Molly is 4 Months!


What Molly's Been Up To:

*Weighs 16lbs 1oz putting her in the 90-95th percentile (Caroline weighed 14.5 pounds at 4 months and around 16 at 5 months).
*Her length is 25 3/4 inches, again the 90-95th percentile (Caroline was 25 inches at 4 months). Guess both girls have Daniel's tall gene!
*Wearing Size 2 diapers during the day and 4 overnights at night. (C wears 4s during the day and 5s at night now)
*She's wearing 3-6 and 6 month clothes
*If everything is normal (no teething, cold, playing, chatting, rolling over, wetting through our diaper) she will sleep 7p-7a.
*She is turning over from back to belly. The second you put her down, she's flipping over.
*Due to her turning over, she is now sleeping in sleep sacks. We like the Swaddle Designs and Aden and Anais ones. I found her face down crying into the mattress a couple of times, so I knew our swaddling days were over.
*She will sleep on her belly at night if she rolls over in her sleep, but as she begins to wake up in the am, she realizes she's on her tummy and will fuss or chat until I come get her at 7.
*Unswaddling her arms has proven to be harder then with Caroline, who wanted her arms out from the get go. Molly is sleeping great at night unswaddled, but naps are hard b/c when she turns over, she wakes up and cries. 


*She's giggling more and more. She has a belly laugh that will bring you to your knees, it's so adorable!
*Molly and Caroline like to have chat sessions where they see who can get the loudest. This is especially fun in the car or when I'm on the phone.
*She wants to sit up badly. Every time I have her angled on my legs or in the bouncy, she immediately pulls her head up as if to say, I want up! She is sitting in her bumbo on a regular basis now.
*She still enjoys tummy time, and Caroline enjoys it with her.
*Eats every 4 hours. Usually 7, 11, 3, 7-730 and takes 8-8.5oz per feeding. Her biggest feeding is in the morning usually.
*We have started eating a little rice cereal at night after her "supper" bottle before her catnap around 5. (Pics to come)


*Not only has she begun teething and cut ONE tooth as I recently blogged about, but she has now cut her second one as well!
*She'll easily beat you in a stare down contest and then smile when you look away!
*Molly is just an all around easy baby and has been the perfect addition to our family! I'm loving her little personality!

I know Caroline looks bigger in their comparison shots but I think it was just the distance that I took the pictures at b/c there is NO WAY I could put Molly in the 3 month onesie again. Someone may have turned me in for child abuse for being that cruel. ;) It was a stretch last month, I wasn't going to try it again. Instead, I went for a sure bet, the 6 month outfit that fits her perfectly!

And as you can see, I've been blessed with smiley babies! Love them!
