Darian Clouse: Four Months with Indy

Four months old!!! I know I say this every month but wow time has really flown by and especially this last month. It seems like something changes about her everyday. Some days are long and she's super fussy but most days she's pretty happy and we play all day between trying to actually get some stuff done. I realized though to enjoy this time because she's only this little for a little while and I'll never have just one kid to give all of my attention to again. The chores can wait a little and the house doesn't always have to be immaculate. She's such a joy in our home and has added a light that seems to shine through it. People say to wait to have kids but I'm happy I had her when I did. Yeah adding a baby to your life can mix things up a bit sometimes but she adds so much more purpose to my life than I've ever had before.

Four month stats:

Weight: 13 1/2 lbs (25th percentile)

Height: 25 1/4 inches (75th percentile)

Head Circumference: 16 1/2 inches (80th percentile)

So sassy!!!

June 30, 2016 we found out we were pregnant with Indy!

Indy loves: To facetime Wes, when Wes gets home from work, swimming, being outside, her bouncer, her monkey squeaky toy, being nakey, bath time, US, snuggling with us in the mornings, mornings, her fingers, tummy time, kids and other babies, when I sing "Indy is a child of God", her own voice, looking at herself in the mirror, her bumpo, standing, anything but being on her back, laying on my chest, when Wes talks to her, white noise, when Wes makes weird noises to her

Indy dislikes: Getting splashed in the pool (barely any water hitting her face), the car at night, doesn't like when we leave the room even for a second, when she's on her back, sometimes when people besides us hold her

Fun facts about Indy:

Indy now has a fake scream that she does all the time! It's kind of bratty but also kind of cute
She smiles at everyone and everything!!
She went to her first Diamondbacks game! The crowd behind us loved her and she was so good at the game.

She spit up all over me!!

She thinks fireworks are mesmerizing. On the Fourth of July she just stared at all the fireworks and started babbling to them.

She now full on giggles and belly laughs
She sleeps all night (8-10 hours). She's kind of going through some sort of sleep regression. After I put her to sleep she'll wake up a few times. She usually goes to bed around 9 pm.
Acts like she's always starving
She loves laying on my chest. She's kind of made this game where she'll lay on my chest, look up at me real fast then smile and put her face back on my chest. She does this over and over while her fingers are in her mouth as she's babbling and squawking haha
She wants to be older so bad
She tries so hard to sit up
Only likes being held facing out
She went to Canyon Lake for the first time

Rolled over from her back to her belly- June 28, 2017

We took her to the Tucson Temple open house

She makes so many noises all the time
She's finally gaining some weight. You can tell mostly by her thighs and her bum hehe she has a little froggy belly that hangs off to each side when she's on her back. She has the biggest, most contagious smile!! She has Wes' nose, at least for now it looks like that! I think she has my eye shape but she still has deep blue eyes that sometimes look green. She's known for her out of control, crazy hair! It's still a light brown and sometimes looks blonde or auburn in the sun. Her hair has thinned out a bit but has gotten so long in certain areas and in the front she has a cul de sac of missing hair probably from wearing bows.
She's not the best napper
Has some baby friends!
