Happy 4 Months, Sydney Kate! This has been such a fun month watching you grow! And man, have you grown!!! We just fall more and more in love with you each day.
We had a lot of fun this month! We took a quick weekend trip to Oklahoma so we could go to the Pumpkin Patch with the family. We picked a cute little pumpkin out for you and took tons of pictures. We had tons of fun with the family. You have been so happy this month. You hardly ever cry. I think your (silent) reflux is just about completely gone, which helps with your happiness. :) Your first Halloween and you were the cutest flamingo ever! We got you dressed up, went to Chipotle for dinner than came back and handed out candy. Everyone who came over couldn't stop talking about how cute you were!
This month...
* you really developed an interest in books. You love looking at the pictures and being read to
* you're still talking to us. We have "conversations" in the car all the time and you make the funniest sounds...like you're really trying to tell me something. I love it!
* we dressed alike for the first time. We wore our Mama/ Little shirts and I loved it...I'm sure you did too!
* you got sick for the first time. Not really sick, but you definitely had your first runny nose and were congested! Nothing a little saline spray, the nose frieda, and some RC in the diffuser couldn't handle.
* you rolled over from your back to your stomach in your pack n play. You only did this one night and probably because I swaddled you with one arm out, but regardless, you did it!
*you're still loving your activity mat! Daddy just put together your bouncer and you LOVE that too!
* you're still drooling a lot...but the doctor says no teeth anytime soon!
* you survived your first time change. I tried to keep you up later the week before to help with the transition, so either that worked or it didn't phase you one bit.
You are 13 lbs 9 oz (37th percentile) and 24 1/4 inches long (38th percentile) You still comfortably fit into your 0-3 month clothing but I am transitioning you into 3-6 months even though they are still a little big...mainly because its getting cooler and it's time to put the summer clothes away. It made me really sad to put away you're NB and 0-3 month clothes in the rubbermaid. You're growing so fast! You are still wearing size 1 diapers, but probably only for a few more days. We've decided when this pack is done, you're starting size 2. You are still drinking breastmilk during the day and formula at night. The formula seems to keep you full a little longer. This month brought on the 4 month sleep regression. Pretty much this entire month you've decided sleeping 10-11 hours at night wasn't your thing. You're waking up in the night sometime between 1-3am and eating, then you'll sleep until my alarm goes off. You love to stand and bounce. People tell us all the time they just can't believe how strong you are! You can sit assisted or leaning against something. You've even held a front leaning sit for 45 seconds all on your own (Gigi witnessed this on FaceTime)
A Day in the Life of Sydney (at 4 months)
You wake up between 5:30-6:30 each morning (depending on when you got up in the night) and eat. You lay with your daddy for a little bit while I get ready. You've started falling asleep on his chest and you really love that...so much I think that's why you're not wanting to stay in your pack n play in the mornings. :/ After I'm done, I get you dressed for the day and we head out to school. You are usually eating around 12 oz while you're at day care and taking two 2-3 hour naps. I try to pick you up as soon as I can leave school around 4:00 and we come home. We love to cuddle not he couch and then you're hungry again around 4:30-5:00. After eating, you play on your Activity Mat or in the Jumper and cuddle some more. You'll usually fall asleep while we hold you for a short cat nap in the evening. You eat again between 7:00-7:30, then we just relax before bedtime. Our 8:00 bedtime routine is still going strong. You fall asleep pretty quickly and are out until that middle of the night wake up. :)
You are seriously the best thing ever. For real...You're everything I never knew I always wanted. Everything. Love you, sweet girl!
