I was talking to my mom the other day and she said that she couldn't believe that Adelyn was already 4 months old.  I told her that was funny b/c Corey had just told me it feels like Adelyn should be 4 years old! Haha. I think I've mentioned before that we had a rough first few months but things have definitely settled down around here.  Adelyn is so sweet.  She is smiling lots and even laughing which is just so adorable.  She is rolling over and loves it.  The second I put her down on her back she just wants to roll which makes changing diapers a little more difficult.  And she always has a big brother who is cheering her on as she rolls over (and then rolls over himself so I can cheer for him!).  Oh the diaper changing reminds me of a funny story.  As I was changing Adelyn today I left her diaper-less for a few minutes as she has a bad diaper rash. Well of course she went poop in her sleep sack and Micah proceeds to say as I am using tons of wipes to try and clean up the huge mess "that funny...adelyn big potty"!  Though I will say that wasn't as bad as having  to clean up the time last week when I left Micah run around without his diaper and he went poop in the corner.  Guess I should learn my lesson about diaper-less children!

She continues to follow pretty much the same schedule as last month. She still isn't making a whole lot of progress with sleeping at night but its still not bad so I am not complaining. She goes to bed around 7 or 7:30 and sleeps 12 hours usually waking twice (usually midnight-ish and 4-ish) and then wakes for the morning at 7 or 7:30.  On a good night (like last night) she will just wake once. She takes 4 naps per day...three short (30-45 min) and one long (about 2 1/2 hrs).  And the best thing is usually her long nap is the same time as Micah's so that gives me a bit of a break during the day to either get stuff done or take a nap.  She definitely likes to be held and will let you know that she is not happy when you put her down. She is not really liking her swing or bouncy seats but will sit in a bumbo for a short period of time.  She had a good 4 month check up today...the hardest part besides her having to get shots (and being incredibly fussy the rest of the day) was keeping Micah at hand. He actually did pretty well today as we went to the store and got a donut prior to the appointment and I had him strapped in the stroller eating his donut during the appointment.  He had fun!  It is fun to see Micah and Adelyn interact.  He is really a good brother though as I've already said he is definitely not overly gentle.  I guess thats a brief upate of our sweet little girl at 4 months.
