Rebekah Jo is FOUR months old!

Sweet Rebekah Jo,

Today you are four months old! This month has flown and drug by at the same time... You haven't been letting us get much sleep, which has been really hard on Mommy. But you're so cute and make up for it during the day with your smiles and coos! Everyone still adores you and wants to spend all their time with you, which has been good for Mommy! You're doing really well in school and have really started to love your teachers, as evidenced by the smiles you give them (you don't smile for just anyone...). I can't wait to see what the next month holds - hopefully more sleep. ;)

Love,

Mommy

Weight: 12 lbs, 4 oz... We've definitely dropped off percentile wise in the weight gain. Praying we just caught her mid-growth spurt! She's growing great length wise, just need her weight to catch up a bit...

Length: 24.75 inches!

Diaper size: Size 2

Teeth: Not yet!

Clothes size: Still in 3-6 month and 6 month clothes! It's good I kept some of your sister's summer 6 month clothes out because you've been wearing them quite a bit.

Sleep: We hit a major sleep regression towards the end of the month... You are still not the greatest napper. We had started getting a pretty consistent  2 1/2-3 hour afternoon nap, but lately, someone has had to hold you for you to nap more than 30 minutes. Nighttime has also been a struggle. You went from a dream feed at 10 and one wake-up to a dream feed at 10 and waking up every 2-3 hours... I'm ready to get some sleep again...

Favorite activities/things: Sleeping, wiggling, smiling, talking, and eating. :)

Eating: You eat every 2-3 hours during the day, and every 3-4 hours at night... Mama needs some sleep baby girl!

Nicknames: Punkin' bear, Little Bit, RJ, Wiggles

Talking: You are quite the talker! Nothing new on this front this month, though.

New adventures: You got to meet your other cousins this month! They loved you and you loved getting all the attention!

New Skills: You are still rolling belly to back and getting even closer to back to belly! You've also found your hands and LOVE to eat them!
