Ady // 4 Month Update




So this month you started daycare and it was SUPER hard on me. I thought because I had been through it with another child that it would be easier, but it most certainly was not. A lot of tears were shed and I miss your face so much during the day. Each day has gotten better, however, and it makes me appreciate evenings and weekends that much more. Also, you've giggled a few times this month and are always smiling. Love you baby girl!

Stats:
Weight: 16lbs 12oz (88%)
Height: 25in (78%)

Sleep: Still so thankful you love your sleep like mommy. One or two days a week you'll wake up around 4 or 5a for a nursing, but generally you are asleep by 8 or 8:30 and I have to wake you up for school around 7:15. Two nights ago you even slept near 13 hours without waking! Naps at daycare aren't really scheduled but you take generally 2-3 snoozes a day. 

Eat: Still 100% breastmilk again but tons more bottles now that you're at daycare. You hardly spit up at all anymore and weekends are my favorite because I get to nurse you all day long. (I hate the pump!)

Diapers: We're still about 90% cloth and 10% disposables. Right now you're wearing FuzziBunz size small. 

Clothes: You can still fit in a few 6 month outfits, but really you're fitting better in 9 months depending on the brand, mostly due to cloth diapers taking up more room!

Talk: You still love to talk and the girls at your daycare mention how you're always having conversations with them. I absolutely melt at the sound of your voice.

Other: You still use a pacifier, but only for naps and at nighttime. I would consider you an easy-going baby just like your brother and am so thankful for that. This month you found your thumb, but not for sucking, just for chewing thank god. I sucked my thumb until I was 9 so we're trying to pull it out of your mouth when we see it. I'm pretty sure you are already teething considering Drew had 2 teeth already by this age!

  4. She is just way too cute. The first week or so at daycare is super hard. Emma never went to daycare so I never went through that. But Alyx does go to daycare, and I think I cried every single morning. It got much easier though, and Alyx absolutely loves daycare so that makes me happy =) Happy 4 months Ady!!

  6. I wished Calvin would accept a paci... I bet that starting daycare is difficult. I don't want to think about going back to work yet, but if I do, I'm so thankful that super-Daddy is going to take care of Calvin. However, Ady seems to be having a great time, which probably makes it a little easier for you as well!

  11. Ha, I sucked my thumb for ages as well (probably 9?) and I am nothing but grateful that Harvey is a thumb sucker. I figure it gives him comfort, makes him sleep better, and eventually he will stop (most kids by age 2-4). No lasting harm for you and I, right? I'm just not willing to stress about it. :)
