4 Months Old

Scarlett, my beautiful baby girl is 4 months old!! And she seems to be getting bigger by the minute. She is about 13 lbs and wearing 3 month clothing. Shes just now unswaddled at night and sleeping pretty well. She wakes up to nurse somewhere between 3 and 5 times a night, but since shes so close to me its very easy. She doesnt cry and I dont even really wake up, in fact, in the morning I dont even really know how many times she woke haha. She is rolling over onto her stomach, but can not get back on to her back... and she doesnt really like to be stuck on her stomach for too long. She blows raspberries all the time and laughs and smiles when someone else does it to her belly or feet. She likes to be held facing out so she can look around. Shes paticular about who is holding her. She is most definetly mamas baby right now. It takes her a while to get used to new people, and even then she really only wants to be held by other people if shes in a very good mood. She loves her dads deep voice, and whenever he is around she searching for his face. She absolutely will not take a bottle still, but it is okay with me. I suppose we just need to make it work. She has found her thumb and sucks on it every so often. Most of the time, she is just chewing and sucking on her other fingers. Scarlett is constantly drooling but hardly ever spitting up. Her hair is more thin now than when she is born, but starting to get curly on the top which is super cute. She loves to take baths with me and kicks and splashes. The best thing that has changed recently is that she no longer screams and cries in the car seat!!!!! She is quiet and chews/sucks on her blanket so shes very content and it makes me feel so much better about going out of the house. I was definetly not into the idea that I just needed to make her suffer through it as much as possible to get her "used" to it... so Im very happy she started to feel better in the car on her own. I cant believe how much she changes every day.

I love Scarlett so much. I think she is the most wonderful, beautiful baby in the entire world. My heart fully belongs to her.

Lots of pictures to come :-)
