4 Months

Josie is 4 months today and man has she grown! This past month she hit so many milestones it was hard to keep up! As soon as I went back to work she started sleeping through the night ( thank you daughter), but of course my other daughter has been up every night struggling with her UTI- lets hope she's feeling better soon.

Anyway, Josie has turned into a bit of a wild ass- not gonna lie. Like any baby she loves to hear herself and has started to scream- literally scream in my ear and she thinks its just the funniest thing ever! Also, she can hold her head up on her own, she is rolling over- mostly stomach to back, and she's soooo close to rolling from her back to her stomach ( she gets stuck on her side). She loves to grab things and shove them in her mouth. She is drooling like a fool and I can see a little tooth bud getting ready to sprout (oh, boy!). She loves loves loves to laugh and is very ticklish on her thighs and belly. She loves to smile at mom and dad and enjoys spending time with us so much, she gets upset when we leave the room. Now, we have to strap her into the bouncy seat because a few times she's almost bounced herself right out of it! Yikes!

This past month also meant we had to get into a new routine. Thankfully, we have an easy baby and she took to it in no time. I get everything ready the night before ( I shower, get my clothes out, pack my lunch and pack her bag) so in the morning, I literally have to brush my teeth, wash my face, feed her and leave. As soon as I get home its a busy few hours with 2 feedings, a nap, making dinner, spending time with Nick and getting ready for the next day.

Today was her 4 month check up which also meant a second round of vaccines. Dr. Niland was very pleased with her height and weight stats and said that she "started out a bit rough" but has come a long way and looks fantastic. It's hard to believe that in only 6 weeks she will start eating fruits and veggies! Wow, how did that happen! Time is just a flying by and we are enjoying ever minute of it. Dr. Niland was also impressed with her motor skills and that she sleeps through the night.

We are so proud of our little girl and can't wait to see what the next month brings!
