Another month has flow by. This month more than any other seems to have gone by at lightening speed. Maybe it's the fact that I have been going back to work or the fact that days are longer and I just want to soak up every bit of daylight with my girl, but I feel like if I blink I am going to miss something!
This past month has been great! Emerson's personality is coming through and she is definitely getting more "active," if that is even possible at four months old. She has rolled from tummy to back several times and is getting up on her sides when she is laying on her back, so needless to say there is no more lay right here on the couch or changing table while I go grab this or that. Not that I did that anyway....bad Mommy.
Sweet girl is starting to reach and grab for toys and of course as soon as she gets a hold of anything, right to the mouth it goes. She is laughing more and starting to squeal in delight, which completely melts my heart. She LOVES to talk and usually goes to sleep and wakes up talking to herself. It really is the cutest thing. Sleeping has been a bit of a challenge over the last few weeks, but overall I really can't complain. She goes to bed between 7/7:30 and wakes once to eat in the middle of the night and is up for the day around 6/6:30. During the day she takes 4 naps, usually 2 little cat naps and one or two longer naps. Over the next month I am going to start trying to transition her to 3 naps a day and work on weaning her off the night feeding, since nutritionally she doesn't really need it. I do enjoy our middle of the night chats though, so we will see how this goes. She loves Mommy's milk and the plan is the remain exclusively breastfed until her 6 month check up...we'll see if our curious little girl can wait that long!
Today at the doctor Nugget got her 4 month vaccinations. She did awesome. She screamed for about 30 seconds and then went to town on her pacifier and was out once we got in the car. She kept right on snoozing once we got home so we could both enjoy a nice long run before it was time to eat. She is such a trooper and I couldn't be more proud.
And for the statistics...
Weight: 14 pounds 2 ounces (51st percentile)
Height: 25 3/4 inches (94th percentile)
Head Circumference: 15 1/2 inches (17th percentile)
Diapers: 2's
Clothes: 3 month, 3-6 month and 6 month (all depends on brand)
She really couldn't get any sweeter, at least in our opinion!
Happy Friday!
