like a rolling stone/4 month info

For the past few weeks Cadence had been getting really good at rolling onto her side, either one actually, and just kind of hanging out there.  It was pretty cute to watch because she would usually start by lifting her feet to her face, then sort of falling off to the side.  She would get so close to rolling over completely, but usually just arch her back to look up over her head, and then flip back to her back to do it all over again.

However, last night, she pulled all the way through, and I was so happy that not only James was there to witness it, but also his mom.  We were cheering her on, and it was so cute to see her face once she ended up on her tummy.  She's a roller! 

I was looking forward to James's mom's visit mostly because I knew I'd get some time to see my friends and James and I would get to go on a date, but now I'm not so sure that will be happening.  Unfortunately every time she holds Cadence, Cadence just starts screaming.  James thinks it's because she doesn't hold her facing out like C-dog prefers, and I think it's because her scent of coffee+cigarettes is completely new to Cadence, and probably not very welcome.  I know James is going to push me to just leave her and let her "cry it out", but it will be hard to knowingly leave my normally sweet and happy baby with someone that I know she isn't happy with :/.

Weight: We'll find out Monday!

Length:

Diaper size: Size 2

Clothes size: Mostly 3-6 month and 6 month clothes, although I can still squeeze you into some 3 month onesies, and you're not nearly chunky enough to fill out anything other than 3 months clothes--but your length is another story!

Sleep: I would say that 6/7 nights you sleep a good 10 hours straight.  Every once in awhile you'll give me a rough night though (like tonight!)

Favorite activities/things: Johnny Jump-Up, exersaucer, you still love your cuddle bug and going outside almost always calms you down.  A fun fact: you have attended every single home sporting event at Webb this fall.  You even made it through a whole football game tonight (halftime was feeding time!)

Eating: You are eating every 1.5-2 hours during the day.  Exhausting, but oh well :).

Nicknames: C baby, C dog, Sugar Pie (oh my!), Cadence baby

Talking: We're working on your consonant sounds.  You've got the G down, but I'm trying to get those dadadas and mamamas going!

New adventures: Nothing too extraordinary, just more church and sporting events, meals at the dining hall, bible study with the Swaffords, and some meals out on the town.  You did accompany me on an airport run this week and you were spectacular!  Happy, sleeping, awake for a little while, and then asleep again.

New Skills: Rolling from back to front, touching those toes, making Chewbacca like noises in the back of your throat, and those cute little baby push-ups!  You also started sucking on your tongue which is pretty darn cute.  Oh, and the drool, the drool!  Daddy can't stand it, which is pretty funny!
