McKinley Four Months






Sweet baby girl is 4 months!! WOW!! I honestly can't believe it!

*Sleep: We have an all nighter!!! Yes, that's right she is sleeping 11-12 hours! Every. Single. Night!!! She will go down between 7-7:30 and sleep until 7/7:30 sometimes 8 the next morning. Her naps are also starting to fall into a routine, sleep from 9-9:30, sleep from 11-12:00 then again at 1:30/2-4 sometimes longer and then she will sometimes take a late afternoon cat nap. She pretty much takes three-four naps a day. Sometimes she gives me a really long, 3 hour afternoon nap and somedays its a bunch of 30 minute naps.

*More and more in love with her pacifier!
*Nurses first thing in the morning and then its a 6oz bottle every three hours. She will drink about 4oz midmorning and early afternoon and then 6oz at 4 and before bed.
*She has become A LOT more vocal! Talking and happy screams all the time! Not as often as Wyatt did, I am thinking she is going to be more reserved.
*She is VERY content unless tired or hungry and even then you can almost always calm her down with a pacifier.
*SHe loves her swing, floor mat, nap nanny, bouncy seat and we just tried the door jumper!
*She has started singing herself to sleep. It is the SWEETEST thing!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si
