Audrey rolled over in her crib today for the first time she rolled from her back to her tummy!

Since then, Audrey rolls over a lot and is holding he her head up very well when she is on her tummy.. she’ll be crawling in no time! She’s still having trouble getting from her tummy to her back. At her 4 month appointment she weighed 12 lbs 6 oz and was 23 inches long.

She has had a few trips to the mall now and is doing much better with outings. She’s crying less in the car seat now that she can play with toys and seems to really like being in her stroller.

She’s eating baby food twice a day now..about 1:00 and 7:00. She has 2 or 3 tablespoons of oatmeal mixed with formula and about 1/2 a jar of bananas, applesauce, or sweet potatoes. She doesn’t seem to like peaches or rice cereal. We are introducing new foods every few days. When she’s eating something she really likes she pulls the spoon into her mouth, its so cute!

She’s got her nighttime routine down pat…bath, bottle, bed. She goes right to sleep every time now. Sleeping pretty well, 10:30 – 5 am without having to be adjusted in any way. At 5:00 I put her in her swing and she goes right back to sleep until about 8:30. Some nights are easier then others but I am sleeping a lot more now.

She’s teething, confirmed by the Doctor, so she is drooling a lot and biting on anything (or any one) she can get her chubby little fingers on. She’s not very good with using the teething rings, she prefers to chew on blankets and soft toys.

Now that I know the teeth are coming I am glad that I am not nursing anymore (OUCH!). She hasn’t nursed in a week. She was nursing only in the morning (when I have the most milk) but she started waking up later and later and was not interested in nursing when she woke up anymore. The milk comes from the bottle so fast that waiting for “let down” was frustrating her, and me….so we strictly use the bottle now. I do miss it a little (she made the cutest noises while eating) but feeding her is no longer stressful to either of us and now Mommy can get her body back! I joined eDiets (love them) and should be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by Thanksgiving!

Audrey had Oatmeal today for the 1st time and loved it! She smiled and let out a little coo when she got her first taste of it…

Audrey had Gerber rice cereal today for the first time (She’s not quite 4 months, she’s 15 weeks, close enough right?) She did pretty well…but boy was it messy! I just realized how easy it is to only bottle feed!
