Sarah - 4 Months

I find it hard to believe that Sarah has already reached 4 months old. That means that Emmy is 20 months, Sam is 4 years, Rachel is 10 years, and I don't even want to admit that Cody is now 17, so I won't!

Sarah is such a joy! She loves everyone that she meets. She smiles, chuckles, and even sometimes, guffaws. I am pretty sure that the only time that she cries is when she is hungry or sleepy, and occasionally, when she needs to be changed.

With the exception of two nights this week (for some reason), she has been sleeping all night long. She goes to sleep between 7 and 8, and wakes up between 7 and 8. Unlike Emmy, Sarah prefers to be rocked before bed, and neither Rusty or I mind the extra cuddle time! 

It wouldn't be the Corley Clan in true form if we didn't call Sarah all sorts of strange names (including, but not limited to the names of her siblings and the number in which she falls in the line of littles - #5)

Here are some of her "names":

Sarah

Sarah Bear

Bear

Sar Sar

Little Bitty

Bitty

Bitty Bear

Snookie Wookums

Little Little

I'm sure more will develop over time, but I'd say we have successfully confused her!

The other littles actually love her more and more because she has started to make noises in response to their gestures, she chuckles at them, and she plays on the mat with them. She also enjoys playing with her arms, grabbing her feet, sticking her hands in her mouth, and really likes to hold onto a blanket, burp rag, or her "lovey". I think that her "lovey" may very well become the next "bear" in the house. Every time we give her the "lovey", she smiles and snuggles up to it. It is absolutely adorable!

What a precious little pea we have been blessed with. At night, we wrap her up like a burrito, give her the binky, the lovey, and settle into the rocking chair. Sarah gets comfortable, snuggles up to lovey, and looks up with those big brown eyes, and just smiles.
