The Baby

Oh you little adorable thing you. Here is Aliza's 4 month update. She has started getting me up at night, and I mean for the past month or more and sometimes twice. Lately it's back down to one. I wondered, cereal? Not ready, spits it out. She is easily distracted when nursing lately, drives me crazy!! She has started cluster feeding in the evening and staying up 3-4 from 5-9 pm instead of 8 pm which is ok as long as I'm feeding during the waking hours. If she is not hungry, she gets TICKED if I try to nurse her and she has also started to bite me with her gums. I yelp, she looks up at me and laughs. mmm hmm. When she is hungry she gets right down to business, so it's like I'm having to relearn her at this stage. She loves her saucer, she plays in there forever, as in I can vacuum and dust while she plays. She is a snuggle baby doll that nestles in your chest and sucks her thumb. Oh that thumb sucking is SO cute. I'm sure it won't be at 3 yrs old but for now it's so cute! She is a giggler, screamer, loves to pick up toys and chew on them now. Grabs Christian's hair and won't let go. She is more of a fusser than a crier for the most part. Her stats are 12 lbs 5 oz weight and 24 inches long both 30%. And her head is 50% can't remember the measurement.

So that's it, this adorable little morsel has me running to the Lord for strength, wisdom, and sanity right now while she wakes me up in the night. She has grown SO fast already and I'm trying to soak in all the babiness for the LAST TIME. ;)

OH and I keep meaning to say, I'm going to be an aunt!!! My youngest brother's wife is 14 weeks pregnant, and the bigger surpise is, with TWINS. I'm pretty excited our kids will finally have cousins and Aliza will have some playmates when we go back to my folks to visit.
