4 amazing months!


Well Brailey is now just a little over 4 months old! I know I say this a lot, but where has the time gone? It's just flying by!!! I love this little girl more and more and more each and every day.

Braileys Newest Happenings:

  • At 3 months she discovered her hands... and now that she is 4 months she has discovered her feet. She could play with them ALL day. I have even seen her grabbing at them in the middle of the night when she is still asleep. lol
  • She can sit up on her own for about 30 seconds without help... then she will start to go for her feet. If I tickle her back then she will pull herself back up to sitting position. I still have to keep my hands behind her cause sometimes she will fling herself backwards really hard quite suddenly. (Too much strength for one tiny body!)
  • She drools all the time... partly because its normal for her age to have too much spit to swallow and partly because she is still teething. Luckily, the teething doesn't hurt her much anymore.
  • She now sleeps 9.5-10.5 hours each night, but she still ends upside down or sideways by the time I get up in the morning. 
  • She is such a squirm worm and moves around like crazy... especially in the morning. I guess she is a morning person cause that is when she is her happiest craziest self. ha ha. It's getting hard to change her diaper anymore just cause she is either kicking her legs, arching her back, turning to her side, or trying to grab the diaper when I am trying to finish putting it on. 
  • She still can't figure out what the camera is so she will just stare at it. Its difficult to capture a smile.



  • She is such a talker. Most of the time she likes to screech or squeal. She likes to test her vocal abilities. lol. Its pretty funny to listen to her and she is always giving us a good laugh. 

Brailey chatting it up with Daddy. Ignore me. lol.


  • Her doctors appointment got changed til the middle of June. So we currently don't know her stats, but as soon as I find out I will post on it.
  • She tries to put anything and everything in her mouth now, including toys which she has now become fascinated with... especially the rattles and noise makers. 
  • She is starting to not like tummy time. Now that she has figured out how to hold her head up just fine she doesn't see the point in being on her tummy anymore. But when she starts to get a little angry she kicks her legs and tries to pull with her hands... so she usually ends up moving a few inches at most. I'm sure it will still be a while before she starts crawling.
  • She LOVES to be outside now. She enjoys all the different colors and things to see. Plus I am sure she loves the warm weather.

She's doing and learning so many different things all at once and its such a wonderful thing to see. I love being able to watch her grow. Being her mom is such a blessing.
