Kaylin had her 4 month appointment this past week. She's getting big! She is in the 50th percentile for her weight at 14 lbs 6 oz, and in the 87th percentile for her height at 26"! Holy cow! I can't believe how big she is getting. It's just crazy!
Some of the things she's up to at 4 months...
She is starting to sit up on her own. She does pretty good with a little support, but is still kinda wobbly when she tries sitting by herself.
She's getting better with tummy time. It's cute when she gets mad though. She'll put her face down on the bed or whatever she's laying on and just scream at it. We're still working on rolling over though. She'll get over on her side then scoot her bum and legs over then roll back onto her back. And ta da! She's facing a different way!
We also got her one of the bouncy seat activity centers. She loves it! She can turn herself in it and has figured out what all the toys do. And it's all fun and games until she gets mad because she can't pull the toys off. Darn daddy putting them on right! She also loves the Boise State monkey that Grandma and Grandpa sent her for Christmas.
She loves anything she can put in her mouth. Her teeth haven't broken through yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
She has started showing a lot of interest in what mommy and daddy are eating and drinking. She loves trying to get mom's drink! We've started giving her rice cereal, maybe once every couple days. She loves it! She'll eat a little bit, but then get tired of it and want to nurse anyway. Not that I'm in a huge hurry to stop nursing. :)
She is sleeping through the night pretty well. She'll go down between 10 and 11, wake up to eat between 3 and 4 and fall right back asleep, then will usually sleep until between 8 and 9. Naps during the day can be a bit tricky. She'll take a couple half hour naps in the late morning and early afternoon, then usually a bit longer one in the afternoon. She's actually asleep right now, which is why I'm actually getting the chance to finish this. :)
She loves her puppies. She'll sit there screaming and crying, turn around and see Smokey and Misty and she'll be all smiles again. Before she was born I always worried about how the dogs would act around her (because they aren't huge fans of kids), and I still worry sometimes, but we've never had any issues. They let her pet them, and they give her kisses in return. They'll even lay on the floor next to her. Hopefully it stays that way as she gets bigger and moves around more...
We really can't go anywhere without someone telling us how cute, adorable, pretty, etc. she is. And it's all true! She is such a doll. Her smile and giggle makes me melt. As much as the screaming and crying stresses me out at times, she's still a sweetheart. I love that girl!
