4 Months & 6 Days!

So my baby girl is now 4 months and 6 days old! Growing so fast and getting sweeter everyday! She is now laughing out loud & I love it! She is what makes my days worth living! At her 4 month well check, she was 24 inches long, 13 lbs and her head circumference was 39! So she is now falling into the 25th-50th percentile! Wonderful! She also had two more shots, again it was heartbreaking! She's been a bit more fussy with these than the first shots she got, but is doing well. Sleeping a lot and wanting to be held constantly! She is sitting well in her bumbo seat and making the biggest spit bubbles ever! She tries so hard! I'm going to video it soon and post, it's too adorable! I am so thankful for such a healthy & happy baby, the Lord has really blessed us! She is still sleeping through the night wonderfully and is doing the best!

TeEtHiNg...Round One!

So as of about a week and a half ago, Alyssa has started into the beginning phases of teething! Yay for her, she will have cute little teeth soon! So sad for her because she feels so bad! At first we just thought she was getting hungry sooner, then we thought she was getting a little spoiled because momma holds her a lot, then she began to fight her sleep...or so we thought! Soon enough and may I say very quickly we decided we were wrong all along...we started noticing all the little signs. Slobber and lots of it, rubbing her gums together, sucking her hands, trying to eat her bib (ha ha), actually touching her gums as well. So we used baby orajel swabs and the regular orajel..but we were informed by not one but many people that the new and "cool" thing is "teething tablets." They are like magic..or so they say! We will see! :) I was also told today that teething is the worst pain anyone could experience in their life and that's why the "Heavenly Father" does it when we are babies and cant remember it. Alyssa's 4 month checkup is nearing soon, and the closer it gets the worse I feel because I know what's going to happen...that's right shots. But the Lord above knows and sees all, he surely does take care of his little ones! So I know he will make sure she does well with them! Thank the Lord for such precious blessings!
