Dear London,
Today you are four months old! I know I say this every month, but this month really felt like it went by faster than ever. Perhaps it's because you are getting older and I kind of want time to slow down just a little bit?! I still think of you as my tiny little newborn, but you have turned into such a bubbly and curious-about-everything-around-you baby girl almost overnight it seems.
This past month we have continued to see your happy little personality shine. You have been laughing up a storm and love to sit up (and more recently, stand up) and look at everything the world has to offer. One of your favorite things right now is sitting in your Bumbo while you watch your big brother play. It doesn't matter what Noah is doing, you just love to watch him. You continue to enjoy tummy time, and have been getting more and more interested in toys. Mommy is looking forward to the day that you and Noah can actually play with each other, as well as the day that your big brother learns to share toys ;)
These past few weeks have become a bit more predictable in terms of your daytime schedule. You currently take 3 naps/day, including a long afternoon nap (2-2.5 hrs). I wish I could say you are sleeping through the night on a consistent basis, but unfortunately, we've hit somewhat of a rough patch with your nighttime sleep. Most nights, you are still waking up once (sometimes twice) a night. Perhaps the "4 month sleep regression" has decided to pay our house a visit? Regardless, you still remain a very happy baby, so we can't complain about the lack of sleep too much ;)
This weekend we celebrated your first 4th of July, as well as Mommy and Daddy's 7 year wedding anniversary! And last night, Grandma Schmitt, along with your Great Uncle Tony and Aunt Lorraine came into town from NY to visit us this upcoming week. They have been spoiling you and your brother so much already, including a trip to the toy store, and of course, lots of cuddles for you ;)
Summer is in full swing now, and even though most days it is 95+ degrees outside, we are loving this hot & sunny summer weather! We've been spending our days at the zoo and enjoying time with our new friends here in SC.
Loving tummy time this month!
All smiles :)
