Emma is 4 months old today! Holy Smokes that is crazy. I feel like I just had her. Can time slow down just a little bit please?
However, I do love this age a little more than the newborn stage. She is so much fun to be around! She loves playtime, and yesterday she laughed for the first time!! It was so precious! Overall she is a really happy baby. She only really fusses when she is hungry or tired (don't we all?).
I wish she would be sleeping a little better at night at this point, but it's just a work in progress. She's usually up every 4-5 hours to eat, but I guess I would probably get pretty hungry at night too if all I ate was breastmilk.
She has rolled over a couple times from stomach to back, but she's not doing this very consistently yet, but she's getting stronger and stronger.
Emma's likes at 4 months
-Breastmilk
-Her changing table mat
-Fart noises
-Standing (with help of course)
-Her play mat
-Cooing and making lots of noise
-Sucking on her fists
-Pacifiers (she likes these just a little too much!)
-Bathtime (she loves her baths)
-Car rides (they are good for sleeping)
-Nap time
-Looking around at everything (so much in fact that she has a wonderful bald spot in the back of her head)
-Being carried around, especially over your shoulder so she can look around
- Kicking her legs
-Her crib (for the most part)
-Snuggling with mom and dad
-Sleeping in mom and dad's bed (very last resort for us, but she likes it...)
-Her Bumbo
-Her Swing (she still loves her swing, for naps or playtime, best thing EVER!)
-Watching the TV (all the movement and colors!)
-Daycare
Emma's Dislikes
-Having her snot suctioned out of her nose (she absolutely hates this, hardest I have heard her cry)
-Being hungry (better feed her pronto once she decides she is hungry! No patience at all :D)
-Being cold
-Tummy time (She likes it for 5 minutes or so and then starts getting mad)
-Having us wipe her left eye clean (that eye likes to get really gunky for some reason..)
-Holding still so mom can trim her fingernails
We have Emma's 4 month check up on Wednesday, so we will get to see how much she weighs and how long she is getting. However, we also have to deal with shots again...I'll let you know how that goes.
But anyway, here's Emma at 4 months and growing like a weed!!!
