Cynthia Leeann is Four Months

How is my baby already four months old?!?  She turned four months on June 28th and we had her four month well baby visit today.  She is turning into a little character and her personality is shining through everyday.  It is so fun to watch her grow.  




Stats:  
At her four month well check up yesterday, she weighed in at 11 lbs 15 oz and she measured 24 inches long.  The doctor said she is a little small weight wise but she is getting tall!  Her hair is getting a little curly on the sides and thinning out in the back but does appear to be getting lighter in color.  I am still not sure about her eye color.  One day they look brown and then the next they look lighter.  I guess only time will tell what her true eye color will be.

Eating:  
She is currently formula feed with a little oatmeal cereal mixed in to help with reflux issues.  We got the okay from the doctor to start trying to give her a little cereal at dinner time mixed with some formula.  She said after she takes to the night cereal feedings then we can work on adding a breakfast feeding then on to fruits and veggies!
 
          Sleep:
She is a great sleeper at night!  She normally falls asleep between 8:00 and 9:00 and sleeps until 6:00 am.  Then she wakes and has a bottle and normally goes back to sleep for a couple hours.  She is not much of a napper.  She takes a couple random naps about 45-60 minutes long but would much rather spend her day awake.  We are going to start the transition to her crib for night sleeping this month and are hoping it goes well.

Wears:  
She is currently wearing sizes 3 months and 3-6 months depending on the brand.  She is currently wearing size 2 diapers and they are a little big but we had plenty of boxes on hand from our diaper shower and figured she would grow into them and then we don't have to buy anymore diapers right now!

Likes: 
She really likes to chat with any ceiling fan, stroller rides, snuggles with mommy and daddy and her kick n play mat.

Dislikes:  
She is not a fan of being hungry, diaper changes and red lights or stop signs when in the car.  She is not a fan when the vehicle stops moving.

Milestones:  
- She is now consistently rolling over from back to front anytime you put her on her back.
- She went on her first trip to Florida and did pretty good in the car.  She handled most of the drive well but by the last couple hours she was done with the car seat.  We did try and stop often to give her time to be out of the seat and stretch.
-  During our trip to florida she made her first visit to Disney!  We only lasted a couple hours but it was fun to take her for the first time and now we can't wait to take her back!
-  Got to meet all her cousins and grandmother, aunts and an uncle.
- She went on her first boat ride this month and as long as the boat was moving she was happy and content to sleep away but when the boat stopped she was not happy.

10-15 minutes from home and she was done with the car.  We had to leave at 3:00 a.m. to get most of the driving done before she was really awake for the day.  




Cynthia,  Mommy and daddy are really enjoying watching you grow and seeing your personality really start to come out.  We can't wait to see what you do this next month.

Life Update

Our lives have really changed since my last post.  We are now a family of 3.  We welcomed our baby girl Cynthia Leeann on February 28, 2016.  She was born a few weeks early but arrived perfect and we couldn't be happier.




We are also now in the process of selling our current home and building a new home.  We had planned to renovate our current house but realized that we would never be able to fully get what we wanted and therefore picked a plot of land and will be building our dream home.  


I am going to work real hard to keep up this blog going forward.  I am going to do a couple post about my pregnancy and life with a new baby to be able to remember this time in our lives while it is still fresh.  I will also work to keep up with current things in our lives.
