Jade's 4 Month Appointment

4 Month Check Up:

Friday, January 15th - 4 months, minus 1 day

Weight: 14lbs 4oz

Height: 26.5 inches

Reaction to shots: Cried for about 30 seconds then fell asleep for 2 hours.

4 Month Update:

Sleep schedule: Jade is still our amazing sleeper. She went through a rough patch where she was sick for a few weeks with a cold and that kind of threw her off but she's getting back to her old patterns. Paige was sick at the same time too (with an ear infection and chest cold)... Let's just say, for about 3 weeks, I don't think I slept longer than an hour at time because of those cute littles. It breaks your mom heart to watch and hear your kids be sick. Anyways, on Jan 18th, we moved Jade to her own room. It's jungle themed. She loves it! She now won't nap anywhere but in her bed or in her car seat... which is sad for me because she no longer wants me to snuggle her to sleep.

Her 5 Current Loves: 

1. Her Sister: Jade will be crying (screaming) and Paige will plop herself down right in front of her and she instantly stops crying and starts smiling. Those two girls have the most precious relationship. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

2. Bath time: She's learned she can kick up tidal waves in the bath and oh boy does she get water EVERYWHERE! haha

3. Smiling: She LOVES to smile. One of the best parts of my day is getting her out of bed in the morning. Paige now goes into her room with me to get her out and a little short story for you... colton and I always go in to get Paige from naps and in the morning by saying "gooood mooorning!" and now Paige does the same thing to Jade and it's absolutely adorable.

4. Her mama: No joke, she's obsessed with me. Not so much a daddy's girl... She's clingy, already, which is fine with me. It takes a LOT of work to raise kids and if she wants to be with me and smile at me all day, I'll take that payment anyday!

5. Cooing: Jade has got some serious lungs on her. She scream-talks! She sounds like a cat most of the time doing it.

Nicknames: I feel like nicknames just come naturally when you have kids... We call Jade - "JD" (Jade Dawn), I call her "Little" and I'm pretty sure Paige thinks her name is "sister" haha!
