Rosie's 4th month

Stats: weight 12 lbs 13oz (25%), height 24 1/4 inches (50%), head circ 16 1/4 inches (75%) so basically she is a match stick.

Mommy's thoughts: Remember when Rosie slept through the night? That didn't last. I hope think she is teething. She is drooling like crazy and generally more fussy then usual. Lilly hates the drool. She is constantly loosing it over the drool. MOMMY!! ROSIE IS GOING TO SPIT UP ON MY DRESS! Lilly, it's not spit up it's just drool and it won't hurt you. Lillian sprouted her first tooth around this time so I'm hoping that is whats up with my little angel. Because she has been less then angelic this month.

Rosie loves: Her daddy. She had been going through a mom only phase but that seems to be on it's way out. The second daddy walks in the door she is all wiggly and smiley. She really tries to get his attention and is over the moon when she gets it. I love watching my girls love their daddy and watching him love them back is even better. It is a healing balm to my daddy issue wounds.

Rosie likes: Her hands. She really enjoys grabbing at stuff like my hair (which is different from when Lilly was a baby because my hair wasn't long enough for her chubby fingers to get), Lilly's clothes (see above paragraph) etc. She also enjoys chewing on them and using them to grab at my face when she is nursing (which I kinda love).

Rosie dislikes: Being alone. She loves being the center of attention and does not like any time when that is not the case. If she can't be the center of attention then she does this almost cute whiney cry until someone picks her up. Mommy dislikes the whiney cry.

Three Months Old

Little Miss. Rosie is 3 months old now and such a hoot. It is amazing how different she and Lilly are. I thought that all my kids would be basically the same as babies but BOY was I wrong. Here are some fun facts about Rosie's 3rd month of life:

• Mommy was: so glad that Rosie is sleeping through the night. For the most part anyway. She nurses between 7 and 8pm and then wakes up to nurse again around 5am. Even though she goes back to sleep I try to stay up and get my day going because I am generally better at life when I get up before my kids.
• Rosie loves: everyone. She is such a social little girl. She loves to talk and smile and blow bubbles. Lilly was a happy baby but Rosie makes it seem like she was a grouch! I'm totally not comparing them though (yes I am). She already have a special bond with her big sissy that melts my heart. Lilly loves when Rosie smiles at her. Sometimes it makes her laugh which makes Rosie laugh which makes Lilly laugh more and it is pretty much the best thing that has ever happened in the history of things.
• Rosie likes: her mobile. It is one of those with a projector and it belonged to Lillian when she was a baby. Lilly liked it and would drift off to sleep while it played a soft tune but Rosie seems to think it's a disco ball. As soon as it turns on she starts to smile and sing garbley baby songs. To Rosie mobile = instant baby party.
• Rosie dislikes: the car. This is new. Before she would fall asleep almost immediately in the car and now she just cries. To make her stop I must twist my arm like a circus performer and hold the pacifier in her mouth all while tapping it with my finger until she falls asleep. And God forbid I stop the car because then she wakes up and we have to start the process all over again. It is ridiculous. And I pretty sure I would lose my arm if I happened to be in a car accident while in that position.

PS-aren't those pictures hysterical!? I seriously can't take it.

Two months old.

I'm a little behind on this post. Rosie's two month mark was a week ago. I am behind on most things these days though so whatever. Rosie was a champ at her check up. The doctor went on and on about how advanced she is and such. I feel like doctors always say that so that you like coming to their office but I enjoy hearing it all the same. In my opinion she is the smartest and cutest there ever was. (She at least ties with her big sissy.) Here are some fun facts about Rosie's second month of life:

• Mommy was- so happy the baby acne is gone. I forgot how bad it was until I looked at last months picture. Yikes. Mommy is also starting to feel herself again. I have more energy and feel like I can see a future of getting my life back together. One day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! I see it!
• Rosie loves- Smiling! She is such a smiley girl. She smiles at anyone who will chat with her, which is another one of her favorite things. Lilly loves talking to her too and gets so excited when Rosie smiles at her. She says, "Mommy! Rosie loves me." So true.
• Rosie likes- Sleeping. She is a good sleeper. I keep thinking she should have more awake time during the day. Then she starts to get cranky and I am all "What is going on?!" then she yawns and I'm all "Ohhh!" 
• Rosie dislikes- loud noises. Girl is jumpy! For example:   Rosie was asleep on my lap  one night when we were watching the Olympics. One of the athletes totally biffed their sport and I made a "pfffttt" noise because I am totally sympathetic and Rosie just about jumped through the roof. 

I can't wait to see what happens this month.

One Month Old

Rosie celebrated one month of life on "the outside" on Saturday by sleeping, eating and pooping. I can't believe it has already been a month. I can see her changing and it makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I am so excited to see her features and little personality develop but sad because it is already going by so fast. Only 11 more of these short time spans and she will be a year old! Too fast. Here are some fun facts about Rosie's first month of life:

• Mommy was: wondering what color her eyes will be. They are blueish right now and I would love for them to stay that way and be like daddy's. The doctor said it isn't likely though because of my Hispanic blood. Fingers crossed.
• Rosie loves: eating, her paci, sleeping in mama's or daddy's arms, big sissy's kisses. 
• Rosie likes: sleeping in her bassinet, being held upright on a shoulder, pooping.
• Rosie dislikes: not sleeping, not eating and dirty diapers. Oh, and baby acne. Maybe she doesn't mind it but I certainly don't like it.

Time flies when you sleep all day.
