4 months...

Caroline turned 4-months-old on Tuesday! What a fun month this has been =) This has been a big month, first time turning over, first teeth, first real giggles, first music and story times, and more! Her personality is starting to show more and more and I just love it! She is such a happy, content baby, but definitely let's you know when she wants some attention. She loves to talk and has gotten very loud lately. She has found her feet and loves to lay on the floor and roll side to side holding her feet. Her hands are c.o.n.s.t.a.n.t.l.y. in her mouth because of her teeth (poor baby), so her fingers are always slobbery and red haha. She is definitely becoming quite the daddy's girl! She just stares so sweetly at Greg and he's the only one that can get really giggles from her! We made a trip to NC just the two of us this month, and she did wonderfully! We are having so much fun with our sweet girl and are loving watching her grow and change each day!

4 Month Stats-
Weight- 13 lb 6 oz (32%)
Height- 24 3/4in (67%)

Milestones-
  • First two teeth (bottom two)- March 8!
  • Rolled over tummy to back...but only has done this once, but I'll count it anyway =)
  • Laughing
  • Found her feet (not really a milestone, but it's cute lol)
Randoms for this month:

  • She love to "yell" at us, especially if we have our backs turned to her. Then when we turn around she gives us the biggest smiles!
  • We've had a lot of trouble with sleeping, but we think it's just the teething
  • Her eyes are still very blue and her hair is strawberry blonde
  • She love to suck on her index fingers
  • She is such an easy baby and does great on errands and at story time and music time
  • She still loves to be swaddled to sleep
  • Has started to prop her foot up on my shoulder/chest and holding my thumb while she nurses- so sweet!
  • Loves to be held up in the air then have kisses blown on her belly
  • Has really started noticing the dogs this month and turns to look at them

Favorite memories from this month:
  • Hearing her really laugh for the first time
  • Greg has spent a lot of time with her this month while I've run errands, photoshoots, appointments, etc. But last weekend he took her out for a daddy/daughter breakfast...I thought it was so cute =)
(I'll add favorite pics from the month in the morning)

Teething...

Got teeth?
Needless to say, I am beyond behind in blogging- oops. To say things have been a bit crazy around here is a bit of an understatement. Teething has hit this household with a vengeance and it has been no fun for anyone, especially our girl! We knew she would be an early teether because the doctor even told us when I took her in at 3 months for not sleeping that she was starting to teeth, however I didn't expect any to pop up for a while. Well I was wrong. Caroline's first two teeth made their appearance on March 8 (3.5 months old)! I thought that once they broke through the gums it would be smooth sailing, but again I was wrong lol.We have been dealing with some crazy sleep! It has been so hard to see her hurting! A few things that have been a lifesaver have been Hyland's Teething Tablets , this teether, frozen washcloths, her self-feeder with cubes of frozen breastmilk, and of course, infant Tylenol. Tomorrow I will write up her 4-month-old post, but for now I will leave you with a few pictures of her enjoying her "momsicle" haha!
