4 months!

We can't believe Louise is 4 months already! She is so much fun. She's gotten really good at smiling, vocalizing, playing with her hands, making everyone love her, and a bunch of other things. She's got gigantic navy blue eyes that just make Justin and I melt. She's 24 inches and 12 lbs 13 oz. She giggled for the first time yesterday! It was the cutest thing ever.
I've started putting her to bed around 8 (she is seriously the easiest baby ever), then I get her up and feed her while she's still mostly asleep when we go to bed around midnight. Then she sleeps until around 8:30. She's so amazing.
As far as her spitting up goes, she's a ton better! She still does it a lot, but not nearly as much as she used to. She only goes through about 2 outfits a day now! We've been giving her Zantac. Hopefully she'll grow out of it soon.
We could start introducing other foods, but I want to wait until at least 6 months. I want to breastfeed for as long as possible, and I'm afraid once she figures out there's other things out there she'll lose interest.


She sure loves her Daddy.



She's got a really strong core. Daddy helps.



Cutie patootie!



Trying on Daddy's glasses.



You can see where she gets her good looks! ;)



Fresh out of the shower.



Grandpa's smelly old hat.



Louise in her blessing gown. Don't be fooled. This picture was taken 2 months after she was actually blessed, but we never got any pictures of her in her gown because right after the blessing she promptly doused the dress in spit up. I figured we'd better get a picture before she grew out of it.



Alex, AKA BUMBO-MAN!!!



She doesn't quite love the Johnny Jump-Up yet, but it's growing on her.



I love him!

  2. She is adorable!! You are definitely not being selfish by wanting to breastfeed her for a long time. I didn't start Bridger on any new food until 6 months, he likes regular food okay but he still loves to breastfeed at 14 months! I don't see us quitting anytime too soon. :) The longer they are breastfed the better in my eyes! You guys are awesome parents! It looks like Louise is SO happy, she really is so cute. :)
