Bunny Chronicles - Month Four

Oh Little Miss, where has the time went? How can my sweet wee little babe be four months old already? I'll admit that I'm being a bit melodramatic about her getting older. So much so that I've noticed friends now saying "Wow Shelley, I'm sorry but she's getting so big!" Probably not a good sign on how I'm handling my baby growing up. hah

According to "the" Baby Centre, Miss Kate should be rolling over front to back or back to front, but I seriously slack when it comes to tummy time and well...Kate prefers to be sitting up in the corner of a chair/sofa or in her bouncy chair, so tummy time is non-existent. I'm not too worried, Tash rolls just fine, so I doubt I'm hurting my kid(s).

She still has an avid hate for soothers and an obsessive love for sucking her fingers. She also loves to chew on Tasha's old receiving blankets. I'm not sure if it's just bc she loves to chew, or because they have her big sister's scent. Either way, she does not chew/suck on the ones I made for her, so I'm more inclined to go with the latter, that it's because the were Tasha's. I put one in her crib with her for bedtime and naps, which may be why she's sleeping better? I can dream right? hah

She also has a deep admiration for her big sister. Any time Tash is near her Kate will turn her head and look up at her, smile and gurgle like crazy. I love how animated she is now. She giggles and smiles so much! I love every second of it.

Sleeping has improved. She is up on average about once a night, around 2.30 and then again around 7. At 7am I bring her into bed with me, she eats, then we go back to sleep for a bit. :0) I can't express how nice it is to sleep for more then 2-3hr intervals! She teased us and was sleeping through the night at around 3m, but it lasted for about 2w before she went back to waking every 3hrs again.

The culprit? I think anyway, is that my baby girl has started to teeth. Not quite sure how I missed it, as all the signs are there, the exact same ones Tash had (diaper rash, red red cheeks, thick drool) but I somehow did. It must have been the lack of sleep. hah
