Minnie,

Today you are FOUR MONTHS OLD!!! Crazy to think that we found out about you just YESTERDAY one year ago...

Since we have figured out your feeding "issues" (again) and you are eating more and better you have really blossomed into such a fun little friend! We find out tomorrow how much you weigh and we are excited to see your growth!

You recently have become interested in your toys and you will crinkle them and try to get them ALL into your mouth. You are tolerating "tummy time" a little bit better and on Friday night Mimi worked with you to see if we could get you to roll over... Mama doesn't want you to do that TOO quickly because I sure do like telling you to "stay right there" and you do :)

Since we went through your food challenges you started choosing not to sleep through the night anymore... you also thought it would be ok to only take 10 min. naps a couple of times a day and thought that was going fly for a growing girl. This past week Mama became the "sleep nazi" and you have responded BEAUTIFULLY....you are a big fan of your bed now, barely fuss at all and a few times have even gone down for a nap with a smile on your face. That warms my heart. It also makes for a very happy girl when you've slept for 1.5-2 hours at a pop and also makes you a MUCH better eater.

We also got back to you sleeping a few times through the night, even if you were up at 4:54AM which is STILL before 5AM and Mama considers it the middle of the night :)

Your current schedule is up for the day around 5AM, you eat, hang out with Dad until 6:15-6:20 when you want to go back to sleep... you are back in your bed until about 8-8:15 and up and happy hanging out until you eat again around 8:45... we typically get you dressed for the day then and you play with your toys or in your swing until you are ready to go back down for another nap around 10-10:30. This one isn't typically too long but sometimes you sleep until 12 when you get up to eat again... around 1:30 you are back in bed and typically Dad gets to get you out of your crib because you sleep until AFTER he gets home...after that nap you are up for the duration and we play, have dinner, hang out and around 6ish you are ready to eat again and head off to bed.... it is not a schedule that I mind though I would prefer you to sleep past that 5AM feeding :)

I went through the tote of clothes for you this week and pulled out your 6-12 month things. Your 3 month jammies are too small for you and we are expecting some warmer weather soon so you'll need your spring things :)

You have finally realized Rebound exists and will follow him when he hops around the house.... though Daddy is still your favorite BY far and he doesn't mind one bit :) Neither do I :) We are so happy that God picked YOU to be our girl and we look forward to seeing what this NEXT month brings our way in raising you little one!! :)
