Four Months

Mia just hit four months and she is finally starting to sleep all night! For the last few weeks she had a stubborn stuffed up nose which made sleeping extra hard for her. She was waking up 4 or more times a night. She also didn't want to eat much, she often only ate half as much as she normally would. But she is finally over the cold and seems to be eating and sleeping much better over the last week.

Here are the latest things she's been up to: rolling over, playing in her exersaucer, grabbing things and holding on, watching her older brother play (she loves watching him run around, we think she is wishing she could get up and play too), putting things in her mouth, drooling (buckets, like her big brother did), sitting in her bebe pod chair, and talking/cooing/squealing up a storm. She also does something that her older brother hardly EVER did during his first year of life - nap in a crib! We've been trying to make a conscious effort to put her in her crib when she starts falling asleep for a nap and she actually sleeps better this way. Carter never wanted to nap in his crib and when he did, it lasted maybe 45 minutes if we were lucky. Mia is a champ in the crib for nap time, we hope this only gets better as we do it more and more. Our daycare lady is extremely excited, she too remembers how hard it was to get Carter to sleep anywhere for his naps when he was a baby.

Ta-Da!

Carter and Mia also started taking baths together. Carter loves the company but Mia does not exactly love all the splashing and yelling that takes place. I suppose she'll get used to it!

She also needs to get used to the wildness that occurs during the "dry-off" stage.
