Evelyn: 4 Months Old!!!

Yup I'm going to say it pretty much every month....I CANNOT BELIEVE EVIE IS 4 MONTHS OLD!!! 

She has grown up SO much over the past month and has become SOMEWHAT more independent!! She's able to sit up in your lap now and even up against the couch if you're beside her! She's SO curious about everything and wants to be a part of everything all the time!! 

Her sleep is still pretty much the same....she is STARTING to nap for a little bit during the day...usually after her morning feed before noon but only for about an hour or so.  Sleeping a solid 6-8 hours every night! Our bedtime routine is pretty solid too.  Starting between 8-9pm she gets her bath and then bottle and she's usually out by the time she's done feeding.  

A HUGE thing this month...we ended our breast feeding days over the last week because I was having way too many issues with Mastitis and such.  Also, she wasn't even getting enough to eat from me.  The first day we started on formula she drank 4-6oz!! I normally am able to pump BARELY 4-5oz and that's with squeezing everything I have out.  She's been much happier since and that's when the naps during the day have started!  

We are starting her on rice cereal next month so I'm super excited for that and also she will get to finally use her exersaucer!! It'll be nice for her to be able to start entertaining herself rather than me having to entertain her ALL the time!! She LOVES to be entertained by the way!! She LOVES going to the mall and looking around at EVERYTHING and smiling at EVERYONE!! Definitely NOT an introvert at this point!!! 

Evie at 4 months can...
~Smile and laugh WITH you!!!! 
~Hold her head up to look around when I put her on my shoulder and when she's sitting in my lap!
~Kick, kick and KICK!! She loves kicking!!! She does this thing where she rubs her feet together!
~Make TONS of vocal noises!! She'll just sit there and make noises for hours!
~Suck on her fist and sometimes randomly grab onto things that are within reach
~Recognize her grandparents now too and I THINK my siblings too? Oh and our puppy Tobey too!
~Roll over from tummy to back!!!
~Roll from back to side!!
