4 months old!

Taylor is 4 months old and oh my goodness what a joy she is! She's so interactive and silly! She loves to laugh and I've even seen her laugh so hard tears rolled down her face. She's soooooo laid back and easy going. She loves to be talked to and seems to love kids. She'll smile at any youngster, though adults she must know first. :) She's begun to be more aware of who's holding her and when she wants mommy, her bottom lip comes out and she lets whoever is holding her know that she wants mommy NOW. That rarely happens unless she's tired and then she wants to snuggle with me usually. Speaking of snuggling, oh my goodness, she's such a snuggle bug! She loves to have her face pressed against ours. She's content to lay her head on my chest and watch the world from there. She could be snuggled all day I think. When she's sleepy, she nuzzles her head into you and it's SOOOOO sweet! She sleeps with a blanket beside or on her face and has to have a paci to fall asleep, though sometimes she'll fall asleep nursing or with her thumb in her mouth.

Smiley Girl weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces (30th percentile), is 23.75 inches long (39th percentile) and her head circumference is 15.25 which is 43rd percentile. She's just graduated into 3-6 month clothes though they are a bit big on her. She's still a petite little thing for sure!

In the morning when she wakes up, she talks and coos. If you don't come to get her, then she starts to whimper. As long as you get her out of bed and change her diaper, she's content as can be, even without breakfast! :) Speaking of breakfast, we are going to wait a few months to start rice cereal or any other solids. She's gaining weight well as an exclusively breasst fed baby and since her tummy issues are still a bit perplexing, we don't want to add in another variable.
Taylor talks to her toys and it's so sweet! I love to hear her coo and squeal at them!

She has found her hands and fingers and often will just stare at her fingers and wiggle them. She's good at reaching for things and can grasp them and pull them to her mouth now. She's a big fan of the johnny jump up already and giggles if you bounce her in it.
She's eating around 8am, 12pm, 3/4pm, 7/8pm, and again at 11pm or 12am. She doesn't seem to need the last feeding anymore, but I enjoy the snuggle time with her. :) I think the days are numbered till she no longer wants anything to eat. She's already down to about 3 minutes of nursing at that last feeding. She takes a bottle beautifully, although now that we've got the yeast monster under control, nursing is much easier and so much more enjoyable! The bottles are less and less these days!

Taylor's favorite positions are sitting up and standing and although she's happy laying down and playing, she'd much rather sit or stand.
Super sweet kiddo, this one, and oh my she loves her brother!
I love all her faces and expressions!
Happy 4 month birthday little one!
