4 Months

So big!

Audrey is 4 months old as of yesterday at 1328! I say it every month, but wow I cannot believe its been 4 months already.

I think that this month has been the most exciting one yet. Audrey is such a ham! She is always smiling and squealing. She is such a sweet baby, she is going to be my little sweet heart. She is always "talking." She squeals so loud you can hear it in the basement. She has giggled in her sleep since she was a few weeks old, but now she full on laughs. It is absolutely the best noise I have ever heard. It makes my heart melt every time I hear those belly laughs. She has started teething and puts everything she can grab into her mouth! This morning she got a hold of a spool of ribbon and was gnawing on it. Her hands are always in her mouth! If she is not sleeping, she is chewing on her hands. I have to switch her bib out 2-3 times a day because she drools constantly. She is always covered in slobber. I am hoping she cuts a tooth soon, I think she will look so cute with little teeth! :))

LOL!

 She goes to bed between 8:30-9 every night. She was sleeping all night until 7 am for about 2 weeks. Now she is waking up around 2-3 am. She isn't fussy, she just wants to be awake. She talks and sucks on her fingers. As much as I love hearing her sweet coos, I need to get her back to sleeping all night. It could always be worse though :) I am just enjoying the time because she changes and learns something new every day! I can't imagine missing these special moments, so it hurts my heart to think that Brandon is missing all of these firsts. He will be around to see her take her first steps though!

HAHAHA.

-Weight: 13 lbs...she has only gained 3 lbs since her 2 month appt! But she is my chunky monkey :) She is in the 58th percentile for weight.
-Height: 26.5 inches...she has grown 7 inches since birth! I can't get over that. She is in the 96th percentile for heigh!!
-Eating 5 oz every 3 hours except at night. We switched to Similac Sensitive this month because she was having bad gas pains. She is much better now!
-She goes for 4 month shots tomorrow! :(

We get to start baby food tonight! I am so excited!! :) I am looking forward to this coming month and seeing all of her new changes, and for her first Christmas!!

On an unrelated note....I had my check up at 8 weeks post partum. I have lost 26 lbs since that doctors appt. In 9 weeks! I still have a ways to go to get where I want to be but I am feeling great! I gained way more weight than I ever wanted to while I was pregnant, but whatever. I got to eat lots of yummy food guilt free :) Oh, and my hair is shedding like CRAZY! I have always had thick hair that sheds alot, but its out of control. My poor child always has some of my hair on her. I heard that happens after pregnancy, but geesh!
