2 mile stones
Maclaren had TWO milestones today--or maybe this weekend (it's been a long day).
*She reached for me
*She rolled from back to tummy
We got Kinsley's walker/car from the storage unit (along with piles of clothes) and put Maclaren in it for the first time. She scoots back and actually took a could tiny steps forward in it. She definitely likes to rotate toys and never stays content in just one thing.
Working is hard. I am typically standing at my desk, typing and editing one-handed, bouncing a baby on my hip. It's like 30 minutes of email replies, editing, or other work turns into 6 hours- no joke. It's only for a time. Maclaren's such a mommy's girl that even when I have help, it is often more frustrating hearing or knowing she's crying and just wanting me. It's a love-hate relationship with separation anxiety.
Things that have helped this month:
*Gray running errands for me when he knows he's going out of town and I might not be getting out the next day
* Gray getting up with the first girl that wakes up- trying to give me a little more time to sleep
* My mom coming over 1-2 times to spend special time with kinsley and doing potty clean-up duty and snack time
* Getting out in the morning on nice days-- doing things away from the home gives me the time to focus on the girls and makes the day not seem to drag
* Gripe Water
*She reached for me

4 months!
We have a 4 month old on our hands! Crazy because I keep thinking she's still a newborn.
- rolls from tummy to back
- sleeps in her crib at night
- still eats every 3 hrs (even at night ugh!)
-3-6m clothes
- goes to bed at 9
-drooler
-laughs
- coos and tries to grab things she wants
- likes to keep moving
I'm excited to introduce rice cereal at night to see if that will sit on her stomach more.
I just got an ergo baby carrier for quick trips and times I need both my hands. So far she likes it. Fell asleep in it, too. The support is great and she feels much more secure than in a wrap or sling. It's lightweight so I don't get hot either. Only drawback is she can't face forward, but it does have an on the hip option.
She's been fussy with no fever the past week or so. She might be teething. I doubt a tooth will come through anytime soon but she bites her hands and drools. She wanted to be held all day and me not to sit down. Hence the need for the ergo. We gave her her first dose of infant advil today and it seemed to help.
4.5 month stats:
15lbs 10.8oz- 75%
26in- 90%
Kinsleys 4.5 stats:
4 1/2 month stats:
weight:15lbs 10.5 oz (75%)
height: 25in (75%)
head circumference: 40cm (25-50%)
Mommy stats-
114lbs- 5 more to go! Our 90 day health challenge we started on Jan 1 is almost up at the end of this month.. we took before pics, so I'm excited to see any changes. I have been doing reformer pilates once a week and running or walking (about 2 miles) once a week. Plus chasing a toddler and holding a 15lb baby!

February 2014
Kinsley is really into dressing up. We often find her in a tutu, hat, gloves, or socks singing at the top of her lungs as she twirls around. She also loves putting baby dolls wherever she sees Maclaren. I get Maclaren out of the car carrier and I come back and there's a doll. I get her out of the mama roo, come back and there's a doll.
