4 months

Can you believe it? I can't. These few months have really been the best and the hardest months of my life. Taking care of a baby at home is nothing like taking care of a baby at work. Katelynn is really growing so much. She can roll on to her side either way but has not made it to her tummy yet. Her arm tends to get in the way. She loves to be outside and loves to be held by mom or anyone.
Do you remember the 4 am post a few months ago well? Well, it is still her favorite time to get up in the morning for a feeding. She goes to bed at 8 and will usually wake up at 4. There has only been two or three time where she has slept until 6:30. I can't wait until that becomes a regular habit.
She hates the swing so we have replaced it with the exersaucer. She is getting used to that. She doesn't really play with the toys yet, she just looks at everything. Her favorite toy is fer hands. Most times you will see her sitting with her hands in or near her mouth. She doesn't really reach for toys yet, but will hang on to them for dear life if you put her fist around them. She is getting better at sitting in the bumbo and loves to watch Ben in the garage. She loves to play patty cake, but hasn't figured out peek a boo.
She gets so many kisses and loves in a day there is no way she doesn't know that she is loved.
When we went in for her eczema they also weighed and measured her she is 16lbs and 2oz and 26 in. She is wearing size 3 diapers and moving on to 6-9 month clothes. When you pull her out of the bumbo her legs get stuck, it's so funny.
We are getting ready for a trip out of town. So, I better go. See ya later.

Being a mom is so hard, but rewarding...sometimes you have to look hard for the rewards (depending on the day). You are doing good. Have fun on your trip. Maybe exercise Katelynn's legs so they don't get stuck in the bumbo anymore :)
