Juliet Rose, you are FOUR months old today!! I really tried to soak up every moment over the past four months because I know how fast it really goes this time around! But even though I tried to be really intentional with living in the moment, I still feel like the last months have FLOWN by! You have grown so much and your personality is really starting to shine through! It is SO much fun watching you grow and see that personality come forward!
You are an extremely chill and easy kid still. I'm really grateful because your sister is the of epitome of 2 and very wild. You rarely get fussy and when you cry with consistency then something is really upsetting you. You like your paci and that is awesome! It's such an easy way to calm you down.
You're a happy and content little girl and I of course try to take a billion photos of you. Most of the time, however, when I pull out my phone you zero in on it and either look very concerned or very intent. It's been difficult to catch your adorable smile on camera, pumpkin!

You're now sleeping in the nursery in your crib. It's been great having our room back to ourselves and you're doing really well in your crib. I love walking in to get you from your naps and you're laying there, a little bitty baby burrito in your swaddle and you look so small in your crib. You smile up at me and I feel a little burst of joy. You're always really happy to be unswaddled and picked up. I love that you wake up so happy. Olivia really likes to "help" put you down for naps and "help" wake you up. You're a really good sport with it all.
Now that you're sleeping in your crib, we've been doing a very flexible version of the Moms On Call schedule. It's been nice having you on a routine and it's glorious when both you and Olivia end up napping at the same time. But, it's also so super sweet when it's just you and me and we get to hang out. I love my JuJu-only time too.
Part of your nighttime routine is giving you a quick bath each night. You really love your bath. I sing you a song while I undress you for the tub and you laugh and smile every night. You splish and splash and make happy little sounds each night too. Ah, you're so cute, baby girl!
You've started having small stretches in the Bumbo and I think you are enjoying the new ability to sit up assisted. You're gaining more and more control of your hands and fingers and can grab on to some things with more intentionality. You are also so very close to rolling over from your back to your belly. That pesky arm just gets in the way.
You adore your older sister and she gets the most laughs out of you by far. I hope your relationship continues to be sweet and that you guys grow up being best friends!
Daddy is one of your absolute favorite people and you do this coy flirting thing with him and give him lots of smiles. I really need to try and get it on camera!
You have started being able to make noises and try your hardest to copy daddy making this "ptfffff" noise with your lips. I think you're very proud of your achievement. Olivia enjoys making the sound back at you, so you get plenty of practice in each day.
I weighed you this morning and you are at an even 13 pounds. Your nails grow crazy, crazy fast and it's definitely a challenge to get you to hold still long enough to let me clip them without cutting you. You are teething with lots of drool and are always wanting your fist in your mouth, which has added to the nail-cutting challenge.
Oh pumpkin pie, my heart is so full and at it's absolute bursting point. I love you so much and words never adequately express my love for you and your sister. You are such a joy! It's been such a fun 4 months and each and every day with you is such a wonderful gift! Happy 4 months JuJu!
