Kaelyn at 4 months

My darling baby is 4 months old now, and is she ever a darling!  She is the most amazing baby ever.  I was telling her the other day that she should hold classes on "How To Be a Baby" so she could train other babies on how its supposed to be done.  (hehehehe) Trust me, all you moms would love to have her teach your babies a thing or two.  *smile*

Kaelyn is still an amazing sleeper, giving me anywhere from a 6-hour to a 10-hour stretch at night, and then she usually goes back to sleep for a few hours.  She also has a 3-4 hour nap every day.  Some days she mixes it up and has two 2-hour naps.  Depends on how her morning went and how the day is going. 

She finally seems to not mind her carseat so much, and is actually becoming a good shopper.  She also does great in her stroller, so taking her places isn't as much of a hassle as it used to be.

Little Miss is now wearing 6-12 month and 12 month clothing.  She has officially outgrown all her 3-6 month clothing and her 6 month clothes are getting so snug that I can hardly snap them closed!  I don't have an official weight for her, but according to the "step on the scale, weigh yourself and then pick up the baby and weigh yourself again and figure out the difference" method, she's somewhere in the vicinity of 16.5 lbs!!  She's a rolly polly little babe, and I love every single one of those rolls!!!

All in all, if she's fed to bursting (still exclusively breastfed) she's as happy as can be.  When she starts to get fussy, it usually just means she wants a snuggle, so I'll sit and rock her, or snuggle her in close and she pops her little thumb in her mouth, and everything is right in her (and my!) world again.
