She’s growing too fast! 😦 

I took Naomi to her 4 month check up on 4/14/14 and she weighs 15 lbs and is 26 inches. She was 70% in weight and 90% in height. She grew 3 inches and gained 2 lbs in 2 months. I knew she grew because her legs kept getting in the way of my fanny pack! She got her vaccinations and she was a trooper. She cried for less than a minute. 

I am thankful that she is sleeping through the night still. She still has that whimpering around 4-5am, but once I stick the wubbanub paci in her mouth, she’s out again. The pediatrician told me I should let her figure it out on her own and not bother with the paci in the middle of the night. I agree. But it’s so much easier to pop it in and I can sleep. I let her whine it out last night and she did go back to sleep. We’ll see how we do tonight.

She’s been holding her own bottle now, and she reaches for EVERYTHING in site, and it always eventually lands in her mouth. She doesn’t do the thumb sucking that she used to from 0-2 months. She just has it (or all her fingers) in her mouth. Drool and more drool….I have to switch out bibs maybe 5-6 times a day. 

She’s such a great baby. So chill, so happy, so patient. She really does remind me of Chris. They’ve both got such awesome temperaments. 

No matter how tired Chris is, and how much sleep he’s lacking, he still manages to wake up and joke around and make me laugh. And he still smiles and toughs throw the days. He’s so amazing. I admire him. He’s been working so hard and so often. We both agreed that I should probably not return to work. Especially not fully time either. We’d never see our baby, or each other.  

I’m so much more happy in life now. It’s not because I’m not working. Maybe? 

I think it’s because I’m genuinely in love with my husband and my baby. I don’t see how life could get better than this right now! I have it all and this is all I want. My family. 

It makes me feel a little uneasy sometimes because I can’t believe how lucky I am. How did I get so lucky? 

What would my life be like without her? I don’t even remember what it was like without her.
