Four Months Old!

Look "Whooo" is 4 months old!!!


Love her expression:)


Three days after Christmas, Sophia turned four months old.  She is such a big girl now and is able to do so much more, which makes my days with her very entertaining:)  Here is what has been going on this month:
Eating: Sophia has slowed down her eating a little and is on more of a schedule.  I am only pumping now(she prefers the bottle), but she strictly is eating breast milk.  The best new thing she can do is feed herself her bottle.  She is eating about 5-10 ounces in the morning before her nap and 15-20 ounces before bedtime.  At her 4 month check up she weighed in at 16lbs 14oz, and 25 1/2 in. long!
Sleeping:  Sophia is such a champ in this category.  She sleeps through the night from 8pm-8am.  Rarely does she wake up in the middle of the night, but if she does, she usually rolls around and talks for a few minutes, and then is back to sleep.  She is still sleeping in her swaddle sack.  She takes her nap from 11am-2pm and a cat nap around 6pm.  This month she has made much more of a schedule with her nap times, and lets us know she is tired by getting fussy.  She loves her sleep:)
Play Time: Sophia has a lot of firsts in this category this month.  She is a champ at rolling from her back to her belly.  She will do it over and over again.  She also is grabbing everything and putting it in her mouth.   I think she is teething as well because she wants to bite down on anything soft and drools everywhere.  She has started using her bouncy seat which provides me with some free time that I much appreciate.  She is close to sitting on her own but not there yet.  Did I mention that she holds her own bottle, because it is so awesome!  I feel like I have more free time now that I can just hand her the bottle.  She also is easily entertained on her own with toys that talk or light up.
Half way there!


Stll loves tummy time-especially when she gets to watch fishies:)
