4 Months Old!
Our little Addie is not so little anymore. Here are your 4 month stats sweet girl!
Weight : 15 lb 9oz (75th percentile)
Height: 26 inches (90th percentile) ---->Daddy has the basketball waiting for you!
Clothes Size-some 3-6mo, 6-9 mo
I kept thinking, Gosh these clothes sure do run small. HA! I figured it out after a lady brought her daughter into my triage room at work. She had her infant daughter with her. I noticed how cute she was and figured she was about Addie's age and size. I said "What is she, about 4 months?" The lady said, "No, shes 6 months, almost 7." It hit me then, Addie is a little bit bigger than other 4 month olds! :) But that is okay, we love her little fat legs and chubby cheeks.
We see a lot of different family members in your face each day. Sometimes I think you look just like me when I was a baby...other days I see Brandon or my brothers expressions on your face.
I am so grateful that I get to spend most days with you at home. I am only working two days a week so I get to watch you grow and do new things each day. Our day usually consist of waking around 8 on my off days. I used to get up at 6 before you came along, but these days we snooze until your Daddy wakes up to go to work. We usually get up and have a bottle. Sometimes you will take a morning nap around 10. We like to go outside and water the flowers. You still love the outdoors and love to look at the trees. You sits in the bouncer while I work in the yard sometimes. After a little run in with a scary pit bull a few weeks ago we don't let you sit in the bouncer unless you are in the backyard. We recently got a new privacy fence so I feel even better about us being outside.
We still have not put you in the nursery at church. I guess we might start soon. We did finally get a babysitter recently and we love her. She is our neighbor and is super sweet and does great with you
Developmentally you are doing great. You are reaching for things now after you see them and with great success! You love to grab onto Mommy's hair, arm, and nose. You grab onto your toys and most everything you put into your mouth. You suck on your hands constantly.
You roll over from your back to your tummy, but can't get back over. You are holding your head up great while on your tummy.. You usually look around for a while before you get fussy.
We are still breastfeeding. I usually breastfeed you and then give you a bottle. You are up to a 4 ounce bottle now. You used to hold only my shirt, and sometimes you still do while you feed. But now you like to hold onto one of my fingers very tightly while you eat. You are starting to grab onto your bottle a good bit and can hold it up, but can't really do anything with it yet but assist! ;)
You are still sleeping though the night. You get ready to go to sleep around 8 and by the time we feed you and you fall asleep it's close to 9. You still sleep in the pack/play next to my side of the bed. Two weeks ago we put you in the crib two nights in a row and you slept all night. But-Mommy had a hard time letting you be so far away. So, you are back in our room. You recently started rolling over onto your belly to sleep and this made me nervous. So I thought I'd give you a few more weeks. Okay, I thought I'd give me a few more weeks. Hey-it makes it easier to feed you in the middle of the night. :)
You are on your way to sitting up already. If your hold onto my fingers you start to pull yourself up into a sitting position, but only make it about 1/8th of the way. It won't be long.
You laugh all the time. Anytime I smile at you you start to laugh and start usually pull your hands up to your mouth. You kick your feet a lot when you giggle. It's so cute.
You are definitely used to the camera. You have been incredibly patient while Mommy learns how to take pictures of you. Sometimes I have to sing to you to bribe you to smile. Your favorite song is I'm a Little Teapot. I can almost guarantee a smile out of you if I sing that that.
You certainly have a sweetness about you. Your smile lights up a room and I know you are going to grow into a caring, loving little girl. I am sad that you are growing so fast but I am truly looking forward to all the wonderful times we have ahead of us as well.
We have our first beach trip coming up next week. I'm looking forward to playing with you in the pool and walking on the beach with you and your Daddy.
