four months

 Happy 4 months to this little love bug!  Caimbree turned 4 months on Sunday and we had her shots today.

Length: 23.5 inches--10%
Weight:  11 lb 2 oz--below 5%

I think the majority of her weight is in her cheeks!  We love those sweet chubby cheeks!

*Caimbree is a master at grabbing anything and everything.  She especially loves to grab Heidi's hair and her binky.
*Hasn't been sleeping very well for about 3 weeks or so.  She usually goes down around 7:30 and then has been waking up either around 1am or 4:30am or both.  Last night she went down around 8:30 but then kept waking up after 20 minutes and finally settled herself around 9:30, woke up at 3:30 and got the binky and then stayed asleep until 6:30.  It's very inconsistent and I have no idea what to do or what I'm doing wrong.  I'm sure she will grow out of it with time.
*Usually takes a shorter nap in the morning, longer afternoon nap, and a short evening catnap.  Still really no
 consistent schedule but until her night sleep is established I'm sure we won't see much of a schedule.
*I thought she would have brown eyes but her eyes keep getting more blue.
*Blows lots of bubbles.
*Loves to laugh and we love to hear her laugh.
*I would say she's a mix between Heidi and Savanna as a baby...not nearly as high strung as Heidi was but not quite as easy going as Savanna.  She is pretty chill most of the time, but when she is mad, she let's you know loudly.  Savanna always plugs her ears when she cries.
*Has rolled from her tummy to her back about 5 times in a row, but hasn't done it since.
*Sucks on her hands a lot.
*Has started noticing her hands and I often see her hands in front of her face.
*Definitely wants mom when she is upset.
*What little hair she has in falling out, especially the back.  She has bald spot all around the middle of her head.
*Not very tolerant of bows.
*Loves her bath.
*Only likes the hospital binky and refuses any other.  She can't keep the binky in so it is a constant game of her pulling it out and screaming and us putting it back in.
*Coos a lot.
*Likes to be held most of the day and prefers to be held facing out.
*Likes her play mat and bouncy seat.  She likes to coo at the animals on her bouncy seat.
*The doctor said it was okay to start cereal, but I am not ready to start that anytime soon unless she starts acting like she really needs it.
*Names we call her include Caimbers, Caimbree Rae, Mai Me (Savanna's name for her), and Rae Rae (a name Heidi started calling her one day).

Overall, Caimbree is a delightful little girl.
I still can't believe she is already 4 months old.
She is definitely loved around our house!

We love you, Caimbree!
