Roly Poly Giggly Baby


Do you know what I love love love love?? The sound of little tiny baby giggles! Lucy giggled for the first time on Thursday while we were at the doctor for her 4 month check up and shots (before the shots!). It is the sweetest little sound in the entire world! I have spent the last 3 days trying to get her to do it again, but all I've gotten is a tiny little one last night before her bath... and some blank stares as I am sure she is wondering what her crazy mommy is doing!

Lucy has been sleeping in her crib since last Friday night and is doing well! Sleep "training" is hard, but every night gets a little better. She is going down like a champ and usually only has one bout of crying during the night. We are "making" her go three hours between feedings, which she is more than capable of, although sometimes she wakes up after 2 and fusses for a bit before going back to sleep.

She is the cutest little sleeper. She likes to sleep on her side in the fetal position with her hands right by her mouth. The only problem she has is that she keeps rolling to her belly in her sleep and then waking up mad! She has been rolling belly to back for about 6ish weeks now so in theory she shouldn't have a problem getting back to a comfy position - but she does! Hopefully she will start to figure it out, but for now, it is pretty funny!

Lucy's 4 month pediatrician appointment was Thursday and she only got 2 vaccines (and 1 was oral) and she did great! She weights 12 pounds, 5 ounces and is 23 inches long. She is still a tiny little peanut, but hey - somebody has to be small! Lucy has to go for a hip ultrasound in the next 2 weeks because the doctor noticed asymmetrical folds in her little thighs and her right hip is a little clicky (do you like those medical terms?). Hopefully it will be something we can just watch and she will outgrow, but worse case scenario she will need a little brace. Hopefully we will know more soon. Other than that, my giggly roly poly baby is doing great!

Dying Easter eggs!
