so at four a.m. our little adelaide turned four months. it is so hard to believe that in these short four months so much has happened. if i think back to other four month periods in my life - like waiting for school to end, or to leave on a trip, for my wedding, or even christmas...nothing compares to these four months.
addie in four short months you have managed to:
1. grow several inches (dr. ng will tell us tomorrow exactly how many)
2. almost double your birth weight
3. grow out of your newborn, 3 month, and 6 month clothes
4. grow out of #1 and #2 diapers
5. go from waking every two hours...to three hours...to five hours during the night
6. drink 2 ozs...to 4 ozs...to 6 ozs...to the random willingness to let mom give you rice cereal
7. sleep in a boppy right next to us, then sleep in your pack'n'play, and now in your crib!!!
8. ride in your carseat stroller, and now the big-girl stroller!
9. go from silence, to cooing, to singing all the time
10. move from little poops, to major blow-outs that you wait until we are in public to have
11. go from needing mom to hold you while you dance, to dancing on your own
12. to barely holding your huge head up for minutes at a time, to always wanting to sit up even when you are strapped in to your seat
13. go from not knowing you had feet, to grabbing them whenever possible
14. go from not being able to squeeze our fingers, to not wanting to let go even to fall asleep
15. move from a towel bath - that you hate. to a big girl bath - that you love
16. switch from just crying for everything, to actually showing signs like rubbing your eyes
17. go from squirming as i type with you on my lap, to sitting patiently watching the screen.
18. go from stopping strangers with how cute you are...oh wait, they still stop...
19. travel a total of 28 hours in the car to disney
20. go from smiling to laughing out loud with the greatest laugh EVER
21. swim in a big people pool and love to splat your hands in the water
22. start to turn on your side, causing minor heart attacks to your mommy
23. change my life forever for the better.
you are such a big girl..i can't wait to see what you are capable of with 5 months under your belt...ads, you are a drool-covered mountain of squishiness just waiting to be squeezed and i just love you...and i love that you just fell asleep against my arm.
happy napping...you've done a lot and need your rest.
