Welcome to my crazy life! As a mommy to 3 adorable boys my days are full of adventure and fun. I am realizing that time goes by so quickly and I don't want to forget all the cute things that the boys say and do. I hope that this blog will serve as a journal to record all those precious moments...

Leah is 4 Months Old!


Today Leah is 4 months old!  At 4 months Leah is talking and laughing.  She is smiling a lot.  She is in general a good baby.  She is sweet and pretty patient.  Though she will cry eventually if you aren't doing what she needs.  She mostly just cries when she is tired.

She usually goes to bed around 8:30 (give or take) and wakes up around 8, give or take.  She wakes up once between those times,  But, it can greatly vary when she wakes up.  Anywhere from 1:30 to 5:30, usually around 3-4ish.  She eats and falls right back to sleep.  Leah did 10 1/2 hours one night, but for the most part is doing about 7-8 hours.  She is our worst sleeper, but that is relative.  Most people would love that their baby sleeps 8 hours, but our boys were sleeping 10 hours at this point!  Not sure if it is just her personality, the fact she eats less than them or if it is because she was a preemie and isn't really a 4 month old developmentally...

She is sleeping her own room in her crib now for both naps and bed time.  She continues to sleep to white noise.  Both to help her fall asleep and to drown out the boys noise.  We also are sleeping her on her belly all the time now.  She just seems to like it better and is able to fall asleep better.  She will occasionally fuss when you lay her down for nap, but she usually settles herself and if not will need just a little patting on her back to fall asleep.

During the day she takes about 4 naps or so.  She eats then plays for about 1 1/2 hours and then goes to sleep and repeats this cycle throughout the day for the most part.  In the evening she may or may not take a nap, and will usually eat her last 2 feedings closer together.

She is still rolling tummy to back occasionally.  She is also starting to grab for toys that are hanging in front of her.

She is a lot of fun and just very sweet tempered.  We are having so much fun with her!

Dennis has been out of town the last few days so we are so excited to have him back tonight!
