Aria Grace: Four Months

We are four months old, people!!! And life is good!  (Except for teething, which is rough.)  Here's what's been going on!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Weight: 16lbs 1 oz (95th percentile) -as of last week

Height: 25 1/4 inches (88th percentile)

Wearing size 6-9 month clothes.

Sleep-  You still are getting up twice a night to eat.  I can't complain too much because it only takes you about 10 minutes to eat, then you go right back down.  Your naps at work are getting much shorter, and you tend to fight them more now.  You typically fall asleep in your swing in the evening after supper, and wake up when we go upstairs to bed to eat one last time.  We are planning to move you to your room soon, and I'm hoping it will help you sleep longer at night!

Supporting our Kansas teams for the NCAA tournament

Eating-  Still breastfeeding and doing great!  Eating about every three hours, but you are not afraid to let me know it if you are hungry before then.  (It doesn't matter if Mom thinks it's too early or not...we are eating NOW!  lol)

In her swing at work, watching nursery rhyme videos on YouTube...can you see the phone rigged up there on the right???

Likes-  Your favorite thing is to be smiled at and talked to.  You get the biggest grin on your face, and it absolutely makes the day of whomever you are talking to!  You love your baths, kicking around on your play mats, music, and being outside.  You absolutely love all the girls at mommy's work.  They have you so spoiled...all you have to do is make a peep and one of them will come to check on you saying, "Were you calling me, Aria?  Want to come play?"  They have your swing set up in the front office and have lullabies and nursery rhymes ready to play for you.  It is awesome.

Dislikes- Those darn teeth have started to bother you the last week or two and it drives you crazy some days.  Your hands are constantly in your mouth, along with your blanket, and anything else you can hold well enough to chew on.  Since you've been teething you don't want anything to do with your pacifier.

Easter Sunday

Fun Firsts- You learned to roll over both ways this last week!  Lyle also got the first laugh out of you!  Your Dad and I were standing at the stove finishing supper, and Lyle was singing (super loud) to you in your seat, and you just started laughing at him!  The best moment EVER!  During spring break you finally got to meet your cousins Summer and Weston, and Auntie Kristen and Uncle Philip.  The babies were fascinated by each other!  It was fun for all the aunts and uncles to get grins out of you!  You also celebrated your first Easter, and looked absolutely darling in your Easter dress.  We had a great time with family (although you slept through all the Easter egg hunts!)

The Norris cousins

Lyle Update: You still LOVE your brother and he still LOVES you!  I am so happy for this and hope it always continues!  He loves to help with you and entertain you.  When you are sitting close together, if your arm bumps him, he will squeal and say, "Aria!  That TICKLES!!!!"  So funny.

Lyle reading you books.  Precious.

What a perfect addition to our family you are, sweet Aria!  We love you so so much!
