Kimber | Four Months


Weight: 14 pounds 6 ounces (59%)
Height: 25 inches (68%)

Four months old! Where is the time going! You are growing like a weed and filling our lives with so many smiles and giggles. "You'll never know dear how much we love you!"

Feedings 
Mommy still pumps...a little...and you still get a little breast milk mixed with formula while I'm away. We do get to nurse at home but you always have to be topped off with formula or rice cereal. Mommy is having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I won't be able to nurse you for much longer but we're enjoying it while we can! All that matter's is that my hungry girl is full and happy! 

Sleeping
You're such an awesome sleeper! You continue to sleep all the way through the night (8-10 hours) and mommy and daddy are totally loving it! Oh and you sleep in the weirdest positions during nap time. 
Holding on tight to Aunt Bails blanket!
We didn't get to transition you into your crib until right before you turned four months old but much to our surprise, you had no trouble with the transition! I think you like that you have a little extra room to wiggle while you sleep! Mommy was nervous about the transition and honestly, not 100% ready for you to be away from me but having a video monitor helps. I can see you and hear you breathing so I know all is good. And if you're sleeping through the night, you must be happy too!

from your first night in your big girl crib! 

Clothes/Diapers
You still fit perfect into your 0-3 month clothes! You've outgrown your 0-3 month jammies so we've switched you over to 3-6 month jammies. We're slowly wearing more and more of the 3-6 month outfits in your closet though! 

You're still in size 1 diapers and we STILL haven't bought a single pack of diapers or wipes! Daddy's Beer & Diaper party was a huge success and we'll be using those diapers for quite some time!

Teeth
Nope, no teeth yet! But by the amount of drool you produce and how much you love to chew on anything you can get your mouth on, I think those are coming soon!  

Milestones
Where do I begin? You are still our smiley and giggly baby bear and we love hearing those giggles! These days you're really talking up a storm! You especially like talking to yourself in the mirror, it's quite hilarious! Everyone just keeps falling in love with you!

In the fourth month of your life, we celebrated your First Christmas! It was so great having our little family together in the morning and enjoying time together (even though you slept through the presents) We went to Grandpa Dennis' for the day. I'm pretty sure we opened more gifts for you than anyone else combined! We also celebrated Christmas with the Steffey side on the 28th and with Grandma and Grandpa Bostwick on New Years Day. You are one very spoiled little lady!

Colt giving you kisses ... yes, he still loves you, "his baby".
  
We had to reschedule you Baptism from December 22nd to December 29th so I this milestone event ended up falling in your fourth month of life! You did great! You had lots of smiles for Pastor Ron too! On the first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Ron asked you to light the advent candle. Mommy and Daddy were just there to help. You were awesome! Everyone loved that you were awake and looking around when you were at the front of the church.

Of course, your First New Year, happened this month too. Since Daddy worked New Years Eve we spent time at home and on New Years Day we went to Grandma and Grandpa B's to celebrate Christmas with them. Your resolution was to make mommy and daddy happy beyond measure and you're doing great! :)


The BIG milestone you ate real food! Okay, it was just kind of by chance. At your Great-Great-Aunt Marlene's 80th Birthday Celebration you decided you wanted some of Grandma's cantaloupe. You loved it. I think you're trying to get teethers to come in and the cold felt good on your gums. You've also tried some strawberry and pineapple and daddy gave you some carrots. And daddy also likes to let you taste steak too; good thing daddy's a good steak cook! More food soon I'm guessing! 
Another big milestone this month is that you've started holding your own bottle! Since you're really into your hands this is not surprising at all! You've started taking your bink out of your mouth and putting it back in too. You're so amazing, baby!
