4 Months

Finley turned 4 months on September 5th and I cannot believe it. She continues to amaze us everyday with how much she is growing and changing. She still takes cat naps during the day and sleeps through the night, most of the time. If she gets up, it's between 2 and 3 and all she wants to do is eat and then go straight back to sleep. Which is great for mommy and daddy. She is now taking around 5 oz every 2 hours when she eats and I usually give her some cereal at night so she will not wake up starving. She is now in a size 3 diaper and can wear 3-6 months clothes and some 6-9 months because she is so long. She also laughs and chuckles out loud at times and it's just hilarious. Her 4 month appointment is on September 15th, so we will update that day with some current stats. Her 4 month birthday was a day of firsts. I captured them all except for when she rolled over from her back to her stomach.!!


First time eating sweet potatoes.

Oh yeah, and when she eats, she loves to "blow bubbles" and the food all over the place as she is doing in this picture. She is really teethning and drooling everywhere and sometimes it seems like she is going to chew her fingers off. Poor baby.

I walked around the house that day and discovered that everyone was taking a nap.

Even the dogs on their little mattresses with their special made sheets.

Finley slept for 2 hours that day. I could not believe it. And she was sleeping on her side. I was trying something different.

I love this picture of her smiling in her little tu tu. It's very hard to get her to smile for a picture because she's always so busy looking around at everything else.

My future dancer!!!!

She also had her pictures taken that day and she wore her little black dress. She had her bloomers on for the pics but took them off as soon as we got home!

Random 3 months Pics

I know I am so far behind with posting. These are some different things that went on during Finley's 3rd month here.

Finding her asleep in her Daddy's arms after I told him just to hold her for a second while I got her cereal ready. She doesn't really nap during the day, so after her bath, she usually is exhausted.

I think she looks just like him!!

First time in the exersaucer. Which she loves, by the way.

I just love her little legs in this. She's not quite big enough to spin around in it yet but at least her feet touch the ground.

She likes being on her tummy for the most part, but gets frustrated eventually when she can't move.

I always put this frog in front of her and she eventually scoots toward it. It's so funny that she can do that. She is very strong and has been for a while. I think it's because she spends alot of time on her belly, since she sleeps that way, too. Oh no!! I can't believe I said that out loud! That makes me such a bad mommy, I know. Gosh, how did everyone ever live sleeping on their stomachs, sucking on lead painted cribs and BPA toys, and not riding in a car seat!! Ha, ha!

This is Finley on her play mat, or whatever they are called. She likes the paper sounds the butterflies make when she grabs them.

She usually will nap here or fall asleep in it at night before bedtime. But as you can see, she is getting so long, she may hang out of it soon. And she is not much on napping either.

First time eating cereal. Yum, Yum, mommy...I love real food!!

She was not sure what she should do with this new texture in her mouth.

Loves sitting in the bumbo, but eventually gets tired and leans forward like this.

And this.
