4 Months Old!

I can't believe it's already been four months since our little one arrived.  It seems like just yesterday.  That could be from the lack of sleep though.

Parker is a fun little girl.  She really enjoys being outside.  She tries to giggle when the wind blows and her hair goes with it.  This girl has some hair.  It's mostly on the top and if you comb it just right she looks like a 70 year old man trying to keep each strand of hair on his head. 

She's been making more noises and talks to her little bugs hanging from her car seat.  She loves it when you sing to her and fortunately she doesn't understand tone yet. 

Sleep is still hiding from us.  She's not eating as much throughout the night but she manages to escape from her swaddle and that makes her mad.  So a re-swaddle will typically get her back to dreamland. 

She's been sleeping in her very own room in her crib.  The first few nights we missed her tremendously.  Now, it seems normal.  She sleeps really well in her crib and we're able to watch tv in bed and not worry about lights or making noise. 

Tomorrow is her 4 month dr. checkup.  We'll see if she's ready for some sleep training or if we should wait a bit longer.  We tried some cry-it-out methods and neither one of us could last very long.  She got REALLY upset.  Trial and error...
