Definition of Inconsistent & Master of Movement

Today Sevyn is 4 months old, and she is so much fun. 

Although sometimes I feel like she is super inconsistent.  I try and keep her on a schedule, wake up at a certain time (although its not early - 9am usually), and either work from home or at Grandma's.   I try to get her to take a nap around 2pm, but for some reason she doesn't always.  One day she'll sleep three hours, then next day she will forgo naps altogether, then the next she will sleep an hour here or there, then the next day only 20 minutes.  She is almost always in a place where she can sleep in pitch black, I always have her swaddled, and always try to put her down after a full tummy.  But my child refuses to follow a schedule.  Its like throwing darts in the dark . . . or for me just throwing darts altogether because I have terrible aim!

***Switch subjects***

Happy 1/3 Birthday, Sevyn!

She laughs, giggles, holds her toes, drools, and throws great tantrums.  
She also has mastered her first major step towards total mobility.  She can roll over!  

She has been rolling over for about 3-4 weeks now, but it was very sporadic.  Now, its every minute.  In fact, it drives me nuts!

Sevyn rolls over, will play on her tummy for 20 seconds or so and then gets frustrated and starts to scream.  No, its not a ramp it up "mommy can you come help me scream." It more like, "Dang it, mom get you butt over here and roll me back over . . . NOW!!!"  LOL.  

So I have to stop what I am doing and roll her back over.  I can't even count how many times I had to do this today.  Maybe 100+.  I am pretty sure she thinks its a game, well let me assure you I don't.  It takes me forever to get things done (remember I am an video editor, and it can be very detailed and tedious work at times.)  I spent most of today praying she would take good long nap like she did yesterday, but refer to the above section, and you can figure out that she skipped it all together!

Oh well, we are having a blast with her.  She is such a precious little girl.  And for all the frustrating things that happen during the day, I wouldn't trade a minute of it!

Kentucky Derby

Sevyn got out her finest hat for the Kentucky Derby.  She wore a Vera Wang designed white cotton hat, with eyelet embellishment and chin strap, adorned with a blue pony, to commemorate the day.  She was upset, however, because another woman was at the derby wearing a similar design.   (seen below)

Here's a close up of Sevyn's finest head wear.

She definitely looks better than these ladies seen on NBC.
