4 months

My baby is 4 months! She's the sweetest, most precious, beautiful, make me want to cry every time I hold her type of gal. I'm so proud to be her mother. To have this wonderful opportunity and gift. I love my little girl more than I could ever imagine. I still look at her and get all googoo gaga, kinda like that feeling of a first kiss.

I love this face!

A little about Abby at 4 months:


  • 16 pounds 91%, (little chunk) 24 3/4 inches long 68%, Head circ. 42 cm 77%
  • She smiles, and it melts my heart
  • She giggles, mostly with Daddy and Grandpa
  • She loves being taken by surprise, Daddy is REALLY good at that
  • Thoroughly enjoys bath time, especially when it's with Mommy (a girl after my own heart)
  • She loves her swing, always has and I think always will
  • She won't sleep any other way than swaddled as tight as you can get it

  • She's not that into a Binky, she'd prefer to just naw on it
  • She's a drool monster, can soak through 6 onesies a day easy
  • Loves to rub her clammy little feet together, just like Daddy
  • Her new favorite position-crossing her ankles, like she's going down a water slide
  • Loves to reach out and play with toys, gets frustrated when her hands don't do what she quite wants them to
  • Still a stinker at photo shoots or pretty much anytime the cameras come out
  • Loves her Mommy's milk, still a very distracted eater
  • Not a fan of her car seat
  • Recently became interested in Sesame Street and TV
  • Loves being naked, hates getting dressed
  • Sleeps 7-8 hours each night with an occasional re-insert of the binky
  • Likes and knows her house, I promise
  • Takes great naps 2-3 hours if the conditions are: swaddled, swing, quiet with white noise, and fed
  • Has monkey arms, nothing has long enough sleeves for this child
  • A few nicknames-monkey, B, kid, sweetie, and monster
  • Babbles, on and on she goes....
  • Loves when Mommy sings to her
  • Loves to get her ears cleaned, can't stop the crying?...Find a qtip
  • Sucks on her hands constantly
  • Still looks like my tiny little angel in her Daddy's big hands

Abby your Dad and I love you so much, we love that we know these things about you and can't wait for the many months and changes to come! Happy 4 months baby.

Go Whiteboy

This is a classic, you've probably seen it, but it never gets old!
