Bennett Kate, you turned 4 months old on March 15th and I can't believe it! Throughout this month, we have gotten to see more of your personality start to come out and you are definitely making your presence known and giving your vocal chords some practice with your sweet happy noises. Your big brother is figuring out that you're pretty fun to have around and even play with a little ;) You think he is the funniest thing in the world and have started reaching for him, grabbing on to his face, and squeeling when he acknowledges you. It's the best.
Even though you have been a much different and generally more laid back baby than your big brother, you did stay true to the dreaded sleep regression we experienced with him at the exact same age. Around week 3 of this month, you stripped us of our perfect 12 hour nights of bliss and started waking up a few times a night. It was a pretty rude awakening, but since up until now you've been unbelievable at night, I can suck it up and feed you while being thankful you're mine even in the middle of the night. There were a few multiple night feedings, but usually its once or twice. I'm trying to give you your paci and see if you'll go back to sleep without being fed so usually I only feed you once. We will start sleep training next month if this continues baby girl!
You are still eating every 2 hours and don't want anything to do with a bottle, so we're still spending all day every day together...my girl til the end! We're really getting the hang of nursing in public and honestly, I barely care anymore...we do what we gotta do!
:: Fun Things ::
-We get to do almost everything Liam does, so that means park trips, play dates, and Thursday mornings with Julianne, Smith, Linds and Wrenn (who has LOVED having a baby girl to love on).
-You've developed cradle cap, just like Liam...boo!
-You are rolling all over the place and still loving your play mat. Liam joins you on your mat pretty often and educates you about colors, animals, his favorite songs etc.
-You are napping on the go a lot but when we're home, you sleep in your bassinet and the biggest change this month...the sleep sack! You are so much happier not having to fight your way out of a swaddle and even though it took a little bit to get used to the freedom, you seem to love it now!
-You have become SUPER vocal, when you get excited you scream a happy scream, stick your tongue out and smile and coo and win everyone over in an instant!
You are still the best natured baby in the world and I am loving every second of being your mommy!
