Four Months Old!

Callie is four months old today!

In the last couple of weeks, her nighttime sleep pattern has "regressed" - she's waking up 3-5 times a night again, but is settling herself down 1-2 of those times. The rest of the time she is HUNGRY! I hear that there's actually a term for it and that, at this time, babies are gearing up for a developmental growth spurt at about 20 weeks. That makes it a little easier to bear... I'll get up a couple of times in the night if it means a smart daughter...

During the last week or 10 days, she's learned to blow raspberries and will hold an entire raspberry conversation with you for about as long as you can stand it. :)

Thursday (the day before yesterday), she also learned how to roll back to front. In the morning, it seemed like it was by accident - she just got her legs going so much and happened to have her "wing" in the right position, but then, she did it a couple of times at the babysitter's and REALLY got going Thursday evening - front to back, back to front, front to back! It took me longer to lotion, diaper, and dress her Thursday night than it took to bathe her!

We've discovered that she likes to be held up, airplane-style, and she likes it even more if you give her a little toss while you've got her up there. Think that means she'll like roller-coasters? Wes won't get on them and it sure would be nice to have someone to ride with me... ;)

Breastfeeding-wise, I'm keeping up with her! YAY! If I weren't so tired of pumping, I could probably be more successful at building my freezer stash back up... but right now, I'm probably adding 10-16 ozs over a weekend, and I'm okay with that for right now.

My sweet girl is getting bigger every day and is so happy and healthy and I just feel so blessed to have her. We'll take pictures this evening and post later.
