4 Months Old!

Julia, I can't believe you're already 4 months old! I know I say every month "I can't believe your X months old" but I really can't. Time is passing so quickly! You had your 4 month check-up today and had another set of shots. You weighed 15 pounds 15.5 ounces and were 25 1/4 inches long putting you in the 90th percentile for weight and 70th percentile for height. You nurse in the morning and before bed and take a 4 ounce bottle around 8:00 a.m. and 6 ounce bottles around 10:00, 1:00, 4:00, and 7:00. You take about a 2 hour nap in the morning between 8:00 and 10:00 and another nap in the afternoon. Your bedtime is between 8:30 and 9:00 and you usually sleep until we wake you up about 6:30!

You love to "talk", blow raspberries, and have started to laugh out loud! You think it's hilarious when someone sneezes! We used your last size 1 diaper last night and you are officially in size 2 diapers today. You have really started to reach and grab for things and you love to sit up and watch what is going on. You still can't sit up on your own but I don't think it will be much longer. You have good control of your head/neck and love to use your neck to look all around. You're never still!

You still have your clogged tear duct and Dr. Whitaker is going to refer you to an opthamologist if it hasn't cleared up by your 6 month check up, but fingers crossed it will.

Just for fun here's your 3 month picture next to your 4 month picture. Happy birthday sweet girl! We love you!
