you know you have a four month old when..

breanna428 · January 2016

- you can't believe they are already in size three diapers when they just got out of ones
- you don't want to switch them out of their bassinet to their crib because they are still your "itty bitty newborn"
- you sniff their neck to make sure they don't smell like rotten milk( I gave to check LO daily cause she smells "milky")
- you cry more when they pop themselves with their toy and see a bruise on their face the next day

-Everyone and everything is covered in drool.
-It seems like LO is going to escape the Rock N Play at any moment.

- Down time no longer exist because you have to entertain them at every moment
- Sleep is a foreign concept to them now
- You know all the songs and little jingles to every toy or noise maker in the house by heart

- they start blowing raspberries! Mine plus at least two other babies I know started doing this! It's sooooo cute and goofy!

-you're serenaded awake by legs slamming down on the mattress
-grab object, insert into mouth

Yiggle09 · January 2016

Hand, arm, their foot,your hand, nipple or toy chewing gnawing is a better word
Rolling over in crib but can't get back over, now does this all day on play mat and needs to be fixed constantly
Smiling one minute crying the next bi polar baby
Narcissistic baby

-you're in the shower hearing shreiks and when you get out to check, baby is smiling and talking to the wall

-all he does is switch between cooing like an angel and screaming like a maniac

-you pick up baby from the crib in the middle of the night and he starts sucking on your neck cause you cant get seated and the boob whipped out fast enough

HAHAHA! My LO has been leg slamming for a while. It's hilarious! That's how I know he's awake. Over and over....and over!

-they've learned to scream like you're chopping their limbs off! I miss the simple little cries of the newborn stage

Yes! I never knew you could smile and cry at the same time until I saw my daughter do this. Lol, I'm like, are you happy or sad?!?

--feeling so excited that they have grown/changed so much but feeling incredibly sad that they aren't a sleepy newborn anymore.
--watching them grab and play with their toys is better than watching tv! So entertaining.

The only reason you can get cuddles out of your baby is because she got her 4 month shots

ItsmeR30 · January 2016

When you tickle them on their back and they scream out of fear and you start crying right along with him. True story

LO did this at Target today and I was mortified. People looked at me like they expected me to have her hanging by a limb!

rachellegiacco · January 2016

I have an escape artist. She can't be trusted in a rock n play, swing, bassinet or bumbo by herself anymore. I have no idea where she plans on going or how but she is on a mission

Mewkie · January 2016

Haha these are hilarious.
When you spend 30 minutes getting them down for a nap and they only sleep for 20.

Yep. So much yep.

angholc10 · January 2016

When you have a playmat and a bouncer and a baby lounger and a walker in the living room bc baby gets bored and needs them all at one point in the day !

Mewkie · January 2016

Oohh one more...
When you check your wonder week app 67 times a day, hoping there was a mistake and there aren't really 20 days left in the 4th leap.

Yiggle09 · January 2016

When your almost 5 month old is a belly faker! Lol he rolls over on belly at night and somehow rolls back on back but during the day needs help to be rescued

breanna428 · January 2016

had to add a couple more.
-velociraptor screeches from your baby are the cutest thing
- you automatically go to the baby section of every store to see when they have even though your baby has more clothes than you and DH combined

cmommy13 · January 2016

When your LO looks adorable in a matching outfit and you don't know the last time you showered was...

When you use bibs to catch all the drool..

xJKxOR · January 2016

Completly agree with you @cmommy13 ! My son is always clean and coordinated...

I put on foundation and mascara this morning and DH asked what the special occasion was!? Lol! I may have been slacking in the personal maintenance lately

Yiggle09 · January 2016

@breanna428 we call our son a velociraptor too because of the screams lol

ItsmeR30 · January 2016

You hold baby in one arm/hand while using your other hand to brush your teeth.

ellebxo26 · January 2016

These are great!!!

strickler924 · January 2016

You look out from behind the shower curtain and yell "peek-a-boo" 10000 times to avoid a meltdown (sometimes it works...)

You know you're 4 months postpartum when you have nightmares about waking up bald, because how can anyone lose this much hair?!!!

JessiHB · January 2016
