Brielle - 4 Months Old

Our littlest girl is growing and doing so well! This last month she has mastered rolling from her back to her stomach. Once on her stomach she enjoys tummy time for a bit but then gets quite angry as she hasn't quite figured out how to roll back onto her stomach. Although at night she has found out that she is quite comfy sleeping on her tummy!
This past month we have officially decided she is a "thumb sucker." No matter how hard we tried to get her to take a pacifier (and believe me we tried - we bought at least 7 different brands), she had other ideas! She does look pretty cute sucking on that little thumb when she gets tired, but the bad part is you can't take away that thumb when she gets older! Oh well...
She has also continued to sleep really well and had been sleeping 10-12 hours a night without waking up. However, just recently we've regressed a little bit but we think that is because she is going through a growth spurt and is needing to eat more often which means she has been up during the night a bit again.
At her four month doctor visit we found out she is now 12 lbs 14 oz (25th percentile) and 25" long (75th percentile). Everything checked out good and she is doing great! Brielle loves telling us stories and is babbling a lot lately as well as blowing bubbles and "raspberries" :) She is also quite fond of her big sister as she smiles at her and enjoys watching her play and run around!

September 2011

Brielle is growing so fast and loving new things every day. She likes being upright and jumping away in her Jumperoo! And no our house is not that cold!!! We were heading outside on a somewhat cool day and I set her in her jumperoo for just a bit. She was looking too cute so I had to snap a pic :) Ashlyn and her 2nd cousin Jaylen playing dressup when they were here visiting from Iowa! What cuties!!!
And another "cutie" giving us bug eyes!
