Letters to Abigail: Happy Four Months!!

Dear Abigail,

You are such a great baby! You are happy 99% of the time and always so relaxed.

You are wearing a size 2 diapers and size 6 month clothes (but 9 month footie pajamas). We have added 2 tbsp of cereal to every 6 ounce bottle, and you still eat 4-5 times a day. I tried to feed you cereal from a spoon the other day, but you weren’t impressed. We will have to work on that this month. I don’t know your exact weight and height but we have a doctor’s appointment next Wednesday to find out.

You found your voice and have been chatting up a storm. You know exactly when we laugh and smile and usually laugh and smile with us. You still haven’t cut any teeth but I think you will soon.

You’re usually ready for bed around 8:00 p.m. and sleep solidly until we wake you at 6:30 a.m. but I think you would sleep later if we let you. You’re still in your bassinet beside our bed but I think you may outgrow it soon. I’m not ready to move you out of our room but I wonder if I ever will be ready. I still worry that you are going to stop breathing and check on you at least 4 times a night. I guess that’s part of being a Mom though.

I had to pack away all your size 0-3 month clothes this month and it was really sad to me. 

You are growing SO fast.

This month you 1) went to your first outdoor movie, 2) held your bottle for the first time, 3) went to another outdoor concert, 4) went to your first wedding shower, 5) rolled completely over and 5) had your first cold.

Daddy and I love you more and more each day! We feel extremely lucky to have such a wonderful little girl.

Happy 4 Months, Abigail Suzanne! We love you so much.
