Four Months Old

We took Sawyer for her four month well baby checkup today.  She did great!  She now weighs 15lbs 13oz and is 24 inches long.  She is in the 90% percentile for her weight and 75% percentile for her height.

The things I can do at four months:

• Hold my head up
• Sit in my Bumbo seat and eat my cereal
• roll over (from tummy to back and from back to tummy if I try hard enough)
• Laugh, giggle, and coo
• Reach for objects
• Hold onto objects
• Yank the fire out of Mommy's hair
• I LOVE bath time!!

Sawyer is a very happy baby.  If something is wrong she is quick to let you know and will return to being happy baby as soon as you fix the problem. 

Lately she hasn't been sleeping through the night very well and Dr. Farr told us that it is time we let her "cry it out."  I told him I would try, so I will let you know how it goes.  He said a baby her size should be sleeping 9-12 hours per night!  Wow!!!  Let's get this baby sleeping.

In about four weeks we will be starting her on Stage 1 baby food!  Pictures to come!!

Look at me!  I am four months old!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Since before I even became pregnant I decided that when I had a baby, whether it be a boy or a girl I wanted to cut out a pumpkin and place the baby in it.  So...this year my wish came true.  Sawyer was just the right size and she did a great job posing for me!!!

  Isn't she precious????

So for Halloween I dressed her up as a lady bug and we went, or rather attempted to go trick or treating with the family.  She did an excellent job posing for pictures, but didn't care too much for the darkness when it came time to go out and about.

Our attempt to go Trick or Treating!

As you can see, she wasn't very happy!

 

We had lots of fun and have great memories of Sawyer's First Halloween!

Three Months

With starting back to work I am way behind with my blogging.  So here is my attempt to catch up.

Sawyer has grown so much.  She can now hold her head up so well, and can even roll from her stomach to her back.  She doesn't do it all the time, but she does do it.  She has now officially started daycare or as we call it, school, and is doing really well.  She takes a 6oz bottle about every 3-4 hours.  She was doing well and sleeping almost through the night, but now that we have moved her to her bed, she doesn't quite make it.  She wakes around 2am and comes to bed with us and sleeps until about 4, then I feed her and she goes back to sleep (sometimes) for about an hour or so.  She coos all the time and loves to smile.  She is such a happy baby and sooooo much fun!
