4 Months Old..

Miss Caroline turned 4 months old on Friday. I feel like I say this every week, but I love this age. It's so fun watching her explore things. Hmm..what's new? She's still not rolling consistenly but she'll usually roll from belly to back once when she's initially put on her belly. She loves blowing rasberries all the time..she's always full of drool..I feel like I'm constantly wiping her face. She loves her Jumperoo...she starts jumping and gets so ecited. We bought her a doorway jumper this weekend and she loves that too. She has started reaching for us when she wants to be picked up. It's cute.

Caroline's 4 month pedi appointment is this afternoon. I'm not looking forward to the shots but I am looking forward to finding out how big she is. We're going to talk to her pediatrician about the flat head thing. We're also going to discuss starting rice cereal. Her pedi says it will help with the mild reflux that she has.

Poor thing..I definitely think she's teething

17 Weeks Old..

Caroline turned 17 weeks old yesterday. I'll keep this post short because I'll do a 4 month update on Friday (or shortly after). Here are some pictures from her 17th week.

We actually had some rain one day last week and we went outside to enjoy the breeze before the rain started

Full of drool

16 Weeks Old..

Caroline turned 16 weeks old yesterday..I cannot believe that she's almost 4 months old! She rolled from belly to back for the first time yesterday. She only did it once and I thought I caught it on video but I apparently hadn't pushed the record button yet..boo. I really think she must be teething because everything goes into her mouth and she has been drooling like crazy. She's still "talking" a lot and she's started looking at the pictures in the books that we read her and "talking" to them.

She always smiles at the people and babies at her daycare when we drop her off and she seems really excited to see us in the afternoons when we pick her up. The ladies there just love her..they fight over who gets to hold Caroline when they go outside everyday.

Her sleep schedule is back on track..she's actually not even waking up on her own in the morning..we have to wake her up to get ready for daycare. She is definitely a morning person though..she's all smiles when we unwrap her from the swaddle. Here are some pictures from this week. Check out the shutterfly site for all of the pictures.

We set up her high chair so she can practice sitting in it. We plan on starting rice cereal after her 4 month appointment. Her pedi says it will help with the spitting up/mild reflux.

Frustrated that she can't get the toy in her mouth fast enough

Check out her first ponytail

She loves to stare at this iron thing that is above the couch

You can see her flat head here. We're going to talk to her pedi about that whole situation at her 4 month appt. We have greatly limited her time on her back.

15 Weeks..

Miss Caroline is 15 weeks old (3 1/2 months)! She seems like she's starting to "fill out" a bit more..her little legs are getting kind of chunky. It's cute. I hope she doesn't end up with Mommy's thighs. ;) Her 3 month sleepers are getting to be too short..I have to stretch them out before I put them on her. She is really all smiles now..though it's hard to catch it on camera. As soon as I point the camera at her she stares at it and gets this funny look on her face. She loves her Jumperoo now that her feet touch the ground. We bought her a Bumbo and she tolerates it for a few minutes at a time. If there is a TV on anywhere she will turn her neck every which way to see it. We try to play with her facing away from the TV.

We're doing everything we can to keep her off of the back of her head. We now take the Bjorn with us when we go to stores and one of us wears her instead of leaving her in the car seat. Daycare seems to be cooperating with our efforts though we're not really there to watch them. They make sure she's off of her back when we pick her up in the afternoons.

I don't know if we're going through teething, the 4 month wakeful, or what but Caroline's had some sleep regression issues over the past week or so. She slept through the night last night so I hope we're back on track.

I'm going to a bachelorette party this weekend and Mario is watching Caroline on his own for an entire evening/night. You would think I was leaving for a month the way he is whining. Haha. They'll be fine.

She's a little drooly monster these days She's still not rolling yet but she does lean so I think rolling is coming soon I caught a laugh on camera Her feet touch the ground now "Airing out" before a bath Talking to the baby in the mirror Look at those chubby feet
