My little peanut was 4 months old yesterday!! What a difference a couple months makes. I now have a smiley, happy baby girl. The acid reflux medicine has made such a difference in all our lives! She had her checkup yesterday, she is:
14.1 pounds, which is in the 75th %tile
24.5 inches long, which is in the 60th%tile
with a tiny head, 40cm, which is in the 30th%tile.
She did get her shots, I'm proud of her though, she only cried until I picked her up, but boy did she give that nurse her best sad face! I almost wish I could have snapped a picture, that face was priceless.
She loves Garrett and her exersaucer, she hates her car seat and tummy time. She rolled over a bunch at 9 weeks, but hasn't since then, the Dr just said she's not motivated enough, we obviously know that she knows how. He said just more tummy time. The only problem is, Garrett doesn't like it when she's cries, so he tends to roll her over, lol!
Her eyes are still blue and her hair has a reddish tint to it still. I'm hoping to post some new pictures later today.
The Dr said we could start cereal, but he also said the latest, newest research suggests waiting until 6 months. He said it's completely up to us, but I think I'm just going to wait. She still has that gag reflux where she tries to push everything out of her mouth, and life is difficult enoughright now, so since she's growing quite well on just momma's milk, I'm just going to wait. He said we could wait as long as 9 months if we wanted too!! I am thinking more like 5 or 6 months, not 9!
She is a great night time sleeper, not as great a napper. I have just banned her from her swing, so she is not napping nearly as well. Her "normal" routine is a 30-45 minute nap at about 8, then again about 11, then she sleeps from 2-4 or 5, then takes a 30 minute nap about 7, then goes to bed about 8-8:30 and sleeps until 5 or 6. I decided if she could sleep 10 hours in her crib at night, she can nap in it too!
