Our little rainbow baby turned 4 months on Sunday and while it didn’t slip my mind, I’m behind in posting pictures (as usual)! I took these pictures during a longer wake time (we’ve dropped her 4th nap), so she wasn’t as smiley as I was hoping, but here goes.
*She was eating 6 times a day, up until last night (ha!). I was in the process of dropping her “dreamfeed” as many Babywise moms call it, but had decided to wait until we got back from our spring break trip. The past couple of nights, she was hardly eating anything since she was so sleepy, so I decided to see what happened last night when I didn’t wake her for it. She slept the entire night last night and still woke up at her normal time, so I think she was ready for it! I’ll see how things go while we are away, but we may be down to 5 feedings now!
*She is sleeping really well at night! She is sleeping about 10-11 hours at night now and even surprised me last night with a 12 hour stretch (after not waking her for her “dreamfeed”)! How did I get so lucky? I hope I’m not jinxing myself!
*She giggled for the first time a couple of weeks ago! She spends so much time observing things around her, that she doesn’t let me hear her “talk” as often as I’d like. After she eats, I like to tickle her and kiss on her to get her to laugh. I can’t wait to hear that more often!
Our sweet girl continues to bless our family in ways I couldn’t even imagine! (Can you tell that Daddy is in heaven in the picture above?) We’re so lucky to have her and don’t take a moment of this for granted! Thank you, Lord for another wonderful month! We pray that you’d give us wisdom for every moment with her!
We love you, our Sweet Savannah Girl!

She sure is growing isn't she?? I LOVE this stage! I can't believe she is sleeping so long at night. I am SUPER jealous. 🙂 The past week Karlena is hardly making it every 2 hrs between feedings. I think maybe she is going through a growth spurt or something. I have NEVER been good about getting my kids to sleep like normal kids though. Elijah started sleeping through the night at 9 months after I quit nursing him. I need some of your tips! 🙂
Love on that sweet girl of yours…she is awesome! 🙂
