4 Months old and summertime!

I haven't posted in awhile since I have been busy starting my summer, so bare with me...this may be a long post with lots of pictures!

AK is now 4 months old. I can't believe it! I think you weigh about 14 pounds but will find out soon at the 4 month checkup. You wear 3-6 month clothes.  You still are not a big fan of your carseat, but you did great going to Mimi and Nanny's last weekend.  We didn't have to stop once on our way there ~ 4 hours! You take about 3 good naps a day and a couple of cat naps throughout the day. You still love your swing and take one nap in it a day.  You are ticklish and you are laughing a lot now! We love it! You are still eating about every 3- 3 1/2 hours, but you hate the bottle!  We try and try, but you still do not want anything to do with it. We give you a bath every night before bed and you LOVE it!  You kick and squeal the whole time. Daddy still reads you books while we are putting on lotion and jammies!  He is such a good daddy. You have started getting up more at night... what's up with that girly?  Maybe it is just a phase, but for now... I am going to treasure those sweet moments I get to hold you at night.  You are growing soooo fast! We are so in love with you and are enjoying every second with you!



We recently had a playdate with S at Lake Fayetteville... Maybe they shared a stroller for a bit! :)




This weekend we are at Pappy's for Memorial Day. This was AK's first time on the lake and she did pretty good. Hopefully the rest of the lake weekend will be just as good. We bought her a little blow up bath tub and we filled it with water so it would warm up and she LOVED swimming in it. I am so thankful I get to be with my baby all summer long. I know this summer is going to go by way to fast, but for now...I am going to snuggle my girl and soak up the sun!

Birthday and Peace of Mind

Today is my love's birthday!  Happy 27th birthday Brent!  We are having our friends, Nathan and Allison, over for dinner tonight.  Allison and Brent share the same birthday so Nathan and I have an excuse to eat cake! 
BTW...13 days left of school!!!  Oh how I can't wait! This summer, I have plans to go on the lake and spend lots of time outside with A!  Teaching is one of the best jobs for a mom and I am so thankful for the time I get to spend with her.  I am also looking forward to lunch dates with my friends and their babies this summer since we will all be off.


Love her so much!!

A is officially moved into her room without us upstairs now.  For the last two weeks, Brent and I have stayed in one of the extra bedrooms upstairs with her.  Ha!  I never knew it would be so hard to leave her alone in her room.  But finally, we have gotten a routine down and I feel better.  With that being said... have any of you heard of AngelCare?  It is a baby monitor that detects breathing movements when they are in their crib. It goes under the mattress. If it does not detect movement for 20 seconds it sends off an alarm.  This thing is AMAZING!!!  It gives me such peace of mind! For every movement it detects, a little green light blinks so you don't have to worry about waking your baby up by putting your hand on his/her stomach (we all do this)! I am able to get so much sleep at night.  I bought mine off Amazon for around $60.  Well worth it!!
