You, sweet cheeks, are so full of personality and life right now. We are loving this age with you. You are by far the happiest, big smile baby!
On the 10th you turned 4 months, but our doctors appointment was today. You are 12 lbs!!!!! Every time we go, you re even....born exactly 5 lbs, then exactly 7 lbs., then 8 lbs. even, and now 12 lbs. You are 12th percentile for your weight and 36 percentile for your height at 23 3/4 inches. You are such a little peanut.
Dr. Webb was eating you up...you held his finger the entire time and was telling him everything. Since you are doing o well, we get to start learning how to eat from a spoon. You now can have 1 tbsp of rice cereal (from a spoon) once a day....so by 6 months you are ready to start actual foods like peas, squash, and all that fun stuff. We just want to make sure you can master eating with a spoon so at 6 months you are ready to roll with the foods.
Speaking of roll, you rolled for the first time at your appointment today....right there on the table/bed. The nurse had just asked if you roll yet, we answered "No!" and then you sure showed us up!! We were so excited...you were a little shocked. And, you laughed for the first time yesterday at daddy when he picked you up from daycare....
See what I mean, about what a fun age!!!
Now that you have outgrown your preemie size, and we have you on special, thicker formula, we have had hardly any reflux issues...and now that you are rolling, it is time to give up the nap nanny in our crib and have you sleep on the actual crib mattress. Took a little more time tonight, but right now, we are doing well. Hopefully you will continue sleeping through the night. Dr. Webb said you should start sleeping 5-6 hour stretches a night. HA! You already sleep 9+ hours each night. Hopefully, that will continue.
You truly are such a blessing!! You bring so much joy into our lives. We love you so incredibly much!
