4 months!

My baby is 4 months old! She is the sweetest little baby that ever was. Seriously.

Maxwell at 4 months…

and Spencer at 4 months….

Several people have commented that she looks like Spencer but I say, no way. She looks so much like Maxwell at this age. Whoever she looks like, she sure is cute!

She wasn’t much into smiling for our photoshoot. Both of her big brothers were in the room too and I think she was just trying to keep up with them…and maybe a little scared by their rambunctious behavior! ha!

Case in point…brother photo bomb! 🙂

Samantha is loving her hands these days and chews on them a lot. We recently got out the jumperoo and she has a blast rocking back and forth. She’s trying hard to roll over but can’t quite get past her side yet – that bottom arm just gets stuck!

Sleeping is going good. She takes 2 or 3 naps a day – one at 9am, one around 1:30 and then sometimes a (very) short one around 5:30. I feed her and get her into bed around 7:30 every night. I’m still swaddling her at nap time but recently stopped swaddling her at night. Just a few nights ago, we sort of let her “cry it out” and she screamed for about an hour. That was no fun but she’s cried less and less each night and I’m sure will be down to no crying soon. While she has slept through the night a few times, she more often gets up once somewhere between 2 and 4am. I feed her and then put her right back to bed where she will snooze away until around 6:30 or 7:00. It’s very manageable and I’m grateful for that!

Samantha LOVES her big brothers. They are always entertaining her, loving on her, and giving her kisses and hugs. She’s quite a lucky little sister.

This little girl is just the best. The BEST.

I am one lucky momma. We love you Samantha!
