Westyn Reese: Month 5

Westyn Reese

7/22/15 (pic taken 7/19/15)

Weight: 13lbs 6oz

Length: 

Outings this month: Platoro, CO, 4 month well check-up, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Firsts: roll back to front (6/25), trip to the cabin, airplane ride, trip to Mexico, trying to scoot on her tummy but hasn't quite figured it out yet

Likes: mommy (loves her mommy right now, lets other hold her but if she sees mommy-game over), big sister's Elmo, Sophie, riding in the stroller, taking naps by the pool, sitting up but can't figure out how to do it on her own yet, sucking on her toes

Dislikes: getting buckled into the stroller or carseat, riding in the carseat (unless she happens to fall asleep or if she can hold mommy's finger)

Sleeping: ha! Sleeping...what's that?! Let's just say that although she is probably sleeping like the average 4 month old should, Blakelee completely spoiled us so I feel like Westyn should be doing so much better by now! I've busted out the swaddle again because she started pulling her paci out, so I've taken her hands out of the equation! She wakes up anywhere from 1-3x/night and thinks she needs to eat each time she wakes up, the paci won't suffice 90% of the time. She sleeps well during the day, in her swing she'll sleep for hours (swaddled), if I try to lay her in bed swaddled she lasts maybe 30-45min. 

Eating: Exclusively breastfed, eats every 4ish hours during the day, and she's not consistent at night

Looking forward to: watching this girl start moving and seeing her little personality get bigger each day!!

Western Reese: Month 4

Westyn Reese

6/22/15 (pic taken 6/29/15)

Weight: 13lbs

Length: 23.5in

Outings this month: Great Wolf Lodge (Grapevine, TX), 

Firsts: time to lead worship with mommy on Sunday morning, roadtrip to Grapevine, roll from front to back

Likes: cuddling, baths, white noise, paci, tummy time, eating, talking, going on walks, hanging out at the pool, big sister

Dislikes: getting buckled in the carseat (the carseat in general...still), when Blakelee bites her finger (yep, she bit her finger...on purpose), she gets her feelings hurt when mommy walks through the room and doesn't look at her

Sleeping: she had me tricked with her couple nights in a row of sleeping through the night last month :/ ,

one 4-5 hour stretch at night, wakes up 1-2x/night, would sleep all afternoon in her swing if I let her

Eating: Exclusively breastfed, eats every 3 hours during the day usually every, 4-5 hours at night

Looking forward to: going to the mountains and the beach next month, watching this girl become more mobile (however, I'm not in any hurry for that to happen)

Blakelee was throwing a fit the WHOLE time I was taking Westyn's pics today!
