Four months today!!!

In honor of Reese's four month update, I figured she could have her own post...I attached some comparison pics with Fuzz man and also just her so you can see how big she is getting! We head in next week for her ped appointment to see how big she really is. Although compared to her brother at this age, I think she is going to be a peanut. She actually fits in the sizes true to her age, unlike Fuzz ever did!
Just an update on everything else...She is still a champion sleeper. She normally gets screwed out of her morning nap or gets 45 minutes here, 45 minutes there. On those days though, she will normally sleep 4-5 hours in the afternoon. On the days she gets a full morning nap, I will get a 2 hour morning nap and a 3-4 hour afternoon nap. She usually goes down to bed around 7:15-7:30ish and will sleep until about 7:45-8 the next day.
Eating wise, she is still a pig and is a really efficient eater. Due to the drugs from the surgery, we had to start to supplementing formula because I didn't have enough in reserve for the time needed (sucks because it is 8 days worth of dumping :(. Formula hasn't been an issue at all which is nice...it took us about 4 different kinds to figure out which one Fuzz would puke the least :)
One thing that has happened though is she doesn't poop for 3 or 4 days at a time. We know this is completely normal for a breastfed baby but it doesn't make the explosions that happen any easier. She has had two fantastic explosions. The first one happened at my parents. My mom was feeding her and she thought she had just pooped a little bit. My mom got up and brought her through the kitchen to change her. What she didn't realize was it was covering my moms legs as well as all over their bed. The next time, I could hear her start to go in her car seat. I pulled her out because i knew it was going to be a big one. It literally came out both sides of her diaper all over the kitchen floor. I just held her there until she finished and went and put her straight in the bath. I never thought poop would be so funny!
She has also started drop off, which is like a mini-daycare at the same school Fuzz goes to pre-school. She isn't napping so wel
l there, but I think there is too much for her to look at (just means a monster nap for me when she gets home anyway :). It is awesome because she is going to the same teachers Fuzz did at this age and I love all of them (and so did Fuzz)! She has started being SO chatty and doesn't like it when you walk away from her while she is talking. I am pretty sure she is going to be a social butterfly (gee, wonder where that came from...)
