This sweet angel baby is four months old. I absolutely love her to pieces! She is definitely not a newborn anymore, but still my sweet little baby!
She is very laid back (thank goodness), but when she wants something, you better bring it. Or she will pull out the big guns.
Lillian Lindley at FOUR months:
-Still nursing. Going strong and good. She can go between 3-3.5 hours flexibly. She mostly nurses, but doesn't mind a bottle. Planning on starting rice around 6 months if she can make it that long.
-Napping has greatly improved. Takes two long naps during the day and two short naps towards the end of the day. Night time sleep is still inconsistent. But she is going about 8.5 hours before she nurses and then back down for 2-3 hours. I'll take it.
- Wearing 3 months and 3-6 month stuff. Size one diapers. She has some major feet on her. I don't love to put shoes on little babies, but I want to get her foot sized just to know. She's grown out of all her socks.
- She's got some ears on her. Bless it.
- Rolling all over the place. Tummy to back and back to tummy. Her little stomach is still small and immature, so she will spit up some if she lays on stomach too long. Its not painful to her, so ped wasn't concerned.
- Hands are in the mouth all the time. Literally. And with drool everywhere. I know that child isn't teething yet?
- Still working on bumbo sitting. I'm not really pushing it. That thing looks uncomfortable. Meka suggested getting out the exersaucer. I'm just not ready yet. And I don't think she is either.
- Smiles all the time. Such a happy girl!
- Loves to watch big brother and the dogs run around like crazy people.
- Still using the bouncy seat and swing a good bit. They are very helpful when you just need two hands. But if she is too upset, neither will help calm her down. When that happens, she likes to get in the nook of my neck and snuggle to sleep. Sweetest thing ever!
- We had her 4 month checkup last week. Her stats: 12 lbs 5 oz (15%) length 25 1/4 inches (80%) head 40 cm (40%). It was confirmed that she is a little bit. Both the Lindleys and the Zitos have some long and leans, and Lillian (and Hudson) will probably both be in that category.
- Loves kisses and being tickled.
- Such a wonderful and perfect addition to our family!
My sweet and happy girl
This face makes me laugh
That smile and those ears! I die!
Thanking God daily, hourly, minutely for this sweet angel baby!
Such a joy!
