Weight: 14.4 lbs. – Dude! This girl is getting huge!
Length: 25
inches
Diaper Size: 2
Clothes Size:
We are
definitely in 3-6 month clothes and our footie jammies are starting to get a
little tight! I am already shopping for 6-9 month size clothing…She is growing
too fast.
Nicknames:
Goosie Goose, Baby Paiz, Baby Boo, Paisley Poo.
Health:
She is one healthy baby! She is growing great and there are not many worries.
At her 4-month appointment, our doctor let us know that she needs to be laying
on her left side more. Her head is starting to be a little flat on the right
side. If we don’t get that fixed, we might have to get her a helmet. I really, REALLY
want to avoid that…so we are trying hard to get her to lay on the other
side. Wish us luck.
Sleep:
We tried out a little bit of the “cry it out” method. Mom was not
a fan, but I had to let her learn how to put herself to sleep. Craig did not
have any problems, but I of course had nights when I wanted to cry with her…and
then go and snuggle her L Gosh
that is so hard! So after one night of crying for an hour and a half at 2 am,
she learned that she didn’t get to eat at that time anymore. She will still
sometimes cry at 2/3, but we will give her her binky and she is good to go.
Then around 6-8 am, she wakes up to eat. I feed her and then she goes back down
till around 9.
Diet:
Breastfeeding is going great still. We had a period
of time after I went back to school for the Spring semester that she decided
she no longer wanted to take bottles. For a couple of days she just refused. It
was horrible being at school and knowing that I was the only one that could
make the crying stop, etc. I felt horrible. She learned after about 2 weeks
that that was the only option. It was a blessing when she figured it out! Thank
heaven.
We are
now also feeding her solids! She is a lover of all the fruits (just like her
mamma) and we are working with her on the veggies still J
Likes:
-
She loves eating her
hands, binky, toys, blankets, burp clothes, mom’s cheeks, …. Well, everything.
She loves putting everything in her mouth!
-
She has started liking
laying on her belly a little bit more. She is strong enough to sit up for a
while instead of just straight up burying her face in the floor J ha!
-
Paisley loves being
around other people. I hope she stays that way! I want her to be outgoing and
know how to get to know people. Obviously we are not there yet, but hey, one
day!
-
She loves when her daddy
gets home from work at night! One night when I was putting her down and feeding
her, he walked in and just looked at him and yelled! Like, “Where have you been
all day?!” It was hilarious.
-
She LOVES applesauce J
-
She loves when I bite her
belly. She gets a little giggle out…something that we are still working on. She
is way better at growling than she is at laughing…ha
-
P loves to wake up in the
morning. She is so stinkin happy and I LOVE IT!
Dislikes:
-
She does
love tons of hugs from her cousins. She can handle a few, but Bailey sometimes
get a little heavy on the hugs J
-
Paisley
does not like being left alone in a room. Not a fan.
Milestones:
-
She laughed for the
first time, but has only laughed like twice since! GRRR…how do you get your
baby to laugh?! She thinks I am hilarious and smiles and screams and growls…but
she can’t seem to get that little chuckle back…we will work on it!
-
Started solids! She HATED
rice cereal…Well she still does. We just have to mix it up with fruits or
veggies and then she is happy with life again J
Things I don't want to forget:
-
The first time she
laughed. I ran into her room while Craig was changing her diaper and we were
both just so happy J We had been waiting for that time…it was even better than we could
have expected.
-
She rolled over on
1/25/2016! I was the only one home with her and was so happy that she didn’t
roll over when I was gone at school! Thank you P!
-
When she is
breastfeeding, her hands just wander around. I absolutely love these little
moments when she sticks her hands in my mouth or holds on to my finger or
shirt. I am really going to miss these times when she is so little.
-
I don’t want to forget about
the noises and faces that she makes when she sees me walk into a room. She gets
so excited to see me and knows that I am her mom. It really does not get better
than that!
-
I don’t want to ever
forget the simple times like Craig going and getting Paisley out of her crib in
the morning and bringing her back to bed. Us three, just lying in bed. I will
miss these simple times a laughing, bad breath, and boogie noses J
