4 Months!!!

It's hard to believe that Jenna is 4 months old today. She seems like such a big baby already and is interacting so much more with us. According to our pediatrician, 4 months is a magical age. When we sat in his office crying about her reflux and fussiness (when she was 3 weeks old), he told us life would be beautiful at 4 months. He was definitely right. She is such a happier baby now and we are so much more at ease with her. She brings such joy to our lives and we love her more than we ever thought possible. She is so huggable and kissable and I think we sometimes drive her crazy with all our kisses! Oh well...she will have to suffer through it. I'm going to steal Kelly's idea for monthly updates so here goes.

At 4 months Jenna is...

• Wearing 3-6 month clothing
  
• Wearing size 2 diapers
  
• Eating approximately 20-24 ounces of formula per day


• Taking 2-3 naps that last anywhere from 45 minutes- 2 hours


• Going to bed at 7 pm and waking up at 730 am, with 1-2 feedings in between


• Starting to giggle a lot more


• Cooing and babbling, and even starting to squeal with delight


• Has a major love of hair. She will watch me blowdry and flat iron mine every day, and loves playing with daddy's stiff, spiky hair.


• Loves her nightly bath...seriously it's her favorite time of day


• Likes playing on her Baby Einstein mat


• Likes hanging out in her jumperoo


• Loves to read stories...her favorites are Brown Bear Brown Bear What do you Hear and Polar Bear Polar Bear What do you See


• Loves to listen to her daddy play the piano (this is the sure fire way to calm her down)


• Is starting to take an interest in the Baby Einstein DVDs


• Still not the best car traveler, i.e. she screams bloody murder about 50% of the time


• Chewing on her left index finger and putting everything in her mouth


• The absolute sweetest little baby and the joy in our lives
