4 months Brooklyn Clare

Brooklyn,
      Time is flying way too fast!! We can't believe we have had you for FOUR months!! Where did the time go? 
       You are such a joy to be around. Our little angel baby! You are so sweet and very cuddly. You still prefer to be held but you will hang out in the swing, bouncy seat, or the baby jungle.  We have had a turning point with the car and as long as you are fed you will fall right to sleep (thank god!). And then you end up napping in the carseat for much longer.
       Sleep. Hmm. You are a cat napper anywhere between 20 minutes to an hour. Which isn't too bad because you are just so happy! Night time you nurse to sleep around 7:30 and then are up at 12:30 and 4 sometimes you will skip the 12:30 time. We have room for improvement!! 
      You found your voice and love to use it around 5:30 am. Read mommy is tired!! But it's pretty cute.  You are a rolling machine- rolling back to belly more than belly to back (the opposite of your brother). You are reaching and grabbing for toys now too.
       This month you celebrated your first christmas and New Years! Basically you slept through both :) although when daddy was dressed in his tux you found your first crush! Apparently daddy is very handsome all dressed up ;). Mommy also went back to work which has been a big transition for everyone but it's getting better.  
        Your big brother just adores you! Maybe a little too much but you tolerate his constant head rubbing, getting in your face, and trying to help you roll over. You do not like him hitting you (on accident) with toys, you makes the most awful cries when he does that.  Although you tolerate it, I think you would maybe enjoy some space sometimes.  BUT on the other hand he had your cracking up the other day being silly.
        You are still eating 7-9 times a day- exclusively breast milk and mostly nursing. Hopefully next month you will drop a feed or two... My little piggy! You are healthy and happy! The hemangioma has lightened a bit but hasn't changed in size. You are still on medication for it for at least six more months. 
       We can't wait to see what next month brings!! Hopefully time will slow down some.
