Quinn had her 4 month birthday last week, but we thought we would update after her doctor's appointment. She is now 15lbs 14 oz (71%ile), 25 1/4 inches long (73%ile), and her head circumfrence 16.2 inches (43%ile). She was chatting it up with all the staff and was so happy to show off, until she got her shots. Boy, I was glad I had a bottle for her. We were told to start giving her Vitamin D drops and wait to start feeding solids until 6 months due to our family history of food allergies-first cereal, then veggies, then fruits.
Quinn's likes: She loves her fist, paci, and anything else she can get in her mouth, standing, bouncing in her jumperoo, flirting, laughing, grabbing hair and jewelry, pinching mommy and daddy's necks when she is fussy at the end of the night, kicking in her baths, being kissed, rolling, trying to do sit ups, and getting any attention. When she wakes up in her crib she likes to yell or talk to herself. She still enjoys being swaddled at night but we now have one arm completely out and are working on the other. She has been enjoying long naps (5hours at a time), but we have been paying for it at night. This past week she has been waking up around 1:00am. The doctor said it may not be the napping and could be from teething.We are trying to get her back on track.
Quinn's dislikes: She still doesn't enjoy being put in her carseat but once she is strapped in she is fine, falling asleep is a challenge this week-she tries so hard to stay awake, and when mommy and daddy are out of site she yells until she can see or hear them again. I love that her dislike list is so much shorter. She is really a good baby.
I went back to work last week for three days. My mom and cousin, Shannon, helped out the first two days and the third I brought her with me. She was good for them and it made it so much easier to go back. She loved her first day of school and had fun meeting my friends and all the students. The good little girl napped in her carseat without any problems. She was a real trooper and she didn't get any lice that had been going around the school the week prior...thank GOD.
I'm 4 months old!
