4 Months...


Dear Miss Audrey,

How is it that you are already 4 months old!?! You turned 4 months on December 31st, so I am just a week late writing this post. You celebrated your 4 month birthday by ringing in the New Year with Tiffany, Brandon, and Timothy and celebrating a tiger bowl game win! Pretty big day, I'd say. You actually slept for the most of it! We also drove back from Dillon that day!!
 The only picture we got of you on New Year's! You were sporting your cheerleading outfit for a little bit, too bad we didn't get the full effect of the cuteness of it!! 

You have gotten to be quite the busy girl this month! You love being a roly poly on your play mat. I have actually started putting a blanket down under your mat because you are always rolling right off of it! We also had to stop swaddling you because of your rolling over and it was quite tough for a couple of nights until you got the hang of it. Your last night of being swaddle was December 20th. We didn't sleep too much for the next two or three nights because you kept waking yourself up with those hands of yours. I kinda miss your cuteness in your swaddle. You are growing up. After those first few nights though you were just fine and started sleeping well again!
You also had a big first Christmas during month four and you had quite the collection of Christmas outfits!! You helped Mommy celebrate her first birthday as a mom by giving her the sweetest necklace with your name and birthstone and I of course absolutely love it!!

These next two pictures were taken the day of your four month well check. You were all ready to go and had the best time at the doctor until the shots of course!! You were in the best mood until that happened. You are still quite the happy and content baby, but boy if you get mad about something you surely let us know it!!
 There is no denying that you are your Daddy's child in this one!!!

After shots you actually got to run errands with Mommy. That is the first time in a long while you have been out and about. We went to Target of course, TJ Maxx, and to pick up dinner. We are trying to keep you away from the sickies. You are such a bundle of joy that you make Mommy want to have a dozen more. Don't worry, that is no where in our future! :) Maybe one or two more if I can convince Daddy of the third. I already miss your cuddly newborn stage so I now know why people have lots of sweet babies. You are still pretty cuddly and I do rock you to sleep every night even if it is a no no, I just can't help it. I have gotten behind on your weekly post so I have decided just to start anew this week. I am not going to try and catch up, but I will start from this last week and try to make sure I get one each week from now on. It is one of my New Year's Resolutions. You are so funny sweet girl and you are starting to develop such a sweet little personality. We love you to the moon and back!! 

Love, 
Mommy

I wouldnt think rocking is a no-no. Some may not like it but I will never forget a friend of mine in Aiken said, "I will rock my babies every night until they tell me not too..it will happen before you know it". :)

Such a sweet baby! I'm glad you posted about dropping the swaddle because my almost 4 month old daughter is breaking out of hers several times a night and waking herself (and us) up. :) Any suggestions on how to drop the swaddle? Thanks!
