Where has the time gone?

I cannot believe that in one week my baby will be five months old! She is growing up so fast. It's hard to believe that on New Years Day it will be halfway until her first birthday. Kylie is still, in my opinion, the best baby anyone could ask for. She is happy and smiling 95% of the time.



Facts about Kylie:

  • Still looks like her daddy according to 90 percent of the people we know. We hope she grows out of that...HA HA

  • At her 4 month checkup she was 12 lbs and 5 oz (exactly two pounds heavier than her 2 month checkup), and 24 and a half inches long. I can already see that she is going to be taller than me. Her next checkup is when she is 6 months old. Can't wait to see how much more she has grown.

  • She still sleeps all night (from about 11pm until 7 or 8am). Poor baby is up late because of mommy and daddy's work schedules. Mommy has to feed her when she gets off at 11pm :(

  • She now moves in her sleep. Before I was able to put her to bed and she would sleep all night on her back. Now I put her to bed on her back and when I get her up in the morning, she is on her tummy with her feet under her, and her little butt in the air.

  • She still loves to be held and cuddle with her mommy and daddy.

  • She is a great napping buddy!! We lay on the couch together and take naps quite often.
    She sits with us helping her and likes to pull herself up to the sitting position while holding onto our fingers.

  • She is still moving all of the time. The only time her legs stay still is when she is asleep. She loves to sit in her bouncy seat and kick those legs. We don't have to bounce her in the chair, she moves herself with all of the kicking she does. She kicks so hard that the toys hanging down have flipped over the other side of the toy bar a few times.

  • She rolls over both ways. She likes to lay on her tummy in her crib and look at the colorful butterflies on her crib sheet.

  • She now takes her pacifier out of her mouth and can put it back in by herself...most of the time. When she takes it out of her mouth, she likes to hold on to it with her thumb.

  • She now laughs out loud. She first did it about a week ago. She only does it sometimes, but when she does, it is a full belly laugh. Her whole face lights up! I have told several people that she is laughing out loud. When I try and make her laugh to show someone she just gets a huge smile on her face like she is going to laugh, but she doesn't make a sound. (She loves to make a liar out of her mommy)
  • Her favorite "toys" are her bear blanket and her burp cloths.
  • She has found her feet and likes to pull on them. Thankfully they haven't gone into her mouth yet. I'm sure that day is coming.

I can't wait to continue to watch her grow and learn. She learns something new almost every day. I love her so much and I am very proud to be her mommy!!! There are times I am so tired after work, that I just want to go home and sleep, but as soon as I see her I get more energy.
