4 Months
Happy Birthday, buddy!
This morning I sit here with a big cup of coffee in hand. Although this is my second time around with a wee-one, an unpredictable sleeper is new to my repertoire, and you've had me Googling "four month sleep regression" and lining windows with foil like a mad woman.
It all started early this month (apparently you're ahead on this "milestone". Yay us...) You still go down every 2 hours (hour and a half if there's a lot of excitement), but the length of your sleep is unpredictable.
And nighttime?
Fuhgeddaboudit! (you're up every three hours)
But as with everything in Babyland, this too shall pass. So for now I revel in bed-sharing, nighttime side nursing, and adorable morning coos as payment for working overtime :)
In other news, you've grown a TON this month and are really becoming your own person. It's apparent that you know us well, and it's a joy to see your little face light up when Dad gets home each night.
Here are your fun facts this month:
You fill our family with so much joy -- you are truly a delight.
Happy 4 months, GG!
Mama loves you.

Here are your fun facts this month:
- You rolled from back to front on New Year's Day. Abigail, Dad, and I were so proud of you!
- Nursing upon waking is a must, however you rarely nurse to bed.
- You love to laugh. Ticking, peak-a-boo, and random sounds really get you going
- You continue to be very chatty. I swear you say "hi"!
- You scream like a Pterodactyl when you're really excited
- You're wearing 6 month clothes already!
- You love sucking your fingers. The middle two are used to soothe you to bed, pointer and middle are in lieu of a daytime bubba, and your thumb or a single finger seems to be your I-think-I-may-be-teething go-to (teething is potential sleep culprit, too).
- Chilled teething toys are a new favorite (another sign...)
- The past few days you've been loving tummy time and are really trying to get your legs tucked under you
