Four months!

I totally missed last month's update, but I would have just been guessing with the stats anyway. So, here you go!

Me and my beautiful girl... Yeah, I know I look like crap, but if I didn't post pictures I look bad in... well, there would never be any!

Four month stats
Height: 25.25" (90th percentile)
Weight: 14lbs,7oz (75th percentile)
Hair: Still red, and people keep asking where it came from! She hasn't really lost any, but only the one front section seems to be getting any longer. Seems like a littl mohawk.
Eyes: Still her beautiful blue!
Sick: Poor baby girl has thrush! (A yeast infection of the mouth mostly found in infants or older people because of their weakened immune systems.) We have to give her droppers of medicine every time she eats and re-sterilize all of her bottles and binkys. We thought she might be teething, and even thought we saw and felt her top teeth poking through, but the doctor said she didn't notice any tooth activity going on, so it was probably just this making her cranky. Also she had to get two shots today. She screamed until I picked her up, then she was happy and fell asleep right away in the car.
Clothes: It depends. She can still fit into most of her 0-3 month stuff, but the PJs and onesies are getting a little snug and the pants and dresses a little short. We've pulled out the 3-6 month stuff, but she normally just wears the 0-3. I'll probably pack up all the 0-3 months stuff next week though, just to make it easier to organize.
Eating: This girl definitely loves to eat! A few weeks ago she must have been going through a major growth spurt because she went from eating about 18oz per day while I was at work to like 30! She slowed down for awhile, but seemed to pick up a little again last week. We got a new (fancy!) breast pump hoping that would help, and it has a little. But she has worked through our stash and I have, incorrectly, assumed a few days would be the day she ended up having formula. A couple days last week I had Peter come pick up what I get in my first pump of the day and I've started trying to do some a little in the evenings and last weekend. The doctor suggested that if she's not getting full on the 7oz every 4-6 hours she should be eating we might want to try her on some solids... I was hoping to make it to six months with no formula and no food, but I might need to weigh which is the lesser of two evils. She is starting to show interest in food though, and Nate started early and is pretty healthy, so I might just have to give in. I even froze our first batch of carrot cubes over the weekend.
Sleep: Well, for awhile I was back in the chair with her most nights (or letting her sleep with us in bed when she would), but over the last week she's actually slept through the night 3-4 times either in her own crib or the pack'n'play. Don't tell anyone, but this has happened since we have accepted the inevitable and put her to sleep on her belly. Since she is a rolling machine and can lift herself up no problem we feel comfortable doing this. She also took two long naps this weekend which she's never done for me before, but apparantly does for Dianne all the time. The dr said she shouldn't NEED to feed overnight anymore so I might need to start having Peter get up with her now so her food source isnt so easily accessible. I would also like to add that both of my children have loved me enough to sleep through the night on their first Mother's Day - a wonderful gift for this sleep deprived mom!
Awake: She is getting very curious! She likes to check out and reach for the bears on her swing and has recently started playing with the toys on her car seat. She loves bath time with her brother. She will splash and smile when she's in there. She also doesn't seem to mind his splashes too much. We have also put her in her rolling chair some to mixed results. She seems to like it a lot... sometimes... for about 20 minutes. But that's really all she should be in it anyway.

Reaching for the stars... or the bears... whichever are closest!

Maybe she has a thing for bears...

Rolling: About a month ago she rolled from her back to her belly! Now she pretty much gets around by rolling and rolling and rolling.
Scooting: She definitely doesn't crawl yet, but she has done some army style crawling. It's very slow and over very short distances, but it has been done!
Laughing: Around the same time she rolled from back to belly she also laughed! I thought I heard her laugh one day, I can't remember what I was doing. But she really seems to like when I put her on my knees, she kicks and I pretend that she kicks my face. Today she laughed when Nte made an elephant noise at her. I love baby laughs!
Nate: He seems to have gotten over the worst of his sibling rivalry. He still acts like a baby sometimes to try to get attention, but has gotten a lot more independent in the last few weeks. He now calls her Mia instead of just Sister, but sometimes I'm not sure if he's saying "me" or "Mia". He loves to give her hugs and kisses and today he was teaching her how to dance. He's pretty much just a great big brother!
