Today sweet Kate turns 4 months old!
That picture was actually taken yesterday when she was in her Christmas dress. She was super fussy and wasn't up for 4 month pictures today. This was the best she gave me today:
Here's what Kate is up to these days:
*She is almost 12 pounds (such a little bit still) - maybe she will double her birth weight this coming month!
*Still wearing size 1 diapers - Huggies Pure & Natural are the only diapers that work for her. Everything else either gives her a rash or she pees through/ causes blow outs
*24 inches long
*She is wearing 0-3 and 3 month for regular clothing. We are up to some 3-6 month footed sleepers for length though.
*Everything goes straight to the mouth
*She grabs for everything - toys, earrings, hair, food, dogs - you get the picture!
*She has a super deep belly laugh that is absolutely precious! I will post a video of that sweet laugh when I figure out how...
*She is having some sleep regression lately. We are back to a 3 or 4am bottle. Thankfully, she will go straight back to sleep after that bottle until about 7 or 8. Too bad I am having issues getting back to sleep.
Kate has proven that she is a tough little girl this month. She's had 5 or 6 blood draws (taken from her arm) since November 1 and countless doctor's appointments. I'm sure I'll get into more detail soon but, we are asking for any and all thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks as Alex and I make hard decisions regarding her care. We are still looking for answers and praying for the best possible outcome.
As always, I can't wait to see what the next months brings!!!

I really have so much to say so I'm just going to leave you with a little something sweet {like Kate}...
I love that sweet little doll baby!!
What a cutie! With the sleep thing... she may be ready for solids?? Cor.ben started doing that so I put rice cereal in his last bottle of the night and he went back to sleeping through the night. Normally that's a no-no but he had already been use to that due to his reflux. Once he started solids he dropped his 5 am bottle too and now sleeps until around 8 am.
We cannot start solids right now due to her allergies.
She just gets more beautiful by the day! Happy 4 Months Kate!
Always praying...
And I feel you on not being able to go back to sleep after the boys go eat in the middle of the night. But I'm too afraid to take a tylenol PM because I fear I wouldn't hear them when they woke for the next feeding!
4 months...wow! Going too fast : (
Lindsey you and Kate are still in my prayers. From someone with food alergies, once you get them figured out life is great again. I wish you strengh in getting her diet regulated.
Allergies? Did I miss something? Do you read http://mrandmrsg3.blogspot.com? Her little guy has major food allergies :(. I hope everything is okay.
