Little Lady O is Four Months Old!

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always.  As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."

This mum has got to get with the program!  On January 8th you will be SIX months old (Insert surprise face here).  Obviously we have been having way too much fun and I am way behind on these posts, but, such is life.  It is a new year and I will try to be better, do better, etc.  So, here it goes my little love.

Weight:  On your four month well-visit you weighed in at 15 lbs 1 0z (My little chunkster) and measured 24.5 inches (My little munchkin).  Everyday you get more and more delicious.  It is hard to keep me from nibbling on those rolls.

Eating: During the day while you are at daycare (holding back momma tears) you take three five oz bottles every three hours.  When you are not at daycare you are exclusively breastfed on demand.  Sometimes you will go three hours between nursing and sometimes two and a half.  It makes me happy that we have been able to continue our journey breastfeeding as long as we have.  

Clothing: This really depends on the brand of the clothing.  Personally, I try not to have you wear anything too tight (We live in Florida after all).  I'd say that most of your clothing is either 6 M or 3-6 M.  

Sleeping:  Yeah, about that.  So, we entered the four month sleep regression at 12 weeks.  We haven't had any consistency with your sleep which has made for one tired momma.  There are nights where you wake up once, and then there are nights where you wake up  two to three times.  Usually it is easy to put you back down unless, usually.

Little extras:  My sweet baby your first day at daycare was on November 3rd, just a few days shy of your four month birthday.  Man, nothing could have prepared me for being apart from you for that long.  The day was hard on both you and me.  Yet, we made it through.  Of course there were a few hiccups but ultimately you adjusted.  They weren't kidding when they said that babies are resilient.  The second week was much better for you, but, not for me.  I think overall it will always be harder on me than you. 

Olivia, you are the light of my life and I fall more in love with you each and every day.  I never thought I believed in destiny.  Yet, there are no ifs or ands about it.  I was destined to be your mummy.  I love you!
