4 months

Caitlin is 4 months old.  Where does the time go?  I’m not going to lie…some days seem to inch by one minute at a time.  Others fly by in the blink of an eye and I have a hard time remembering all the details.  This is when I wish I had time to keep a daily journal, but it also makes me thankful for the blog…a catalog of our favorite memories.

Caitlin, you are such a joy and what a big month it’s been!  You are so alert and attentive, and you love to stand up (with assistance of course) so you can see all the action.  I sometimes call you ‘Miss Serious’.  You are sleeping through the night (5-7 hours between feedings) and mommy really appreciates that.  When you want something, you grab it, and it goes immediately into your mouth.  You know mommy and daddy’s voices and you light up when you see either one of us.  What a wonderful feeling! 

You’ve moved into your room and sleep in your crib.  We started slowly with naps and then tried a full night.  I slept in the recliner in your room the first two nights to make sure you were ok.  You are becoming such a good napper too.  We started supplementing formula into your diet because I can’t keep up with how much milk you need.  

You found your feet!  Although you haven’t tried to put them in your mouth yet, you found them, and they usually entertain you for a while after you wake from a nap.  I love to watch you on the monitor after you wake up and hear you talking to yourself.  You wake up so happy…most of the time.

Those pictures are SO good. She is a doll! I can't wait to see her again, it's been forever.

Ps. You know she would look even cuter in Razorback Red!! LOL!
