Crew 4 Months and FOOOOOOD!

Crew Baby Bear - 

Is it possible for me to be MORE obsessed with you??? I dont think so! I probably kiss you 200 times a day! I also spend a good part of my day trying to get you to laugh as good as your Daddy can. He'll be glad to know he still wins! Eric and I have had so many conversations about whether 2 kids is all we will have...and more days than not, we say that our family is complete. So that means I have to cherish every second of the baby moments. My favorite part of the day is when you first wake up...you are a little snuggly, but so alert. We walk and find Daddy, and your eyes get so big and you crack the biggest smile, it seriously makes our day! You are getting to the point where you don't want to be alone at all. Gone are the days where you don't see me in your pereferral (sp?) vision. You lock eyes no matter where I am, and if Im not walking TOWARDS you, you get MAD! You love to be talked to, love to watch your brother do anything, and love to be standing. You have been rolling for a little over a month now. I believe the first day you rolled over was May 24th. Now you roll almost anytime I put you on your tummy. You love to talk to me, and sadly, are a little bit of a scaredy-cat! The slightest noise might make you jump and cry, and your bottom lip shoots out so quick I dont even have time to react before you start crying! I learned the hard way that you are no longer a fan of the hair dryer! LOL

You have now officially had your first taste of FOOD! We tried cereal for the first time, and you are definitely a fan. You try to eat your bib the majority of the time, but still manage to end up eating quite a bit. :) We had to switch to oatmeal bc Rice Cereal doesn't sit well with you. 

At age 4 months, you: 

- Wear size 2 diapers

- Wear 3-6 Gap, 6 & 9 Month carters, and 9 month pajamas. Size 2 shoes. Most of what you wear is onesies and bibs. 

- Sleep 7:30 to 6:00, eat then back to sleep til about 7:30. You have decided to wake up several times in between so I will come put your binky back in, but Im just about to let you cry it out instead! :) 

- We still swaddle both arms, but you break out most nights, so Im working towards just swaddling one arm. 

- Eat 5 oz every 3 hours still, plus 2 tbs of cereal once a day

- Love to hear yourself scream! 

- Gavin feeds you your bottle, and gives you your Bink! It so cute! 

- Takes 3-4 naps of about 30 min a day. We usually get 1 hr long nap, but no promises! Most naps happen in your bed or carrier
