Accidental Wonderland: Four Months

Friday, June 29, 2012

Dear Sesame,

Today you are four months old. I've said it before and I'll say it many times again but seriously where has the time gone? You are growing up way too fast!

Watching a movie with daddy

I'd really appreciate it if you stop growing. You are now in 00 suits and some other 00 clothes. Your brother was still wearing 00 clothes when he was eight months old. Granted you are in most 000 clothes but still please SLOW DOWN!

What you wore to roller derby on ice

Little Miss Attitude for sure. You must know everything that is going on, if you can't see everything you crack it. I think you hate the car because you can't see everyone and everything, hopefully once we turn you around you'll be happier. One time at a roller derby bout we tried to cover your ears as it was so loud, tried to get you to go asleep instead you cried and screamed until we turned you around to watch the bout. It's the same every time, you must see everything.

Loving the baby in the phone

You're sleeping a lot better now, in fact lately you've been spending the whole night sleeping n your bassinet only waking a few times for a feed. Please give your secrets to your brother so your father and I can finally have our bed back. Your naps are totally erratic but we aren't much of a routine family anyway so it works.

Rocking your head left to right to fall asleep

You love standing and prefer to stand rather than sit or lay down. I've heard all the 'don't let her stand or she'll get bow legs' lectures but you won't listen. The attitude just oozes out of you. I love it.

Standing tall

You are such a chatterbox too. The most I've heard you talk is to my grandma, your great grandma. It would seem that your brother and her are your favourite people. I'm sure you could watch and talk to them for hours. It's adorable.

Smiling at daddy

In the last few weeks you've found your hands and feet. Your fingers fing and you can move your feet when you want. Your dad and I love watching your amazement, it's hilarious!

Your teeth are giving you hell lately too. Panadol, Hyland's gel and tablets, teething rings and dummies are now a staple. It's so cruel how teeth hurt so much when it's a natural course for babies and toddlers. Horrible.

Cranky baby

We went on a road trip with your grandma and brother. The trip down was good but you cried a lot on the way home, you were just over it. It was horrible and the next road trip you'll hopefully be facing forward and happier. Everyone fell in love with you down there, I'm sure you captured everyone's hearts.
