Cailin- 4 months old!

Happy 4 months Cailin! That's a third of a year! In your short little life, you've already lived in two different places. You are growing and changing every day.

-We haven't been to the doctor yet, but you are a very chunky babe. You wear mostly 3-6 month clothes, and will be in 6-12 month clothes soon. You wear size 3 diapers at night and cloth diapers during the day. You couldn't care less.

-You have milk 5 times a day. You have not yet started solid foods and don't seem too interested. You spit out your vitamin drops almost immediately. Either it's really gross or you just haven't had enough practice yet (which is likely due to my forgetting to give you the drops most days).

-You continue to be a fantastic sleeper. You nap around 9 and 1 for a couple hours and take a catnap in the evenings. You generally sleep from about 7pm-7am which is unreal. You loved to be swaddled but grew too big for the swaddle a couple days ago. You're now sleeping in a sleep sack but I don't put your arms in the sleeves. You generally outsmart me by morning but this seems to help you fall asleep. Your bedtime routine is bath (where you'd stay all day if we let you), milk, story, Twinkle Twinkle, and prayers. Lately, you've gone to bed without crying. You immediately turn your head and nuzzle it into your purple blankee. You hate the pacifier now. It seems to offend you when I offer it. Thankfully, we won't have to kick that habit later.

-You absolutely love your big sister and you enjoy/endure all of her shenanigans. When Charlotte gets in your face, my response is "Back up Charlotte, you'll hurt her," but then you squeal and smile with pure delight. You even like it when Charlotte tackles you. Charlotte loves you too. She shows it by checking on you, getting excited when you wake up, and bringing you books/toys to play with.

-You are a very active kid. You roll from front to back and from back to side. You scootch when you're on your belly but it's unintentional.

-You are constantly smiling. Friends and strangers frequently comment on how happy you are. You giggle from the minute I walk in to get you in the morning until the second you've snuggled into your blankee at night. You like to be tickled on your tummy and your toes. Your favorite toys include a talking stuffed dog, your swing, and baby dolls.

Cailin, you are such a blessing. We are thankful for the past 4 months and pray for many more to come. We 3 love you very much.

EDITED 4/6/2012:
You have changed a lot in just a couple weeks!
-You have one little tooth poking through! (bottom right)
-You've rolled from back to front (though noone's actually seen you do it yet)
-You've sampled solid foods! We skipped rice cereal and you've enjoyed applesauce and sweet potatos.
