Live, Laugh, Love: October 2011

So Miss Aubrey recently was introduced to food. I started her off with rice cereal. Needless to say, she seems to love eating. She knows exactly where the spoon goes and likes to do it herself. At first I couldn't get it to her mouth fast enough. It was messy to begin with, but she ate it all. Started out at once a day, now we are doing twice a day. So far now real change in the sleeping pattern, although she did take some good naps yesterday. She has had some tummy issues trying to get used to food. I think her eyes are bigger than her tummy. Here over the next couple weeks I will be introducing new foods along with the cereal. Right now we are using the bumbo, but her grandpa ordered her a brand new high chair!

My baby is 4 months old! I never believed people when they said they grow up so fast, but they truly do. We went to the doctor and she is growing just right. She is 12lbs 6oz and 24 inches long. The doctor could tell that she was ready to start foods, so that is our next adventure.

I have moved her crib into my room and she is sleeping in it. She is quite the night owl and likes to stay up late and fight sleep. I started a new job and work in the evenings during the week. So she is really excited to see me when she wakes up, even if it is 2am and she just wants to talk. She is able to entertain herself for lots longer and has plenty of toys to keep her busy. She is trying so hard to talk. She recognizes her own name and it is only a matter of time before she truly gets moving. She is creeping around and has mastered rolling very well. She loves her bath time and enjoys getting to see her ducky at night. She isn't content with just lying down and trys to sit straight up and loves standing up.

I took her shopping recently, which she really enjoys getting out and going places. Hopefully we will get to do more of that. And she enjoys the car as long as it is moving lol But I had someone aske me how old HE was. I was in shock. I guess the purple pants and butterfly top weren't girly enough. I am not a fan of bows, and I think she looks cute enough without them. She sure gave them the busniess after they left.

I got her to laugh recently. It was the cutest thing ever! I haven't been able to get her to do it since though.

It is crazy to think that around a year ago I found out I was pregnant. At the time I was scared, nervous, excited and didn't know where this all would take me. I am now a proud mommy of a happy, healthy 4 month old. It hasn't always been easy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
