Month 3 & 4 with Addi

As always time keeps on tickin' away without warning. 2 more month have gone by and our Addison is 4 months old!

Several highlights are- She rolled from her belly to her back during month 3. She moved to a 4 hours schedule and dropped her dream-feed (10:30pm) at 4 months. She also got her 2 bottom teeth at 4 months. One popped through and then 2 days later the other popped through! She was not a fussy teether. She did ok! She just drooled A LOT and always has her hands in her mouth. Once I figured out she was getting teeth, we started Tylenol and that seemed to help her sleep better. She also found her feet and they went straight to her mouth! I don't know how babies are so flexible :o)

Her last feeding is around 8pm and she doesn't wake up until 7:30-8am! During her appt. she weighed in at 16.4lbs (95%) and is 26 inches long (off the charts). She was a trooper with her shots, only crying until I could get a bottle in her mouth. We are going to wait and start solids with Addi at 6 months.

She continues to be a sweet natured baby. She laughs out loud with a precious giggle. She is NOT a good napper and fights taking her bottle - Lord only knows why! A perfect day in her schedule would look like this:

8am - Wake, Bottle, & Play
10am - Nap
12pm- Wake, Bottle, & Play
2pm - Nap
4pm - Wake, Bottle & Play
6pm - Nap
7:30pm- Wake, bedtime routine (bath, book, bottle)
8:30 - Bedtime

While this rarely ever happens the way I would like it to, we manage just fine :) She has begun taking "cat naps" along the range of 45 mins - 1 hour. Hopefully it's just a teething/growing type phase!

She continues to love her sister and McKenna loves her too! I pray every day that they will be best of friends for life! It won't be long until our little chunk of love is sitting up by herself! She does not like to be cradled like a baby anymore...she wants to be sitting up straight in the middle of whatever is going on! She likes her swing, playmat, bumbo seat, and exersaucer! She likes to be sung to and read to. She's a keeper and we love her more every day.


First bath with big sister...won't be doing this again for a while :) Too stressful for Mommy! Addi's cheeks got chapped with all of her drool so that's why they're a rosy :) She worked hard for those 2 teeth!


Sisters and best friends!!! Aunt Amy, Dave's oldest sister, made the girls matching dresses! They are oh-so-cute!
