There is a first time for everything!

At just one week shy of her ''4 Month Birthday'' Sissy rolled over for the very first time today!

Well maybe it was yesterday.

She would hit a "major" baby milestone right around midnight and thus make me guess on a date for her baby book.

See I laid her down for the night on her belly (don't judge, I know they say to lay babies on their backs but I'm a rebel. What can I say.) and then I went and hopped in the shower. Afterward as I was brushing my teeth I heard her fussy cry. So I finish brushing my teeth (can you tell she's the fourth?) and head to her room where I find her laying on her back, staring up at her mobile and looking completely confused. I flip her back over onto her belly and she resumes sucking on her binky and falls right back to sleep.

It might not be a big deal to her but as her mother I can say, that she started rolling over before any of her brothers. Bubba didn't roll over until right after the 4 month mark. I remember because as a first time mom I was freaking out that at his four month well baby visit. The paper said that at 4 months he should rolling over but he wasn't rolling over. Was there something wrong with him? Was he okay? Was he going to be delayed for life?

You know, first timer worries.

Then I had Pooks who finally decided just shy of 5 months to roll over from belly to back. He had me slightly worried because he didn't roll the opposite way until NINE months old. I know people whose baby started cruising furniture at that age, lol. He was a very laid back baby.

I know that Peanut rolled for the very first time just one day shy of the four-month mark. I know because I blogged about it, ha! So now I'm doing the same with Sissy. So one day, eventually, when I finally fill out her baby book I can pull up the blog and search ''milestones'' and transfer all her firsts to her book. See then I'll look like some stellar Mom who even on her fourth baby still found time to record every last milestone in a baby book. Baby book, blog...really what's the difference? And while this has nothing to do with rolling, I'm sharing it just because she is so dang cute!

 

and yes, her hair really is that out of control in the back. I think she may be well on her way to growing a mullet :)

3 months, already!

Sissy, today you are three months old.

I can barely believe it! It feels like you've been a part of this family much much longer than three months but also impossible that you're already that old! I'm not trying to brag, but you are quite possibly, the perfect baby. You just take life as it comes; you only cry when you think you are ''starving''. You sleep through any and everything. Brothers screaming, dog barking, door bell ringing, vacuuming, the TV blaring--doesn't even phase you. Whenever we run errands, or pretty much anytime we go anywhere for anything, Mommy wears you in a carrier...you immediately snuggle in and fall asleep. The only 'issue' this has caused is you are a wee bit spoiled...and you're starting to hate your car seat. You rarely get to ''full blown screaming'' level but you sure do make lots of fussy sounds while we're driving! 99% of the time you are just so happy and so content.
At just 3 months old you:

• already sleep through the night...and I mean the whole night. You usually go to sleep around 9pm and sleep straight through without waking at all, til 7 or 7:30am.
• you bat at toys on your floor gym and even grasp your crinkly toys while in your car seat
• love to put weight on and bounce on your legs; whether on mom & dad's laps or in the johnny jump-up
• still nurse every 3 hours during the day {but now nurse on both sides each feeding}
• are squealing and gurgling, cooing and have even giggled a few times
• love watching your brothers. you'll sit in your swing and just watch them play
• still fit into size 2 diapers but will probably fit into 3's soon; you wear 3mos Carter's sleepers and onesies but 3-6mos outfits/dresses
