Enna- 4 months



Enna,

There are no words to describe these pictures---eek! heart melting cuteness! You are a bundle of sweetness mixed with some intense personality. 

You were pretty much sick this entire month and it was hard for us. We spent A LOT of time together, you and me. You decided that Mommy was best for sleeping on, and that sleeping was way overrated, but we persevered through it all.

You pretty much stopped napping longer than 30 minutes give or take 10. You can even sleep for 5 minutes in the car and call it good. Crazy baby! You take about 3 naps a day (very short naps) which usually take awhile to get you settled down for. I tend to let you sleep in the baby carrier more often than not because it's the no hassle no fuss way to get you to conk out. If you think I'm trying to get you to take a nap, you all out scream like your life depends on it.

For all the lack of sleeping ( although, did I mention, you are doing pretty well at night?), you are pretty content and happy to be playing. You love your exersaucer and you pretty much stay in that most of the time while drooling, chewing on your hands, and grinning from ear to ear at us.

You are social. You love to talk and coo and smile at us all the time, but you also like your space and don't always like the hugs and squeezes you get from your siblings.

You are pretty easy to take places (an on the go baby), but being at home is hard because you hate to settle down to sleep and it makes it hard with our schedule and trying to homeschool!

You decided that you are now freaked out about taking a bath and scream like crazy when I put you in the water...on the flip side you giggle when I change your diaper. 

My favorite thing with you is nursing you every day. You are so sweet and you rub your little hands on me as you eat. You nurse a lot during the day. I started nursing you more on demand when you were sick so we haven't gotten back to a schedule really. I'd say you nurse about 2-3 hours though most of the time. 

You are such a great addition to our family and I am so blessed to have you. God is so good to us and we are so grateful for you.

Mama
