Sloane // 4 Months Old

My little love. We don't have a newborn anymore. Officially. Sloane has been rolling from back to tummy for over a week now. She gets over and then panics because she doesn't know what to do, or whatever babies think in that situation. She is moving all over the place. After a few minutes she is mad on the floor, but is also mad if you pick her up and don't let her move and shake. For this first photo she refused to sit straight up. All she wanted to do was arch her back to start moving which made her keep slipping down.

She is a total drool monster. I got a teething necklace that she is figuring out how to grab onto to get it in her mouth. And a new Sophie the Giraffe is getting some action now and those little fingers are always being chewed on. I weighed her about 10 days ago and she hadn't hit 12 pounds yet. Her doctor's appt is on Tuesday so we'll find out where she actually is now. She's fully in 3-6 month clothes, but most of it is still super baggy. She is pretty long though so we have to go with the bigger size. She is happiest on me in a sling, just like she is right at this moment while I type. Actually she was sleeping, but Max just coaxed his way into the office and woke her up. Go figure. She's so insanely alert when we are out that napping other than at home and the car is becoming less and less. I can hardly get her to eat when we're out because she is so distracted by all the action around her.

UPDATE: Little Miss is still teeny tiny after our pedi check up! She was 12lb 8oz (15%) and 24.25in (37%). Max weighed more than she did at 2 months! Haha! At four months Carson was a pound and a half bigger and Max was almost 5 pounds bigger!!!

Her big brothers are mildly obsessed with her. I tell them to give her some space about 1, 256,089 time per day. I have to let Max hold her before every nap and at bedtime. Carson keeps his eye on her in those quick moments when I am not looking at her and Max come roaring in. I can't wait to see their bond develop as they all grow. I look around our home and everything is perfect. Chaotic ALL DAY, but perfect.

See, rolled over and immediately got furious. Haha

She was actually just ready for a nap so she was getting a bit grumpy.

We broke out the baby seat this week too. I only use it like this when the boys aren't around and I need to cook or clean something. I can't actually wear her 24/7... She refuses to sit up straight so she grabs her toes, squishes her tummy, and spits up. Like clockwork.

Off to high school.....

Okay, maybe not high school yet, but it sure feels like time is flying! I have so much that I don't get a chance to post here and it makes me sad. Sloane is changing so much every day. This weekend I was getting ready upstairs while Carl was playing with her downstairs. He yelled for me to come down and I saw her roll right over from her back to her belly. She's doing it on the play mat next to me as I type this. She gets over and can get both arms out in front, but then yells because she doesn't know what else to do. It's adorable. Her head control is amazing already too which I partially attribute to wearing her upright so much.

Before I got her dressed today I took a minute for some photos in her crib. I've done lots of photos like this, but she looked especially cute today. I love getting all the expression captured on camera. :)

Sloane is 3 months + 20 days old

I can't wait for the toe-in-mouth phase, but I'm trying my best to be present. I look forward to finding out all the little details that will soon make up this girl. Having a baby is seriously the best though.

She's found her hands and those fingers are constantly being chewed on now. THE DROOL.......
