4 months!

 

Here we are! 

As you can see above, she loves her feet and her fist! She's also a rolling machine. She prefers to go from belly to back (which means we've entered the super fun sleeping stage) but can go both directions! 


I think we are about to start the food adventure because she stares at us bringing our fork/spoon up to our mouth. She's a drool monster so I'm not sure when that first tooth is going to pop, but I'm terrified. I pray she takes after her sister and not her brother. She is our first big puker/spitter-upper. She seems to do it more in the evening and doesn't seem to be uncomfortable before hand. She'll just be fine and then, bombs away. I chatted with the doctor about it and she wasn't concerned and was happy with her growth curve. She said soon, as she starts sitting up and eating solids, her stomach sphincter will mature and get stronger and should help! 


She is also our first kiddo to refuse a paccy in the middle of the night. The other 3, when they woke in the night I could go in and paccy them and we could all go back to sleep. Miss Mia only wants one thing when she wakes up. She's on no schedule or routine as far as how often she eats, day or night. Thankfully though, she knows her night from her day and when she does wake up to eat in the night she will go back to sleep. 


She weighed in at 12lbs 6.7oz and is 24.41in! She gained ALMOST 2 pounds and grew MORE than 2 inches! This makes her our smallest babe at this age and almost the tallest (Seth was 24.75)!


It's REALLY easy to make her smile and she smiles with her WHOLE face. She's chattering away and loves her bubs & sissy as much as they do her. She's a pretty easy going, happy baby and anytime she's not, she just needs to touch her Mama ❤

December!


In a continuation from November's recap, Beba shared her birthday surprise with the kids (I know that's shocking) LOL

Kylie got her first pedicure! It of course had to be "boooo"

We have another math brain on our hands! To explain what he's doing: he rolls the dice, adds the numbers together and then practices writing that number.....he rolled a 5 and a 3.....

The most wonderful time of the year!

Beba shared some old scarves ❤😂

The boys (and Mia) got to go to the Children's Museum and make Christmas decorations with some superheros! Batman was super attentive and awesome. I didn't have to help with any glue or glitter 👐😂

We had some birthday celebrations!

And I was blessed to do my 2nd annual 
foster care book drive ❤❤❤

Our first snow day (Kylie's for real!)

Seth finished up one of his Science units and did his final project by making the solar system out of playdough!

We also got to make a super cool 
Abraham Lincoln game in his history book!

These two....man! They will be the best of friends and the next minute have each other screaming and crying.

I wonder why it takes Lucas so long to eat sometimes.....😜

Seth drew this awesome fish picture, decorating each fish to 
represent a different season!

We made ornaments!

And there were lots of Christmas treats!

We tried to grow a crystal dinosaur.......

And at the end of the day, this is their go to activity.....

🎄❤

2021~2022 throwback comparison!

Mia got a fun new toy!

& we made cookies!

Mia had her monthly photo shoot.....
(I'm sorry it's impossible to choose!)

& then we all did! Pro tip: have a family member take your pictures. They will capture the most genuine smiles from your kiddos! 

Date night in looks different these days 😉

When we got back from my sister's Lucas thought Nala was sad, 
so he made her a picture of her and Bruno 
to hang in her crate and cheer her up ❤

We found these "remote control" cars for the boys' Christmas 
that follow a laser gun instead. We've tried to do the actual 
remotes and they just aren't able to steer them and get frustrated. 
Well I didn't even know when I bought them that they 
have a setting that let's you drive on the wall/ceiling!

& little miss just won't slow down ❤

Sometimes I find cute surprises on my phone.......

Other times they are weird....LOL

😂 Like he said, Happy New year!
