My sweet baby Ali is four months old (today at 1:26pm) its been an eventful month and this past week we have had some new changes… each pregnancy is different and each baby is different that is for sure! Miss Alison is always teaching me something new:
Ali is still nursing very well; I haven’t had to pump in weeks that is a good thing and a bad thing. The pump doesn’t get all the milk out like she can – but I felt like we needed to introduce cereal this week. It’s so cute she sits in her BUMBO and opens her mouth like a big girl.
Ali has two very sharp teeth… and she didn’t like them making her mouth hurt. I wasn’t sure what was going on, drooling and biting next thing you know teeth! I think we are getting the tops ones soon too!
Ali has been getting a bath right after her cereal at 930am she still loves the bath, just lays there in the warm water and lets mommy clean her up.
Ali needs a blanket to keep her up… we got the stand up saucer out of storage and Alison barely fits in it. We put blankets around her to keep her up right but she likes to stand up and look around. Gracee likes it too… she plays with the toys around the saucer and tells me she is teaching Ali to be BIG like her.
Ali is growing like a weed… I took her to the health department yesterday to update her baby book and she is 15lbs 11oz and 25 inches tall. She was so calm and full of smiles… the ladies fell in love with her.
Ali goes to bed around 8pm and sleeps until about 4 in the morning… she wakes but doesn’t open her eyes and I give her a four oz bottle and lay her back in bed on her tummy she sleeps until we leave at 730am to take Jared to school. This past week since I have been feeding her cereal at 9am and at 6pm she has slept through the night again.
Ali fits in 3-6 month baby clothes and since her sister was in a different season I had to get her a few new outfits this week… she is such a doll baby. Ali is going to be a monkey for her first Halloween.
Alison laughs out loud and is ticklish under her arm pits – Jared loves to make her laugh he says “Hi baby Ali” and then smiles and she loves it!
There is so much more but I had to narrow it down to the big stuff. Kids are fantastic and being able to be around mine everyday and watch them grow is such a blessing. Our life gets better as they teach us the little things we seem to forget when we become adults. Until next month, thanks for reading and learning with us.
