Grace was/is an easy baby in a lot of ways. She's four months old now and is still hovering right at the 50th percentile in everything. She was 13lbs 11oz at her appt yesterday and 24 inches long. I am planning to wait a while to introduce solids, although i was given the go ahead if needed. I figure that I'd like to nurse her as long as possible and since we're already struggling in that department solids could just make it worse. She was on a perfect babywise schedule and then she turned about 2.5 months old and Caden started preschool, which meant all of her morning naps were in the car and therefore just short catnaps. Since that time I've just let it fly! :) She takes 3 solid naps each day. Two in the morning and one around 1pm. The two morning naps are typically short and the 1pm nap is usually at least 2 hours. She stays awake for long periods of time, usually at least 1.5 hours and often 2 full hours of wake time. At night she has been ready to sleep through the night for some time. If she wakes it is usually b/c she's come unswaddled. She's stuck in a 4/5am rut, but I'm not ready to break her of that just because I need that feeding for my supply. I often times will actually wake her during the 4 or 5am hour if I happen to wake up and realize she has not woken yet. We put her to bed at 7pm and do a dreamfeed at 9pm.
She's rolling from tummy to back, although she doesn't do it much anymore like she did at first (she was about 3 months when she started). She usually just sucks on her hands when she is on her tummy now. She loves her thumb and fingers. She alternates between which she is in the mood to suck on. She is a very happy baby, always smiling and her eyes light up before she smiles, just like her lip turns down before she starts to cry. She has beautiful, light blue eyes and dark curly hair that just keeps growing and is a mess to tame! She's definitely started to find her voice lately and is cooing at us and talking a lot. Not babbling much yet, but every now and again she'll kind of moan to herself. She loves Caden and he is so good with her and loves her (and the many new toys she comes with). We put her in the bumpo at about 3 months and the exersaucer about a week ago. She is an absolute joy. Pictures to follow!
