Our beautiful baby girl had her 4-month appointment last Tuesday. We felt so lucky that Trey was able to come with us because he was on vacation last week.
Here are her 4-month stats -
Head circumference - 41 centimeters (78th percentile)
Length - 25 1/2 inches (above the 97th percentile)
Weight - 15 pounds, 6 ounces (93rd percentile)
She is a wonderfully happy baby. She smiles so easily but my favorite is when she laughs out loud.
After being in the bassinet rocker for 4 months we finally moved her into her crib. I was extremely nervous that I was going to have to listen to her cry it out all night but it didn't phase her at all. She still slept her 8 hours, ate, and then went back to sleep for another 3 hours!
She is still a cat napper (15-20 minute naps) during the day but if you are holding her she will sleep for hours.
She loves being carried in the Baby Bjorn although she wants to be facing out so that she can see everything that is going on. She loves to sit and watch Henry playing. She is holding and grabbing onto toys and Henry thinks it is hilarious if she grabs onto his shirt or a toy that he hands to her.
She loves being outside and will fall asleep in her stroller almost every time she is in it.
She has beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes. She is already getting a tooth. It hasn't broken through yet but the pediatrician said that it is definitely there. She is obsessed with chewing on her hands and she gets really frustrated when they won't stay in her mouth. She loves playing with her feet and tries unsuccessfully a hundred times a day to get them in her mouth.
She has an unusual hairline much like her brother did at this age. Sorry Charlotte! :-)
She is still a great eater and exclusively breastfed. Unfortunately for Mommy, she isn't great with a bottle although that is something we are working on. She is in size 2 diapers during the day and size 3 at night. She is in 3-6 month clothing but most of it is getting pretty snug and because of her length, hard to snap at the bottom.
Unfortunately she isn't the greatest in her car seat. She will sleep for a while but once she gets hot (which is almost immediate in South Carolina) she wants out and she will let you know it.
These past 4 months have been challenging, tiring, and full of growing pains but they have also been full of joy, laughter, and immense love and we would not trade them for anything. We are so in love with our precious, wonderful Charlotte and cannot imagine life without her.
Happy 4 months Baby Girl! We love you and cannot wait to see what the next 4, 40, 400 months bring! :-)
