Summer is finally here and we are celebrating Father's Day and Adrienne turning 4 months old today!
WHAT DOES ADRIENNE LIKE?
Adrienne is becoming more aware of the world around her. She has started to be really interested in her toys and tries to fit anything she can grab into her mouth. She still likes looking at the pictures we have hanging on the walls and is becoming more interested in books. She has been enjoying Chicka Chicka Boom Boom a lot! She still is a happy girl during bath time and has started to kick in her tub. She hasn't quite discovered splashing yet but I am sure both Adrienne AND Mommy will need a towel after bath time soon:)
WHAT DOES ADRIENNE DISLIKE?
Most of the time Adrienne is a pretty happy baby. One thing that seems to upset her is when we have to wipe her mouth. Since she spits up many times throughout the day, she unfortunately needs lots of wiping!
HOW IS ADRIENNE SLEEPING?
Adrienne had a good stretch of sleeping about a month ago, but has now gone back to waking up every 3-4 hours. Luckily, I am now on summer vacation so I don't mind the lack of sleep quite as much. We are working on the transition into the crib right now. Don't let the pictures below fool you though. Each time we get her to sleep in the crib it only lasts about 20 minutes. Hopefully in her five month update we can say that we made it into the crib full time! (By the way, these pictures are from naps. Adrienne isn't allowed pillows/blankets in her crib at bedtime)
HOW IS ADRIENNE EATING?
Adrienne is a great eater. She has her four month doctor appointment on Tuesday and we are very curious to see how much she weighs now. (I'll put an update on her weight HERE: 12 lbs 14 oz. She moved up to the 25 percentile! after we go to the appointment). She is still only eating (drinking?) breastmilk and we plan to continue that until she is 6 months old and can start with solids.
HOW DOES ADRIENNE PLAY?
I had a teaching conference to attend last week in Grand Rapids, so Adrienne was able to spend 3 days with her Aunt Amy and cousins, Annie Lou and Sam (Thank you so much!). Adrienne had a blast watching her busy cousins and was all smiles. It was amazing how much she learned to do in just three days. She mastered the exersaucer and started making new sounds with her lips. She changes so much every day now!

Visiting with Grandpa
Adrienne has been spending a lot more time in her carrier. It's her favorite place to nap :) zzzz
She loves to use her legs.
Uncle Matt is a natural!
Trying to get pictures of her in all of her adorable outfits before she outgrows them!
We love that smile:)
Aren't baby sounds the best?
