4 Months Old!!!

I can't believe it but on the 21st the Nata turned four months old! She had her doctor's appointment that day also. She weighed 14 lbs (55th%), was 24 1/8 inches long (48th%) and her head circumference was 41 cm (50th%).

This week has been a little hard for her. I gave her my cold so she has had a cough and been very congested. She got four shots at the doctor's office and has got a fever from them and we had to go to Kosair Children's Hospital to get her hip x-rayed. We had to go do this because during her check-up her hip was popping when the doctor rotated her leg. Luckily we got the results back on Friday and everything was normal.

She has learned to do some many new things recently. She plays with rattles and stuffed animals especially a little lamb. Don't worry, she is not eating the lamb she is just playing with it!!!She grabs anything in sight. I think Tia Lucia learned this yesterday when she grabbed and wouldn't let go of her hair! She talks a lot! Tia Cynthia thinks she is turning French because she does this funny "R" sound with her throat and (this one is the best) she has started GIGGLING!! She doesn't do it all the time but both Jason and I have heard her several times. It's the greatest sound!!

She is still not incredibly fond of tummy time but she is getting better every day. Yesterday when she was down for tummy time she started trying to get her knees under her body. She gave up pretty quickly though!! How fun crawling will be!! She has also realized that sitting is much more fun than laying down and that you can see so much more that way. She still can't sit on her own but we try to prop her on pillows and on our lap and she does pretty well. She has had some moments that she just can't hold her body up any more and falls forward on her face. Jason and I try not to laugh but it is just so darn cute. She just waits there for you to come and rescue her!




Bath time for her has also become bath time for me. We are still using her infant bath tub and she is just to big for it now. Water splashes everywhere!! I get soaked every time. She thinks its hilarious!

Introducing solid foods will not happen this month. I think we are going to try to wait until she is 6 months old unless she decides otherwise. That is fine with me. I am glad that we don't have to go buy a high chair in the middle of trying to move!!
