Eastlie - 4 Months

Date: Feb 21st

She's the big FOUR months

We just love Eastlie so much!
Even when she's a stinker and won't nap!
She's still my best night sleeping baby.
So that makes up for her lack of day sleeping!

She's really found her voice this past month.
She did the usual cooing and baby talk but now
she amped up the volume! lol

She's still super wiggly and wants to jump out of my arms and run away!
She's realize her hands are actually useful
and can use them as 2 clubs to pick up blankets, clothes, binky, etc.
And of course her hands are her favorite item to suck on!

She's been teething ALL month and has been pretty cranky at times.
Poor baby.
Teething is the pits!
Especially when she still doesn't have a tooth to show for it!
But we'll take those huge gummy no teeth smiles for as long as we can!

Here's her 4 month doctor stats

Weight: 14 lb 4 oz

And when she tries to escape off the chair, it's time to be done! lol

This past month has been a month of major transitions.

Mommy went back to work.

Sniff.

Which means everyone in the house has had to adjust.

Sweet little Eastlie went from strictly booby juice

to also being fed formula in a bottle.

She went from being in Mommy's arms all day

to being loved by the sitter instead.

It made me sob.

Like I was the baby.

I feel like I'm constantly failing at something

My house is falling apart.

But my kids are loved, fed and clothed

and still making it to all their events..and on time.

So I guess that's a success.

We've now made it through the first hard month

and we're getting somewhat settled into our new routine.

Mommin' isn't for wimps, folks!
