| You lookin at me! |
Having a girl is so much fun! I get to dress up my little doll everyday with the cutest clothes. I feel like things are finally calming down and we are getting into a great routine.
Jessna at 4 months:
*eats every 3-4 hours, almost 30 oz a day
*takes 3-4 naps and sleeps about 6 hours straight at night
*holds head up at tummy time
*sits in a bumbo
*loves tickle/touching games
*smiles a lot
*adores big brother Shrade
*likes to watch people
*does not like to cuddle :( (she prefers to face out)
*gets fussy if she is tired and has to be bounced, not rocked
*can turn 180 degrees on floor during tummy time
*has discovered her voice and it's loud!
Jessna's stats:
Height- 24.5 inches
Weight- 13 lb 11 oz
I never knew how different two babies can be. Jessna is definitely a girl of routine. Since I stopped nursing and started bottle feeding (the best choice I should have made long ago!), I have set Jessna up for a very good feed/wake/sleep schedule and she always eats and sleeps at the same time every day. Wow! The only thing is that I wish she would eat at 5:30am instead of 4:30am, but otherwise she goes back to sleep right away and will sleep until 9:30am. However just a few weeks ago she slept from 10pm-8:30am, so maybe she's changing her sleep patterns to fit my sleep schedule. Oh, and the best thing I like about bottle feeding is that I can look into my little girl's eyes and kiss her sweet head!
After I stopped nursing I started pumping and I could make most of Jessna's bottles, but it took a lot of time out of my day and my back and neck hurt. As much as I want to save money (just got HUGE bills from the hospital), I know that I couldn't do the pumping forever and stay sane. So I recently weaned myself from that. That wasn't easy either. However, life is flowing so much better and I'm having so much fun with my kids. I can get out and enjoy life again and my little girl is to fun to play with.

Such a beautiful little girl! She looks like a feminine of Shrade! Glad that you are enjoying both kiddos now that you are more rested and the routine is settled in. You are such a good mama Shonda. Hugs, Janet
