four months





^ She wasn't totally feeling all the photos!

Size: 14.95 lbs (61%) and 25.2" (75.5%). Wearing size 3 diapers. There are a few 3 month pants that still fit, otherwise she's in 3-6 to some size 9.

Eating: Breastfeeding is still going really well, other than Ellie distracting her sometimes and getting sleepy fast if it's too close to when she should be napping/bedtime. And Steven gave her a bottle a few times this last month and it's still kind of hit and miss for her. She's quite picky about the milk in the bottle, how you hold her, etc. - she doesn't make it easy for Steven.

Sleep: Naps are getting more predictable - yay! She usually wakes between 5 - 7am for a diaper change and feeding, then goes back down 2 more times in crib. Then she's usually ready for a nap, 11:30am/12:30pm. We start her off in crib, but if she wakes during that afternoon nap, we usually end up holding her till she's done sleeping and that's been around 3:30/4. Then, she's ready for her bedtime routine at 6 (or earlier if she woke earlier from her last nap) and goes down between 6:30-7pm. AND she sleeps for an average of 10 hours straight. There are those rare nights though that she wakes at a random early time, due to hitting the crib with her feet and/or dirty diaper. Curious if the typical 4 month sleep regression will hit her much...wish us luck, because we've been getting some good sleep!

Milestones/Accomplishments:
- Rolling from back to tummy!!! She had been trying for less than a week, then all of a sudden one day she did it and kept doing it! Granted, the days following she kind of got less busy with that and just hangs out unless you encourage the rolling with a little nudge ; ) same with rolling from tummy to back
- Laughed a couple times one day, but she stopped doing that
...she seems to like teasing us with these big milestones!
-Showing interest in grabbing toys and kind of does sometimes

Likes:
- Crunching up when you're changing her diaper...which makes it quite difficult for us!
- Watching you eat and drink. She'll stare that utensil and cup down!
- Grabbing hair and she's got a good grip - yikes!
- Watching shows. However, we don't let her watch but for a few seconds.

Dislikes:
- Being put down for a diaper change/on a blanket/floor for a minute if she's really tired. But she can usually be calmed down fast if you talk to her or give her the pacifier or of course pick her back up.
- If she wakes or gets woken up before she's really ready to get up.
There's not much to put in this section. Paige is usually a pretty chill, happy girl if she has a full belly and is well rested!

Additional things I want to remember:
The way she grabs the hair tie I wear around my wrist. The way she stares and stares at Ellie and gets excited/happy when she talks to her. How she moves her whole body when she's happy/smiling.
