We went to the doctor on your 4 month birthday. They said you are 14 pounds 11 ounces, which puts you in the 61st percentile. And it means you have gained exactly 6 pounds since you were born!! (well, technically more, because you lost weight down to 8 pounds 1 ounce before we left the hospital). You are also, 25.5 inches long, which again puts you in the 89th percentile!! You are perfect! Dr Nichols even said you were perfect and beautiful! :)
You are in size 2 diapers! Size one was just giving TOO many blow outs!! :) You are wearing size 3 month clothing, but we are slowing working you in to your 3-6 month clothing. Some 3 month is too small, some 3-6 is too big, AND in Carter's brand size 6 month is almost too small!!
You are talking up a storm now! You talk to yourself or anyone that will listen. You talk to the fishies on your swing and the bird on your playmat!!
You're sleeping has been a little off lately. This past week there were days you didn't nap at all, along with nights you didn't sleep at all!! And then yesterday, I couldn't keep you awake at all!! But typically, you wake up at 5:45, then nap at 7:30 on the way to Garnett, then nap around 9:30-11:00. Then again on the way back to Ottawa. Then you take an afternoon nap from like 4 -7 (which is later than I'd like, I'm trying to get you to nap at 2!). The sometimes in the evening you still need a 30 min nap but that tme varies. And then depending on how you napped you go to bed sometime between 8 and 9.
You were sleeping through the night, but now you wake up again at midnight and around 3 to eat. Which is funny, because that's what you used to do when you were a newborn!
I just moved your bassinet out of our room, because you were too long for it. I didn't feel ready to move you to your own room! So I put up the pack-n'-play. Though, I do think you'll move to your bed soon! :( You're growing up so fast!
You are also still eating breastmilk. You have had a total of 10 ounces of formula, for various reasons. But we're still going to breastfeed for a little while longer!
You have discovered your feet! You just love them! You're always grabbing at them!
The doctor said your eyes will probably stay blue! :)
Your new favorite thing is to squeal! You have this high-pitched squeal, where you almost would think you were crying! But nope, you're just talking! :)
Sometimes when you're so excited you flap your arms and you hit yourself or me! Espeically when you're eating you you smack my chest a lot!
You are playing more with your toys. You like having a rattle in your hand or any other toy. Your favorite toy is your stuffed bunny. We take it everywhere, and when you're sleepy or fussy you enjoy holding on to it. Or eating it! Everything you touch goes directly to your mouth!
You love to smile! :) When your daddy does his little noise (where he rolls his tongue) you just light up!!
You are not a fan of lying down anymore. You would rather be propped up, or sitting up to watch everything.
You're still not rolling over, you have rolled over twice, but it was on the bed and I'm not sure it was a flat surface, so I don't count it! You do, however, scoot on your back and belly. You just kick your legs so much you eventually turn or move! So, maybe you won't roll over, maybe you'll just go to crawling! We'll see!
You are a very smiley baby! You finally realized that you can smile when I get the camera out! :)
Litte Girl, you are so amazing! :) We love everyday with you!!
