Hope is now 4 Months Old!
A few things about Hope this month:
* she weighs 13 1/2 pounds
*her sleep regression is still on with an early morning feeding
Schedule looks like
3-5 am First feeding
7-8 am Second Feeding
10:30 ish Third Feeding
2-3 pm Fourth Feeding
6-6:30 Fifth Feeding
9:30 Sixth Feeding
*she has almost refused to nurse during the day
*she is a rolling machine starting from back to front
*She wants to be where the action is! She is easily distracted and wants to be with her brother and sister! If she hears their voice she wants to know what's going on:).
*she has refused her binky now for over a month. She prefers her hand or thumb! I hear you sucking it often through the monitor:). First thing you do when we lay you down is squawk a bit and then suck your thumb:).
*She has gotten so strong holding her head up and always wanting to put pressure on her legs to stand and push off of someone.
*You love to smile! Especially at your siblings or when your in the crib. You love playing with toys on your play mat or in your carseat.
*Pops has called you Hopey Lou from the beginning and it stuck:). He also calls you Hopey Loupey Scoopy Dooie.
*Pops also made a song up for you "Hopey Hopey Lou, we love you, you're our baby girl now. Hopey Hopey Lou we love you, you're just the sweetest." It's to the tune of Scooby Doo:).
I think Hope looks like my brother as a baby:).
