Dearest Ashton Kate,
What did Mommy & Daddy do to deserve a little one as
sweet as you!? The answer is nothing =) Not a thing! By God’s grace, he gave us you-our
bubbly, smiley, sweet as sugar little girl! You are nothing but fun most days
and are more than the perfect addition to our family. Our love for you runs so
deep miss AK! You are such a treasure. Your sisters adore you just as much and
love being around you if you’re awake, which by the way most of the time you are
a rockstar napper during the day. As long as we stick to your somewhat of a
schedule you are like clockwork and we are loving it! Such a predictable baby
lately. We are so blessed by your sweet, easy going countenance and your daddy
looks forward to getting home to you every night. We know you’ll have your days
ahead but right now you are a breath of fresh air with your almost always
pleasant disposition. SO content best describes you. And for that we are ever
so grateful! You love when mommy and daddy sing worship songs to you or read
you stories-really you just love any and all attention you can steal from us!
We’re so fortunate that you can entertain yourself for long periods of time,
something your sisters were never very good at! We love you so deeply little
Ashton Kate and we love watching you grow and develop. Time is flying by way
too fast so we are savoring every little milestone and new thing that God
grants you the ability to do. Not a day goes by where we are not so thankful
for you Ashton Kate Currie. Your smile, your kisses, your drool running down
mommy’s face, your chunky little thighs-every inch of you is perfectly
fashioned! You are one loved girl not only by your family but even more so by
your Maker! We pray with great anticipation for the day where you will worship
Him as Creator and Savior of your life!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
Memories & Milestones from 4-5 months olds:
-You weight roughly 16 lbs I believe and are wearing mostly
3 and 3-6month clothes for the most part. You can wear some 6 month sleepers
but your legs get lost in there =)
-Still doing 6 feedings a day-starting around 5am and going down around 8pm …you nurse well if you’re asleep and are hit or miss if
you’re awake! You usually take a pumped bottle before bedtime so we know how
much you’re taking in in hopes of sleeping longer!
-We took you to the library for your 1st baby story time on 3/4- not sure if it
was worth the effort but mommy will do the same “library” things at home with
you if we don’t get out and do it again!
-Slight sleep regression at 4/4.5mo-have to put paci in once or twice and also
feed in the 4am range now
-You have officially entered the everything must go in the mouth stage (just
past 4mo)
-Your hands are still your favorite these days-you play with them, knaw on them
all day long
-Bathtime is still really fun for you and you will kick and splash up until the
time we scoop you up to wrap you up!
-Uh-oh! You are getting loose in your swaddle (at 4mo1wk) which is not good
because you LOVE being swaddled to sleep & if we try to leave you
unswaddled no sleep takes place!
-1st night in your own room!! March 10th and you did great! No
reason for waiting so long other than we were hoping to have you in one of the
twins cribs but we still haven’t ordered their beds so we went and ahead and
made the switch! Mommy & Daddy sleep so much better now that we’re not
afraid of moving an inch and waking you up!
-You rolled from tummy to back 3/11
-New trick has been learned: you now can pull your paci in and out of your mouth
-You discovered your thumb on 3/19 and while you don’t suck it regularly when
you do it is mighty adorable!
-So nice to let you start riding in stroller with no car seat-4mo 3 wks and you
are SO content being outside in the stroller
-Had two of our best nights of sleep with you on 3/22-went 730-620 & 3/23-
830-610
-You stayed in first pres nursery for the first time on 3/23
-Made your 1st trip to the Montgomery Zoo with lots of church friends
on 3/25 and did AMAZING! Couldn’t have asked for better!
-Giggling and Laughing A LOT is part of our day
now! March 8-4.5mo
