Love this little girl so much:
It's hard to believe our baby girl is already 4 months old today! Time is going by SO fast with her. Here are some bullet points about her at 4 months old (considering I've been awful about her baby book this is starting to serve as one)...
Weighs 13 pounds 14 ounces and is 24.5 inches long (she has gained over 7 pounds and has grown 5 inches since birth)!
Still nursing, and still waking to nurse at night. I have all intentions of sleep training her at 6 months just like we had to do with Truett.
She is our severe reflux baby. We had to go through Zantac, then Prevacid, and finally found Nexium works for her. She seems to be doing soooooooooooo much better, we are all so happy for her.
Her bedtime is around 6:30 pm, and naps are still sporadic. I try to get her down after about 1.5-2 hours of "wake time" during the day. It doesn't always work out that way since our days can be busy, but I try.
She loves kicking her legs in excitement and has recently started to grab, hold, reach for, and push her playmat toys. She also likes holding your fingers. *sigh* I just love that little tender moment with baby. So simple but so sweet when they hold on to you like that. (NOT so sweet or tender when it's your hair though!)
She also goes in her jumperoo and bumbo now, although she isn't "jumping" yet she likes the new view and the little dangly toys and lights.
She likes to "stand" on her feet and can bear her weight, she likes sitting up with help, and she is finally starting to tolerate tummy time - woohoo.
Coos, babbles and giggles.
Other Likes: She loves faces. Loves her brother, mommy, and daddy's voices. Loves to be talked to, loves people to sing to her, loves watching mommy and Truett have a dance party (she laughs AT us, and I don't blame her). She gets the hugest gummy grin on her face when she sees you - even if it IS 3o'clock in the morning. She is so cheerful in the morning. She loves to be carried facing "out" - I tote her around like this all day. I cook one handed, clean, vacuum, etc, all while she hangs out on one side watching everything.
Dislikes: Only a few I can think of right now...She isn't a fan of taking medicine. Well, she use to do just fine and then she discovered her tounge so now it gets pushed out. She doesn't like to get overtired (hence the "go down for a nap every 2 hour" rule). She doesn't like gas, it hurts. LOL.
We're having fun and looking forward to watching her grow a lot more in 2011. :)
