4 Months Already?!


WOW! How are we even at the four month mark? I feel like she should still be tiny and fresh with her little sweet cry. I know four months is really not that old at all, but when you look at all the little moments that have flown by, that you will never get back again...it makes a difference.  If I really sit down and think about how quickly just four months have gone by, my heart starts beating really fast and it almost makes me cry.  I'm such a sap. Like really.  I want to take in every possible moment I can with Malia and soak it all up while I have this time with her.  Anyone who is a parent, and even those who are not, know or have heard many times how quickly they grow up, and I don't want to look back for one second and wish that I had taken more time to cherish the small things. 

Malia is seriously SO much fun now. She laughs and smiles all the time, and there is never a time where being held by mommy is a bad thing (I'm also soaking this up because I know this wont last forever).  She still sleeps like a rock star (12+ hours a night...score!), and eats like a champ. Her inner diva/drama queen has started to show its face..and it's quite hilarious. Colton and I get a kick out of all the sighs and gasps that she makes, though sometimes we look at each other like "Oh man, we're in for it with this one". We're also starting to notice that she is finally porkin' up a little and hopefully this continues, because for a while she felt so fragile, but I think she gets that gene from her daddy ;). Plus, we hit a rough patch a couple of weeks ago and she couldn't keep any of her milk down for long due to the formula being too hard on her tummy, but it looks like the new formula we have her on is a lot better.  Unfortunately I was never able to get my supply back to normal after our car accident and eventually I lost it completely, so she is no longer a BF baby, but formula is better than nothing! 

I can't wait for all the fun times ahead with our little stinker! She has such a personality already...so I can only imagine where we will be in the next couple of months.
