I seriously feel like I just posted Dylan is 3 months! These past few weeks have flown by too fast. I can't believe my little butterball is getting so big....literally! I don't have her current stats because we don't go for her 4 month check up until Monday. But I estimate she's about 15-16 pounds and she's already in 9 month clothes so I know she's quite the chubster. She had a huge growth spurt and basically skipped over her 6 month stuff so now I have some shopping to do - woohoo!
The biggest news we have is that our little miss is officially sleeping in her own room full time. We started with naps and she did so well that we let her stay there overnight this week. So far she's handled it really well. In fact, she actually sleeps better in there and doesn't fuss much at all during the night. And she sleeps until 7am which means that mommy is getting some really great sleep too. Now if we can only keep the boys out of our bed! The only hiccup I foresee is transitioning her from her cradle to the crib since her cradle is slightly inclined. I have a feeling she won't take to well to sleeping flat but we'll see. We plan to start that process next week so I'll keep you posted.
Dylan is so active and alert now. She loves to talk, giggle and play....as long as she's playing with someone else. Unlike the boys, she doesn't like to play by herself, neither in her bouncy seat or on her activity mat. She won't even stay in her bumbo very long. She'll chill for about 5 minutes then scream her head off. And since neither of us can stand to hear her cry we usually relent and pick her up. The girl is definitely spoiled because the minute we pick her up she stops crying. So we end up carrying her around all day which can be challenging. We've created quite the little monster! My chill little baby is not so chill anymore...unless we are holding her, of course! And since she still hates tummy time and can't roll over and I'm starting to think that's because we hold her too much. So we definitely need to break that habit.
But on the positive side, we are starting to see her cute little personality form. She's very serious like her bro Jack when he was a baby. Christian and I can get her giggling but strangers have no chance. It's hilarious watching perfect strangers doing crazy things to get her to smile. We've also noticed that she is drawn to more calm and soft spoken people...like Papa Joey, Grammy Delora and Auntie Donna. She doesn't like loud noises or a lot of fuss so I think she finds them more comforting than the rest of my loud family. She also loves to be outside and prefers to be there instead of inside. And I know you are going to think I am crazy but I'm convinced that she really loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She doesn't really watch TV but when the boys have that on she goes nuts and kicks her legs like mad. Its hilarious.
She's such a slobbery mess these days so I have a feeling she might be teething. The boys both started early so I'm sure we'll see some pearly white popping out here soon. The poor baby also has her first cold so she's been pretty fussy this week. I hate when my little girl isn't feeling well. But I do love that she likes to cuddle with me when she's not at her best. And she has even started to warm up to her daddy a lot too She's way more into him now. I'm not so sure how I feel about that since she's supposed to be mine. If she's a daddy's girl I'm going to get a complex! But seriously, it's super cute to see them bond. He's really great with her, how can she not love him! Here are some pictures of precious little lady at 4 months...
She wasn't feeling well when I took these pictures so it was hard to get her to smile, as you can see above. But I did manage to get one of her smiling at her daddy...
I love this picture because I think she looks like a big, fluffy, blue cloud. I can't get enough snuggles when she looks this comfy...
Such a happy girl!
Super cute outfit! For some reason I much prefer onesies and pants over dresses....
She's officially out of the swaddle and in her sleep sack. She looks like a little royal princess here...
This is the first and only time she's ever slept flat on her back. It gives me hope that she will transition to her crib well but I think I am in denial...
I adore this face! These pictures are so cute that I couldn't decide which one I liked the best so I posted them all. Papa Joey was making her so happy...
Here's a funny video of my family on a Sunday morning. We caught Dylan giggling in the very beginning and in the middle. Jack can really make her laugh as you will see. But when Gav comes near her she tenses up. That girl can definitely sense trouble when it's approaching! Enjoy...
