4 Month Birthday

June-bug-

You're 4 months old!

 The only smile - I could grab at 7am!

 With your siblings - if we put you on your feet, you always "stick the landing!"

 Maevy wanted her own picture...generally your fingers are always in your mouth. I'm expecting a tooth pretty soon.

 You don't stay on your back long...on your tummy -

 Notice all these pictures...include 1 kid moving/blurry!

 Looking at big sis-

 Looking at big bro - sticking his tongue out!

 By yourself...about to roll over again -

4 Month Notes - 

- Just recently, night time as gotten way easier. We let you fuss/cry out the 10ish wake-up time a couple weeks ago, and now you are going to bed by 6:15p most nights and not waking up till 1:30 or 2 - which is great. We'll phase out the 2am feeding in the coming weeks.

- Also going to sleep - whether for bed or naps is super easy. You love your crib and being on your stomach. I just put you in bed...and there's not even a whimper. You find your fingers and go to sleep. I was even impressed this week - when I ventured out with the big kids to an outdoor movie - after you'd been sleeping for an hour. You were awake while we were out, but when we got home, you went right back to sleep without a fuss. You've also been great when we stay out "late" for Carter's baseball practice...and go straight to sleep when we get home at 6:45ish.

- Spitting up is getting a little better. I nursed only last weekend - and you seemed pretty content with a little less spit up. 

In general - I think my wish is coming true and you are a pretty chill baby - who is able to go with the flow. Thanks, buggie. 

In the coming month  - 

- We introduce food!

- Dress you up for Halloween! Got any ideas what you'll be?

- And Mommy actually leaves you for 48 hours - yikes!

Love you buggie!
