Esme June - Four Months Old

Esme is four months old today.  The days are going by so fast, but we are just soaking them up.  Esme's favorite activity is anything that included sitting up.  She really enjoys being in her bumbo and watching Parker run around.  She has also become very fond of her activity mat and will reach up and grab the animals.  Objects in general are becoming intriguing.  She will give belly laughs and sweet giggles when Jimmy gives her kisses.  She has started to roll more and even rolled once from her back to her tummy.  We had already stopped using the swaddle and that confirmed our decision.  She loves to twist her body back and forth to "scoot" around and will lift her legs and slam them down when she wakes up.  I sleep through it, but it wakes Jimmy up.  She weighed in at 15 lbs. 3.2 oz (70%) and is 25" long (72%), both of which are a big increase from her last appointment.  She was born about 1.5 lbs less that Parker and is now 1.5 lbs more than he was at 4 months! She is still wearing 3 month clothes, but they are getting very snug and she will be moving to 6 month soon.  She wears size 2 diapers, but has started to leak through sometimes at night so we may have to get some overnight ones.  She is eating 7 ounces every 3-4 hours during the day and will regularly sleep 8 hours or more at night, which sometimes mean she is up at 4.  She is a quick eater and goes right back down, so I don't miss much sleep.  We did a little beach photo shoot at the lake on Saturday and got some cute shots along with our regular pictures at home today.  Enjoy the pictures and have a great week!
