Little Things: Sarah 4 Months

Sarah slept from 7 to 7 again last night, that's twice this week! Her naps have gotten so much better since we've been in Korea that I am really happy. We are starting to see a more consistent timing/schedule which is nice so we can plan ahead a little. She still throws in the occasional 45-minute nap but has been doing 2 hours very nicely so we're doing three naps (around 9 AM, 1 PM, and 4 PM) . Bedtime is between 6:30 - 7:00 PM and wake-up is between 6:00 - 7:30 AM.

She has also settled into a nice routine of only eating every 4 hours during the day and we will be waiting until six months to start solids. Cereals aren't available here as far as I can tell (although the Import Lady has a few boxes of Gerber rice cereal) and I think we're going to skip them and go straight for avocado and sweet potato for her first foods. Once I get my food processor I might start making some things and freezing them since produce isn't necessarily available year-round here like it is at home.

For a while now Sarah has acted like she doesn't want to lean back, especially when you're holding her. She wants to sit forward/up. She doesn't last very long in the Bumbo though. Today I sat her on the floor (see photo above) and she balanced better than I thought she would, so I guess we'll add practicing-sitting-up to our wake-time routine. She is grabbing things and holding on pretty well (better with her left hand than her right). She is also really good about shoving whatever she has in her hand into her mouth. This is a big difference between Sarah & Anna. Anna never really mouthed things where Sarah sticks everything in and is super drooly. I can't wait to get our bibs in the sea shipment! I didn't need them when we left Doha and Anna only wore them because of the spit-up so I didn't anticipate the drool (Anna never drooled this much even when teething as I recall).

We're getting some little laughs out of her and she is totally in love with Anna. Anna is a good big sister but doesn't give Sarah as much attention as I'm sure Sarah would like. Surely as Sarah gets more interactive Anna will give her more.
