Sam I Am is 4 months

Samantha turned four months on the 20th. I wish I could just freeze her right here. She has stolen all of our hearts. I always thought it would be hard for me to love a daughter as much as my boys, but that of course changed the day that I had her. She is so engaging now, always talking and smiling, blowing bubbles and screaming. She is starting to be quite entertaining at church. She is reaching for everything and wants to put it in her mouth of course. She rolled over over a few days before turning 4 months. Sleep wise she isn't doing to great. She isn't very regular, so I think that makes her wake up alot. Also right now she is on an anti-biotic for a possible ear infection which I think has been upsetting her tummy.

She weighed in at 16lbs 4 oz. Isaiah was 17lbs 4 oz. and Xavier was 15. She is 25" which is what Xavier was also, but Isaiah was the longest at 26". The doctor said that she slowed down on her weight gain, which he said was caused by the "third child effect". Meaning she gets distracted while eating. She totally does! The boys can be pretty loud, and like to talk to her alot, which gets her pretty distracted. She also likes to smile and talk to me. I need to find a quiet space a few times a day so that she can get a good feeding. She hasn't been taking a bottle recently, which I guess is my fault for not being consistent. For the most part she is a happy baby.

Solids start in a few weeks!


This is her laughing /screaming face:

I love that chubby little girl. She reminds me of Brooke at that age. Her outfits are so cute, and I especially love that one of her in the Bumbo.
