Four Months Old

This month was a hard one for me. I’m not sure if it was my hormones or the simple fact that I’m having a difficult time with how fast time is going by, but month four was a challenge. I feel like at this point everyone expects you to be back to your normal self, but some days I’m just not. One year ago I started growing a human and just four short months ago I brought her into this world. I'm figuring out my new normal, and I know from experience that this takes time, but I forgot how difficult this stage of postpartum can be.  I honestly feel like I just love my family so much that it's overwhelming.  That might sound crazy, but it's the only way I can explain my feelings.  But let's move on to the fun stuff... look how C U T E she is!! 

Likes: 
-Being held
-Music
-Kicking her feet
-Smiling
-Her elephant + lamb toys
-Using her voice
-Outfit changes
-Baths
-Her brother-- big bro has finally started paying attention to her and she loves it!

Dislikes: 
-Being hungry
-Not being held
-Being in the car and not moving

Schedule:We are still all over the place.  Some days she takes cat naps, and other days she sleeps for hours (usually if we're out and about).  At night this girl is a mystery.  She gets up at least twice a night, but sometimes I feed her up to four times a night.  She's cute.  I'm exhausted.   We spend our days playing on the activity mat, working, and watching big brother.  Every day is different, but we make it work!  

Features: Brown hair, with some awkward balding spots, blue eyes, and the chubbiest cheeks that are to die for.  She recently started wearing size 3-6 month clothing and size 2 diapers...hello new wardrobe!  She is currently 13 lbs 13 oz and 24 inches long.  

Milestones:
-Rolling over- both ways!
-Babbling
-Giggles- is there anything better?!
-Sitting up supported
-Holding + munching on toys
-Holding her own small bottle

Firsts:
-Halloween - she started off as a cop to match Harrison's donut costume and then had an outfit change into Princess Rapunzel.
-Thanksgiving
-Aquarium
-Beach 

Challenges:
Lack of sleep.  I would pay good money for a full night's sleep. 

Thoughts:
As much as I feel like I'm struggling with time flying, I am loving watching her interact.  Her smiles and giggles are infectious and I still can't believe she's mine.
