Life: Bella still loves her real food, added sweet potatoes to the list this week. She is a demanding eater, if you are not paying attention and scooping it fast enough she will let you know. The scale isn't showing it but she got some chubby legs!  We love how you can see her develop daily.  Had my first day of working all day without her and than meeting in the evening, so only got to she her for about 2 hours one day this week, that was miserable but when she fights sleep to have more snuggle time with mom it is all worth it.  Sleep is getting better we had our first 7 hour night in 3 weeks, it was like a mini vacation for Mom except I was still up every 2 hours just to check on her. 

Week 19

Weekly Facts:

Weight: 11lbs 3.5oz.

Height: 22.75"
Cloths Size: 0-3
Head Size: 15.5"

Life: Another busy week, especially since we were preparing to host Easter Dinner for Daddy's family and our 4 Month professional photo shoot was on Friday so of course Mommy had to make something and finish it the day of.  Aunt Angie was home to visit for Easter and the weather has been getting slightly nicer for some more walks.Still a rolling champion to the right side that is and sometimes she can roll back to her back but I think she finds it easier to complain knowing someone is always there eager to get their hands on her and help her off her tummy.  Started real foods this last week and so far not a fan of rice cereal, bananas were a hit but pears are the prize winner so far.

Week 18

Weekly Facts:

Weight: 11lbs .5oz. (Cheers to being 11lbs)

Height: 22.5"
Cloths Size: 0-3
Head Size: 15.25"

Life: So supposedly there is a thing called 4 month sleep regression and Bella is totally in that phase. It is difficult for her to give in and fall asleep, then staying asleep is hard too.  Back to up every hour or couple hours is rough after she was sleeping 6-8 hours straight for 10 weeks.  Some nights are so rough that I have resorted to sleeping sitting up with Bella in my arms because any sleep is better than no sleep. Supposedly this only last a couple weeks, I was hoping for a couple days. Bella got her 4 month shots this week. She did great but a little Tylenol to sleep that night was the magic trick.  

Week 17

Weekly Facts:

Weight: 10lbs 15oz. (So close to 11lbs)

Height: 22.5"
Cloths Size: 0-3
Head Size: 15.25"

Life: Bella can roll back to belly from her right side only. I think she has rolled left only twice. She seems to have forgotten how to get off the belly with only a random belly to back roll these days.  She loves to roll but forgets that she hates tummy time when she gets there. No more swaddling of the arms at night is a little rough.  When she is tired she rubs her eyes but pulls the pacifier out and then gets mad. I often find her sleeping on her side now which makes me nervous she will get on her belly so I am up often t check on her.  The video monitor is awesome. You can tell the days that have been gloomy for her photo, this was yet another cold wet day.  So ready for Spring!!!
