4 Months Old!

Sienna Faith,
You are four months old! You have changed so much in this past month, I feel like you are definitely out of the newborn phase and into the real baby phase, if that makes sense at all. :) First of all, you've made some big changes with your sleeping. You are starting to follow after your big sister in being a rockstar sleeper, it is the best! You go to bed every night at about 7:00pm. Still about half the time you sleep through the night and half the time you wake up once to eat but almost every morning I have to wake you up at 7:30am to start your day. You are so happy in the mornings, it is my favorite time of the day with you. Your morning nap lasts anywhere between 1-2 hours, your afternoon nap last about 2-3 hours and you take a later little catnap about 45-60 minutes. We even got rid of your sleep positioner, swaddle, and put you to bed awake most of the time and you do this great, I am amazed! I sure hope it lasts!

You still love to play on your activity mat and now you reach for your toys that are hanging and grab ahold of them. You are doing great with tummy time and you roll from your tummy to your back but still not regularly yet. We started sitting you in your bumbo several times a day and you love to just sit and look around.
Your favorite thing in the world right now is your big sister. Any time she is near you, you just smile HUGE! It is the cutest (and best) thing in the world. No one can make you smile like Allie. :)


We left you for the first time at night this past weekend too (well, kind of) You slept in your Memaw and Dodad's room when we were up in Prescott for two nights so that your daddy and I could get a good, full nights sleep and sleep in in the morning. Although I really missed you (and worried about you just a little:) it was great and you were wonderful. You and Memaw definitely bonded in the wee hours of the night :)

I can't wait to start feeding you 'real' food this coming month! We are just going to wait until your doctors appointment to start to make sure we know what to give you because of your allergies. But I have a feeling you are going to like to eat. :)
I love you my little princess. You bring so much joy into my life and your sweet little face just constantly makes me smile.
