You know you're the fourth baby when...


  • your parents had a difficult time finding a name for you
  • you are five months old and still don't have a nickname
  • you get a new car seat because the old one expired
  • you can sleep through loud noises due to living with older siblings who run and scream through the house
  • you get new cloth diapers because the old ones have been worn to shreds
  • you are unfazed when a well meaning sibling bumps your head while trying to show love
  • you wear the same outfit for two days in a row
  • you only wear a diaper on days with no scheduled outings 
  • you cry when put down because there is usually someone holding you
  • you get excited to be put down so you can stretch out and practice new motor skills because you are usually being held and don't get the chance
  • you get a bath maybe once a week because it's easier to get a rubdown with a washcloth then fill a tub
  • your hair gets styled by the up and coming hairstylist sister
  • you get jumped on when big brother tries to dance over you
  • your oldest sister reads you books instead of a parent
  • you chew on a (clean) flip flop just as often as a teething toy
  • you get over stimulated by three older siblings getting all up in your face--all at the same time
  • your mom cries when you hit major milestones because it makes you one step closer to being a mobile mess maker
