4 Months Old

I have been awful about posting about Brynna. She's so getting the short end of the stick. So I wanted to make sure I posted about her being 4 months old even though it's been a couple weeks. Brynna is a great baby. She's a great nurser which a complete change from the other two. She has started waking up at night once to eat, but I love the cuddle time. We've quit swaddling her and I think that has something to do with it. She didn't like being swaddled anymore where with my other two they stayed swaddled until they were like 6 months old. So now she's trying to figure out how to sleep by herself. We are always on the go and so she isn't a very good napper during the day. She cat naps. So I've been trying to be at home in the afternoon so that she can learn to take a long nap during the afternoon. It's been tough, but I hope that it's starting her help her. *At Brynna's 4 month check up she was 13.125lbs (50th percentile) and 24 1/2 inches long (50th percentile). She is currently: -in size 1-2 diapers-in size 0-3 month clothes-nurses every 2-4 hours (depends on when she's awake or sleeping) -thinks her brother and sister are hilarious-smiles big time when she sees Jayce or Ryleigh-gets excited when Daddy holds her-loves to snuggle her blanket-takes a binky to sleep, but sucks on her fingers during the day-puts toys in her mouth (the other two did not do this much at all)-has discovered that she has a voice-can roll over from front to back if she really wants to-is very close to rolling over from back to belly-can wiggle all over her playmat, I put her in one place and she is completely turned around and on the other side of it 10 minutes later-loves the bath and swimming-loves to be heldHere's some pics of our sweet 4 month old princess
