- She is eating about 5 ounces every 3-4 hours
- Mellany weighs in at a whopping 12.2lbs (10th Percentile) She's making her own curve!
- Her length measures in at 24.5 inches (50th Percentile) and her head measurement is in the 60th percentile.
- Clothing sizes: 0-3 month and 3 month....there are a couple of 3-6 month outfits that kinda fit
- We are still having some spit-up but no more vomiting thank goodness!
- She has rolled over from her belly to back via the right side
- Mellany has started laughing and it is super cute.
- Her smiles are becoming more and more
- Mellany is talking more and more often and is really starting to respond to questions and statements that you ask her.
- She is totally in love with her daddy; When he comes home, all is right with the world! He's the one that can really get her to laughing!
- We've started to have a bedtime routine and it is working really great (the girl loves to sleep); she's still sleeping in her own bed and it's really been a nice transition.
- She is sleeping through the night most nights; occasionally getting up around 2:30/3:00 to eat.
- Mellany is really starting to enjoy toys such as rattles and stuffed animals.
- She is constantly eating her hands....constantly! She's also eating just about anything she can get to her mouth.
- Her feet have been discovered and she loves getting a hold of them.
- She's getting some social interaction with "big kids" at the gym I joined recently and she just loves them. (And they love her.) When I come in from working out, I usually find her being held by the workers, facing the kiddos and just "talking" away with a huge smile on her face.
- She loves sitting at the table with us and watching us eat--we're thinking rice cereal might be a good start soon.
- Her hair is starting to grow which is causing some of her longer hairs to stick out.
- We've put her in the activity jumper a few times and even though her arms can't quite reach all the toys and her feet can't touch the ground, she seems to enjoy it.
- Elimination communication has become very successful for us and has helped us bond even more with her. She has peed and pooped on the potty too many times to count!
- Head control has greatly improved and we think she'll have full torso control any day. She sits great in the bumbo, just doesn't quite have the ability to sit on the floor without assistance yet.
She received her 4 month "round" of immunizations on February 7th and took them like a champ. She really is such a trooper, but man, they are still exhausting! She was a little fussy in the afternoon, but after giving her some tylenol to help, she was her normal self by the evening.
4 month photo shoot....(thanks Aunt Sam for the bow/wrap.....it's ADORABLE!)
So exciting! This age is when things not only get a little easier, but more exciting and fun!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we've tried E on the potty, and he wants no part of it. A little too old for a change, and not old enough to get it. The strong-willed child in him is not having any part of it. :) We will wait for another year, I suppose. At least L did perfect at that time.
I can tell you're doing a great job!
