pepper kelsey: 4 months












4 months of pepper! it's been oh so good. she's kind of the best.

so lets get to it.

sleep: so...she WAS sleeping through the night every night. somewhere in-between 3 months and 4 months she started waking up sometimes at night. which isn't terrible. and if i'm being honest, i just feed her and put her back to bed. my middle of the night self can't handle the screaming it out method. i can only do that when my mind is not in sleep mode. and it's been fine. she still has nights that she sleeps through the night, so...it's whatever to me. i remember with grant i tried to get him to sleep through the night when he was nursing and it just didn't work, he didn't end up sleeping through the night til i was done, and that was fine. and now he sleeps like a champ. so, i'm not too worried about it. 

eat: nursing still! i attempt to nurse my children for a year and so far so good. i feel really blessed to be able to do that, and i'm just keepin on the same track with pepper so far. she eats every 3-4 hours? ish? i don't even know. i just kind of feed her when i think she's hungry and it's been a while. i know a lot of people are really into sleep and eating schedules and such and i just don't got time for that. it's fine if you do! my personality just isn't into being super strict about it. the more kids you have the more you're like.... meh... it'll work out. and guess what??? it has. :) 
she has become kind of interested in food as of late! most of my kids weren't really interested in or noticed food til about 6 months when we started introducing solids. but our little chubby pepper has started to notice when we are eating. so maybe solids will be in her future sooner than our other two.

milestones: nothing real milestone-y in the last month. she's starting to find her voice more and talk a lot. she still rolls over (as you can see in the consecutive pics above), we haven't really practiced sitting up, to be honest i can't remember when they start doing all that. haha. but she's always been really strong with her neck control. we just had her 4 month appointment at shots yesterday!! ahhh! so sad. but here are her stats...


 weight: 15 lbs 5 oz                          percentile: 77th
length: 24 inches                             percentile: 57th 
head circumference: 16.75 inches    percentile: 94th


things i want to remember:
she likes to grunt at her daddy. that's how they communicate.
she smiles at everyone! loves people. gonna be like her sister.
when i'm changing her bum and holding her legs up with one hand, she will sit and try to grab my wedding ring on my hand or just examine whatever on my hand that's in front of her... it's pretty cute.
she's pretty content! still never took a binki but is consoled easily and is generally so happy
she loves her siblings. smiles at grant and brecken constantly. it'll be so exciting to see their dynamic as she gets bigger and interacts more.
her nickname from her grandpa reece is peppy-long-piggy's cause she's got some loooong toes. :)

happy 4 months pepper k.!
