 5 bottles a day which means she still eats every 3 hours. She has 8 oz for her first bottle but then 6 oz the rest of the day. She wakes up between 7:30 and 8 every morning. She goes to bed around 7:30 and 8 each night. Her naps have been very hit or miss lately except when daddy is home to swaddle her! She sleeps so good swaddled! When she takes a good afternoon nap it ranges from 3-4 hours. She still takes a morning catnap usually in her carseat if we are out and an evening catnap either in the swing or someone's arms. She does really well out and about. She likes facing forward in her stroller but can't fall asleep that way so if she is tired she will fuss. She only gets fussy when she's tired/hungry. She has also been teething I think so last week she was fussier then normal. She is wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. I would guess she weighs around 12 or 13 lbs but we go to the doc Monday so we will know for sure then! She just started eating rice cereal and did really well. I think she is a little indifferent though she doesn't get over excited but doesn't dislike it either. She gets it once a day in the evening with her dinner bottle. I am trying to line her bottles up with mealtimes gradually so that it will transition her to table food eventually. She has a breakfast bottle which soon she will get cereal along with that, a lunch bottle, after nap or afternoon bottle, dinner bottle, then one before bed. She is really paying attention to people and she loves to watch her brother. She is starting to be attached to me though..she doesn't cry too much when transferred to other people but she is starting that some. She hasn't rolled over yet but has come close a number of times. We are just enjoying having this precious girl in our lives!
Update: Lindsay rolled over right after I typed this! Ofcourse I wasn't in the room but she was on her back on her mat and when I went to check on her she was on her tummy! Yay big girl! I think this little girl is going to be crawling before we know it! Scary!
