4 months old!

Our little girl is 4 1/2 months old.  I can't believe it!!! She is growing so fast.  I love this little bug so much.  My love for her grows more and more each day.  I love being a mom!

• I haven't weighed her recently but my guess would be around 16 lbs.  I'm pretty sure she is still in the 75th percentile for height and weight.
• Loves to play and grab things
• Laughs when you tickle her back
• Has the sweatiest feet (seriously is this normal? haha)
• Started eating rice cereal (the doctor recommended starting her on solids early because of her reflux.  Since it is a thicker consistency it will help her from spitting it up).  
• Doesn't like to be swaddled anymore
• #1 drooler
• Consistently rolls on her side, and can roll on her stomach with a little help (she tends to get her arm stuck underneath her when she does it herself)
• Little chatterbox, constantly cooing 
• Sleeps in her crib at night
• Eats every 4 hours during the day 
• Wakes up one to two times at night still to eat
• Loves to be outside 
• Wakes up every morning at 6:00 am.  No sleeping in with this little munchkin
• Possibly an early teether.. she looks like she has a tooth coming in and has been extra fussy the past couple days



First night sleeping in her crib

First time eating rice cereal 

 

picnic at the park

October 1 was a public holiday (can't remember what holiday it was... they have a lot of public holidays in Australia), so a group of us went to the park for a picnic.  It is starting to feel like summer! Yay! It was 90 degrees so we were hoping to go to the beach after for a swim... but it ended up being pretty windy, so we decided not to.  How cute does Ella look in her swimsuit and hat though?  I am such a sucker for babies in hats.  I think they look so adorable.
