4months.

holy smokes. 4 months! she's getting to be so big and learning new things everyday. she...

is more interested in rolling now. gets to her side and hangs out there.
sleeps on her tummy at night (we can get a good 9-11 hr. stretch that way!)
puts herself to sleep with hardly any fussing.
gets up at 7am-- she picked this wake up time and i like it too.
isn't hating naps! she sleeps on her tummy for 3 good naps a day. puts herself to sleep and if she wakes up after 45 min. she'll either put herself back to sleep or i'll pat her a bit and she'll go back down. phew.
loves to snuggle.
recently has stopped being swaddled b/c she sleeps on her tummy
gets all bottles now. she started preferring bottles over nursing and i did not want breastfeeding to become stressful for either of us sooooo all bottles.
eats 4-5 oz every 3-4 hrs. (about 25 oz. a day, mix of breastmilk and formula)
laughs!!
talks up a storm. to us. to her toys. to her mobile. she's not picky!
likes tummy time...i think. she rarely screams during it anymore and stays there for about 15 min. at a time.
likes her bumbo!
doesn't like to be held like a "baby," she's too curious and wants to look around
grabs things on purpose and usually gets them pretty quickly. this may be my favorite thing so far. it's awesome to see her look at something, reach out and take it.
puts everything in her mouth.
gets distracted very easily.
grabs things in front of her during tummy time.
loves playing on her mat and trying to get the hangy things.
doesn't like her paci (hasn't liked it in a while)
still wears 0-3 month clothes-- even some newborn still!
doesn't like to be held all the time, loves to lay on the floor and stretch or sit in the bumbo and be nosy
grabs her feet
is so stinkin' smart
