Adeline - 4 Months

Stats:

Height: 25 inches (72%)
Weight: 16 lbs 7 oz  (87%)
Head Circumference: 16.75 inches (93%)
Diapers: Size 3 (dem thighs would not allow for one more day in size 2! :) )
Clothes: 6 month

You are gaining weight and growing like a champ girl! Keep it up!

Sleep: Three naps a day (one long mid-day nap). Sleeping very well at night, usually only waking once or twice to eat. This is just a slight regression from last month, but not bad at all!! You are still a phenomenal sleeper compared to your big brother! :)

You are still nursing only. You will take a bottle of breast milk if mama is away. You also like a pacifier to help you fall asleep.

Your personality can be described as HAPPY. Little one, you give up smiles to everyone who gives one to you. You giggle and grin all the time. One of my favorite things to do is pick you up after a long nap, you just light up when you see me! It melts me.

Just a quick clip of you trying so hard to play with your bunny! (password: Cooper)

These little videos may seem uneventful and boring (gasp!) to some, but to me, they are so precious. Our babies change quickly. They are kids for a long time (in comparison). But sweet little babies? Just a blink of an eye.

Lately, you have taken to watching everything your big brother does. You seem to be very frustrated that you can not grab the toys that he is playing with, although you try your hardest to do so!




You play so well independently. The other day, while I was getting ready, you were playing on your activity mat and you could not stop giggling at yourself. It was the sweetest sound.

Every stage has its positives and negatives, but this stage may just be my favorite (of course I love everything about my kiddos, but you know what I mean...:) ) . Your little personality is shining through, you still love to snuggle and fall asleep on me, you will go to other people easily so mama can have a break without having to hear that urgent scream for "MAAAAAMAAAA", you are not on the move, therefore, I can safely put you down and you don't scramble off into trouble. It is crazy how short lived this stage is in the grand scheme of things. I am soaking up each minute of it with you, little AJ.

I love you so much baby girl. 

One of these days, I will get your beautiful smile and dimple on camera!
