Norah turns 4 months old!

Norah just turned 4 months on the 27th and I can't believe 4 months has gone by that quickly. It feels like we just left Virginia and we were preparing for her arrival! I would have to say 4 months is my favorite age so far, she is doing so much, her schedule is really established and she is so much fun at this age. Here are some pics of her lately:

Norah loves going for walks in her stroller

A little about Norah: Norah is such a happy baby! She is always smiling and just got her belly giggle about a month ago, it is soooo cute and makes me smile!

She is super flexible and loves being out and about, which I love! If we are out and about she usually takes smaller naps in her carseat, but we usually try to be home for her afternoon nap, since that nap is usually her longest. But when we are home all day she has a good schedule and is a really good sleeper! Its nice that she can go back and forth. She usually sleeps 1 to 2 hrs in the morning and 2 to 3 hrs in the afternoon, with 2 small 45 minute naps around lunch and in the evening. She is still on a 3 hr schedule, but I love that now her naps are established with the 3 hr schedule and I can't wait for when she is on a 4 hr schedule and her 2 mid naps will drop. I have been following Babywise for the most part and love many of the concepts, its really worked for us. She sleeps from 8:30 at night until 6:45 or 7 in the morning. She is still sleeping 10 hrs at night straight through. She started sleeping 8 to 10 hrs at night around 5 or so weeks and has ever since, with the exception of when she started to roll over and teeth all in the same week :). She loves sleeping on her belly with her butt in the air. She wanted to sleep on her belly as soon as she could rollover, which was about a month ago. We tried swaddling her to keep her on her back, but within a day or so she knew how to roll over being swaddled and then it was unsafe so we got rid of the swaddle, she is our little Houdini :)

Norah also LOVES her baths! She can be super fussy and as soon as we put her in the bath, she stops crying. She has always loved her baths since the first time we gave her a bath when she was first born.

Norah also loves babbling and talking to us now, she has been doing it for a couple of weeks now and it cracks us up. She is just like her parents..loves to chat it up! In the morning, I know she is up because I can hear her talking to herself :)

Another new thing for Norah has been the discovery of her feet and how good they taste :) She loves grabbing her feet and sucking on them.

Norah has always loved trying to get her thumb and she has officially mastered it :)

Overall Norah is such an easy baby and I'm thankful she is doing so well!
