Four Months Old

Baby girl is four months old...time to break out the tutus!!


This one is still a little bit big, but I couldn't resist. Outfit courtesy of Aunt Laurie.

I think Anna likes it. She thoroughly enjoyed chewing the tulle.

Anna had her well child exam today and her four month stats are 15 pounds 9 ounces, 25 1/4 inches long, and 16 inch head circumference. She's still a chubette, but is back on the growth chart at the 90th %ile.

At four months, Anna:

• Is sleeping from about 8:30 pm until 6 am. Shortly after she turned 3 months old, she started waking again for a feeding at 3 am, but this past week she has slept through the night several times. I'm hoping that's a trend that continues.
• Is starting to take 2 long naps per day (1-2 hours each).
• Is cooing and laughing.
• Is keeping her fingers in her mouth constantly! Not much drooling, though.
• Is eating about 7-8 times each day--still nursing, we're saving solids until the 6 month birthday.
• Likes to grasp her rattle and grabs for the hanging toys on her playgym.
• Is rolling over from her tummy to her back; she can almost roll back to tummy, but gets stuck on her side.
• Is wearing 3-6 months clothing and some 6-12 month clothing.

She JUST rolled over for the first time today. I told her it would be nice if she rolled over before her checkup so we could check off that milestone. When I put her on her playgym this morning while I got ready for her appointment, she promptly rolled over. She is definitely agreeable!

I do have a few pictures of her shots. Two of our nurses teamed up so Anna would feel minimal pain--is that princess treatment or what? She was pretty pitiful during the shots, but perked up and was smiling by the time we left.

"Why is everyone crowding around me??"

"Owww! Not nice!"

And a few more pictures of our big girl!
