Anke 4 months TODAY


Our Baby girl is 4 months old today. I can't believe it. Time has gone by so so fast. Having a baby changes everything. You forget almost entirely about yourself...

Anke LOVEs
- her Daddy, her eyes light up when she hears him. I love it.
- her Grandma Toekie. She starts 'talking' when Grandma is 'in the house'... so cute.
- her playmat. She is kicking and batting the hanging toys.
- her NUK bottles and Doemsie. When she sees it coming she excitingly opens her mouth and ads a soft cute happy cooo

Anke HATEs
- getting dressed and sitting/getting into her car seat. She screams as if we are pulling her hair. It is a less pretty sight.
- tummy time... this is not good I know, but what can we do.

She is drooling all over the place! She will try and stick her entire fist into her mouth, it is so funny to see. There is no sign of teeth though... I'm thankful.

Anke is sleeping well. Still has two feeds at night one at 2ish and one at 5ish. She will drink her bottle and go right back to sleep. Thank you baby!

About introducing solids, she is not finishing her 150ml bottle yet, so we are thinking of adding food at around 6 months. We will go with her needs rather than a time table. If you have any revelations about what to start with, please give me a shout. Cereal? Vegetables? I just don't know yet.

4 Months down... L.O.V.E it! If you (and your spouse) are considering having children GO FOR IT! Life is to short to live for yourself.

Thanks for sharing what Anke likes and doesn't like. Such a sweet baby! She's getting so big already. On a side note, we started with rice cereal, then went to oatmeal, then carrots. And he loves his veggies, so it seems to have worked well! I'm sure you'll do just fine with whatever you decide. Love you, friend!

I am diggin' your new blog look. Anke sounds stubborn like Gibson. Good girl. You two can guide that into a positive as she grows up. I'm sure she's one of the luckiest babies. I'm with Linds on the solid food. Start with rice cereal using either water or formula to mix it to a very thin consistency. And I'd hold off feeding her solids until you have to, which is at about 6 months for iron supplementation. It's way more work than fun if you ask me. Luckily, Gibson has two teeth with two more threatening to rupture at any moment. And he's getting quite capable of feeding himself, which lightens my load. I know you're enjoying all of it. Love you, vriendin!
