Guinevere | Three - Four - Five Months



Weight: 15lbs
Height: not sure - will find out next week at her 4 month appointment
Clothing Size: 0-3 & 3 months
Eye Color: brown
Hair: black
Likes: her swing, rocking chair, being held facing outward, enjoying tummy time more and more, 
Dislikes: bath time and being cold

Nursing - like a champ! So thankful for such an easy breastfeeding experience. 
Sleep - goes to sleep around 820-9pm. Wakes about 6 times a night. 

{all of the above was when she was 3/4 months}



Currently, at 5 months, she wears 6m clothing and fits better in a size 3 diaper. 23 inches. Her sleeping at night has gotten a little better, as have her naps. She will now nap for a good hour at a time. She still wakes at night. About 4/5 times. Some nights she'll sleep in her pack and play, other nights (when she won't settle) she will sleep by me on the twin bed. She is a more serious baby but does have her silly moments. 
She can do belly time for a long time now, happily.
She rolls back to belly and belly to back. 


At the beginning of her 4th month she got RSV. We spent a few nights in the hospital. 

We stayed 3 nights. She had to have oxygen (started with 6 liters) and a tube that went down her nose into her stomach. They put her on a feeding schedule and she wasn't happy about it! We did supplement a couple of times when I couldn't pump enough. 
Glad that is over with. Coming home was the best feeling. 

She has also said "mama" a couple of times! 
I think she will be ready for solids soon. She is always eyeing our food and mimicking chewing. Still a few weeks to wait until solids but looking forward to it. She's getting better at sitting up. She likes to play with her feet. Always drooling. Loves Gabby!

Family Easter Photo

Yesterday, we went and got our picture taken with the Easter Bunny.

We arrived early, so we had some time to kill. We did a little shopping. M got a new protein drink, 'Marked', I got 2 new summer dresses, and Gabby got another pair of sandals for the summer.

By the time we shopped and got back to the Easter Bunny set up, it was picture time!

M wanted to sit on the bunny's lap. I think the bunny was scared because it just shrugged. We were going to try and get Gabby to sit on the bunny's lap, but she wouldn't let go of me. I think we got a great picture, though!

Afterwards, Gabby had her one year check-up. She is doing great. Weighs 21.1lbs and is 2ft and a half ( I don't remember the exact inches, I will have to check her paper). She got 3 shots and cried and cried. Then was distracted by a painting and stopped lol. She returns to the doctor at 15 months and 18 months.

I love Gabby's pediatrician but he said something that I completely disagree with. It made me quite upset actually. He said that nursing after one year is pointless. I was speechless. Granted, his expertise isn't breast milk. But, still. That is why you NEVER listen to your doctor when it comes to nursing advice. Go see your Lactation Specialist!! I can't stress that enough.

I will continue to nurse until we are ready to stop. That is that!
