Kaylin 4 Months

I know I say this every month, but I can't believe Kaylin is 4 months! 

Weight:11.6
Length: 25 1/2in

Diet: Still eats every 2-3 hours, but closer to 3 than 2 which makes mama's life alot easier! Just last week I started letting her sleep until she woke up on her own at night. She still seems to be gaining great! And eats more when she does eat in the middle of the night. 

Sleep: I usually give her a bath between 8-9, then swaddle her and feed her and she falls right to sleep. I just started letting her sleep until she wakes up on her own, she usually sleeps 6-8 hours before waking up to eat, and then another 3-5 before waking up again. No matter what time she woke up to eat last,  she is up for the day between 7-8 when we start getting up and moving.  We finally figured out nap time! I swaddle her and feed her in our room and lay her on her tummy. She usually gets at least one 2 hour nap and 1-2 30 minute nap. 


Mood: Very sweet and happy most of the time. When she gets sleepy she does become a fussy  mama's girl. 
Activities: Usually likes to lay on her playmat on her back or tummy. She has started rolling over more, and likes to roll on her side then back to tummy or back(whichever way she started) which gets her moving and ooching all over the place! She loves her swing, she will just talk and talk to us while she plays. She especially likes when we talk back to her! She loves hair! She is constantly grabbing a handful of my hair, I think it soothes her because she seems to do it more when she's sleepy or fussy. She has started grabbing things, her clothes, our clothes, blankets,  and burp rags. She doesn't usually reach out for things yet but definitely knows how to grab hold if they are accessible. Has started laughing a little usually she just smiles and says "ha!" but every once in awhile we get a sweet giggle out of her. Can't wait to hear more of those! She sucks on her fingers ALL THE TIME!! I try to pull them out sometimes so she doesn't do it so much. She is starting to recognize people, if she's happy she'll let anyone hold her, but if she's sleepy or fussy she just looks at them and cries, as if to say, "You're not my mom!" I just bought a Solly Baby wrap and LOVE it! Wore her in it for about 5 hours at TLC's 15th Annual Easterfest while I *helped* cook 10,000 hot dogs(obviously I wasn't able to help much) she took 2 naps in it and was so happy! Its super comfy to wear.

Clothes: Still wearing some 0-3 but about half of it no longer fits so we've started digging into the 3-6 to see what fits. I love going to a new size and seeing all the new clothes! Why can't I get new clothes every few months? Still wearing size 2 disposable diapers at night and when we're out and about. But after we finish this box(it takes a while when you only use 1-2 a day!) I'll probably buy size 3. Still wearing cloth diapers at home. 
As she has been moving around more recently, I've been thinking about the fact that she will be mobile soon! I don't know if I'm ready for that! Watching her grow is so much fun,  I love telling Justin the "new thing" she did that day when he gets home from work.
