4 months cuter

q: how are you today?

a: you are cute.

4 months cuter...

• you enjoy looking at your hands


• you hold your feet


• you roll from your tummy to your back almost immediately avoiding tummy time


• you squeal


• you'll hold on to papa's thumb and pinkie when he waves them in front of you


• you know where i am and will turn to the correct side while laying


• your nai nai says she loves you as much as she loves papa


• you can scratch your own little head


• you look all over the room


• you seem so curious


• you babble a lot with your fingers in your mouth


• you communicate differently: crying, talking and squealing when tired. shaking, eyes a wide and complaining when hungry.
• your neck is stronger
• when you hold both feet, it's fun to hold you cause you are a little bundle.

my love for you increases with every day. i'm excited to see you grow and learn.

My little jesture

"Rainbow eyes"

• I love staring at her.


• She makes the most darling faces.


• She often grabs a tuff of her hair as she feeds.


• She'll usually cry when waking up out of confusion and hunger.


• She'll make a little trumpet sound as she stretches out.


• Mushy meadows has coined her smile as "rainbow eyes".


• When I hold her she almost always tries to eat my arm.


• She seems curious always looking about.


• She feeds often.


• She pooed on papa's hand last week.


• She starts to jiggle and dance and sometimes looks up to me when she wants to eat in the middle of the night.


• She seems to recognize my voice and will ligthen up when I speak.


• Her cord fell out on the 17th.

Feeding marathon

We thought we had everything

figured out but then you started

to kick and pout

Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp

Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp

Finally put hubby and baby to sleep. We haven't napped since 9 this morning. Baby was on a feeding marathon. Not sure what is wrong exactly. We are currently breastfeeding and supplementing w/ formula. We had a nice little pattern going for the past couple days. Then today I thought maybe my breast milk will be enough for baby since she spit up the last formula feeding. But this began a long day of right, left, right left, baby sleeping, put baby down, baby wakes up, left, right ...etc. Worried for her. Off to bed now. If you have any advice do tell. :) Thanks.

Introducing ....

Currently typing with one hand. Speculation regarding end of baby watch 2009 was correct. :) Little Serene Cloud (translated meaning) was born on day 13 @ 1:36 A.M. weighing 7.2 pounds. Water broke naturally @ 8:00 A.M on the previous day. Long labor process. Unfortunately the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. Little cloud was fortunately though healthy and that's all that matters. :) More details to come.

P.S. Life is not yet serene but filled of joy.
