Carol Joy is 4 months old!!

Wow!! Can you believe it???



... you had some growing pains this month with waking up repeatedly in the night to eat, but you have gotten back down to your sleeping schedule of around 9pm- 5am.
... we switched out your 0-3 months clothes for 3-6 months! It was so fun getting out your big sister's old clothes and reliving those memories!!
... we haven't had your 4 month appointment yet, but I think you are around 12 pounds. You bulked up some more this month!
... you are fully a formula baby now, and at the end of this month we introduced rice cereal into your formula-- you gobbled it all down!
... you roll easily from your tummy to your back....and you often wake yourself up at night because you have rolled to your back and you can't get back! But mommy just comes and rolls you over and you go right back to sleep!
...you moved into your room this month! You and your sister now share a room- for what will probably be years to come! I will sometimes come into your room in the morning and you and your sister are just "talking" back and forth to each other as your sister has climbed into your crib to keep you company!
... you smile and laugh ALL THE TIME! you love it when someone smiles at you, the only time you don't give one back is when you are hungry!
... you have started to grab and reach for things, and have discovered your mouth and your feet!!
... you really like to stand up (with help, of course!). We think you will be a walker, chasing after your sister before we know it!
... you are pretty laid back! You don't mind just watching mommy in your bouncy chair!
... you went swimming for the 1st time! Overall, you like it ok...just wait until next summer!
