4 Months Old


It really seems like our little Teagan has blossomed during the last month.  You can tell that she is totally aware of pretty much everything that goes on around her, especially when it comes to watching her big Brother.  She has also become a huge fan of her Daddy, she just lights up when he talks to her or makes faces at her.  The little Princess already has him wrapped around her finger.  
Kisses for Daddy before bedtime

Our little sweetheart has a huge chubby cheek smile that just lights up the room, and her adorable belly laugh matches her adorable smile. I could literally just eat her up!


Her expression in this picture just makes me smile


Teagan is staying awake more throughout the day.  She is usually ready for her morning nap by 9:00am, which will last about two hours, and then her afternoon nap around 1:00pm, which also usually lasts about two hours.  This schedule is pretty much concrete on the days that we are actually home, but since we are usually on the go to swimming lessons and to the pool, Teagan does nap a lot in her car seat....poor thing :-(  Some nights she will take a nap around 6:00pm, but this one only lasts about one hour.  I have been giving her a bath at 8:30pm, and by 8:45pm she is pretty much shot and she is ready to call it a night.  She still isn't sleeping through the night consistently.  I guess she still wants to keep me guessing.  Some nights she will wake up at 1:00am, some nights 3:00am, and some nights she will stretch it out and sleep until 5:00am.....I just never know what she is going to do.  But one thing is for sure, when she does wake up, she eats and goes right back down to sleep, so it doesn't take very long at all.

Teagan still loves her swing
Teagan has done very well with going from being exclusively breastfed to formula fed.  It actually seems to have helped her projectile spit up episodes a bit, but she still has her spit up moments.  Teagan is still in size 2 diapers and she can still wear some of her 3 month clothes, but most of her clothes and sleepers are 6 months.  We definitely have a growing little girl. We are going to see Dr. Leifheit next week for her 4 month check up, so I am interested to see how much she has grown.  Unlike Jack did at this age, Teagan has not gone completely bald, and she has more hair coming in and it seems to be blonde so far.  And Teagan's eyes are continuing to stay blue, people seem to comment on just how blue her eyes are.  I guess they really seem to stand out next to her brother's almost black eyes.  

Teagan still loves the swing, her bouncy seat and her floor playmat.  She has started to grab the toys that dangle down at her, and at first she didn't quite know what to do when she actually got ahold of them.  But she has figured that out, she tries to put the toys into her mouth.  And speaking of putting things in her mouth, Teagan puts EVERYTHING in her mouth....her blankets, her hands, her clothes, other peoples hands and clothes, her toys, yet surprisingly she isn't a fan of the pacifier, go figure.....so I will really have to watch her when she starts moving around.

Looking stylish in her fedora....it really dresses up the white onesie don't you think?

I can't believe how fast the last 4 months have gone by.  We love you very much Teagan Marion, you have brought an abundance of happiness to our family.
