Our Sweet Girl is now 4 months old! We really can't believe it. It seems like we brought her home yesterday, and at the same time it seems so long ago that we were up at night with her - none of us getting a lot of sleep.
We went to the doctor on May 6th and got some good stats to share with you! She weighs in at 13 pounds 7 ounces and is 25.5 inches tall! She is doing very well and is eating a ton. He said she looked great and when we asked if it was normal for a (just turned) 4 month old to be eating 30+ ounces a day he said yes. He also said we could start her on rice cereal if we wanted, to try to fill her up more.
Oh my goodness she is growing so fast!
She also got her 4 month (duh) shots. This, she didn't like at all! She obviously cried, so did I, but we were able to comfort her before we left the clinic.
Since then, Adelle has been really talkative and has been reaching for, and playing with toys within her reach. We got a cute toy to go on her car seat that she likes to play with. When we drive places she reaches out and hits the toys, then talks to them. It's so adorable! She has also been playing with the toy on her little seat. She will suck on her fingers and then hit the toy, suck on her fingers then hit the toy.
Did I mention she likes to suck on her fingers? She loves to suck on the first two fingers on her right hand. When she is really hungry she will suck on/eat both of her hands and sometimes gag herself on them. Hopefully, she will grow out of this sooner rather than later. We've tried giving her a pacifier and she just spits it out.
Addie has been sleeping really well! We put her down between 7-8pm and she'll sleep through until 6 the next morning!!! Mom and Dad really appreciate that! We're also trying a couple new routines. Dad puts her to bed at night and Mom wakes up with her in the morning. This is working for the most part but I think Addie really misses her Mom at night time. Sometimes she'll cry really hard when Dad puts her down and then Mom will come in and she'll calm right down and fall asleep.
Wow - she is sleeping great! I wish Ava were. She seems to really be going through the four-month regression. Mainly it's just getting her down at night, but sheesh!
ReplyDeleteWell, we posted this and got jinxed! She's gotten up the last few days an hour or two earlier than she had been. Now Mommy gets to work with that.
