Audrey 4 Months old!

My sweet Audrey turned four months old today. Quite amazing that only 4 months ago, I was sitting around fat and uncomfortable waiting impatiently for her arrival, only to be surprised with labor that evening...

(note to self: please ask your children why they choose to come in the evening hours when mommy needs SLEEP! Why couldn't they have started labor in the morning hours after mommy has a good nights sleep and is well rested and ready for said labor??)




Audrey is getting to be so much fun. She is hilarious, and has such a loud, and happy disposition.

She discovered a few things this month.

One thing she has discovered are her hands, which she will hold in front of her face inspecting followed by a all you can eat hand munching session. Its almost impossible to get a picture of this girl with OUT her hands in her mouth. She is also a finger sucker. She actually sucks the same fingers Chad did when he was a baby.



The other thing she has discovered is her VOICE! Last month, we had some Aghoo-ooo-oos...This month, she has become quite the talker. I sooo wish there was a way to express how cute her little baby talk is, but some things can not be duplicated in picture and words.



One night, we were reading books to Brynn before bed and I brought Audrey in bed with Brynn and layed her next to Brynn and Audrey turned to her sister and was TALKING TALKING TALKING. Chad and I were in TEARS with how cute this was! It was so funny!

Which leads me to another thing she has discovered: Brynn! And not just "oh, look! There is a blob in the distance running around like a crazy Hyena" she actually looks at Brynn and watches carefully at what she is doing/saying/breaking(had to throw that in there *wink*). She laughs at her sister and gives big'ol smiles when Brynn comes and kisses her. Its pretty cute! I cant wait until they can play together.

In the milestone area, Audrey has rolled from back to front ONCE! But I was in the other room, so I hesitate to call it until I see it with my own eyes. Chad saw it, but we have had no action since then.

She loves to sit, and I think she will be sitting independently in the next few weeks....I sit her with the boppy wrapped around her booty and she can sit like that for a while.
We have a Bumbo seat, but I don't like those, it just looks so unnatural and I would *think* that it would actually go against the learning-to-sit process.

Not like I am in a hurry or anything, I am certainly enjoying this squishy baby who cant get into any trouble phase. I know from experience once this kid starts moving, my somewhat peaceful existence with just a toddler and non-moving baby (if you can even call THAT peaceful) will be over.

That's about all I can think of...oh yeah, Audrey is NOT sleeping through the night, but it doesnt feel draining at all, but I would like to work on it now that we are at the 4 month mark...we wont be doing any type of baby food until 6 months, she is I think 16lbs?, and wearing size 2 diapers and 6 month clothes.

Brynn is turning TWO on Sunday which is just unbeleivable...for some reason, I am having a hard time with the age TWO mark...her turning one was exciting, but TWO makes me a little sad that that phase is done and over with, despite the fact that I have SO MUCH to look forward to as both girls get older, its still a little hard to let go.
