4 Months Old

Miss LT is 4 months old today! In some ways I feel like February 27th was so long ago but looking at LT I think she has grown so fast! We went in for her check up and of course they confirmed she has continued to grow like a weed! She is now 26 inches, in the 96th percentile; 17 lbs 13 oz, in the 99th percentile; and her head is 17 1/4 inches round, in the 98th percentile! (Meaning, if you line her up with 100 4 month old's she will be taller than 96 of them). At least she is proportional!

Must have been pretty relaxed!

She had 2 more shots but was such a trooper, momma cuddled her in close and she calmed down quickly.I truly believe in the 5 S's from the Happiest Baby on the Block (Dr. Karp). Swaying, sucking, shushing, side and swaddling; so simple yet effective!

Future Jimmie!

Her eyes are still beautifully blue and her hair is blonde with maybe a little strawberry in it! LT loves to sport the mohawk and this week a barrette even stayed in place, her hair is so fine they usually slip right out!

She still loves her momma's milk and is such a great eater! She sleeps up to 15 hours a night and only wakes to eat twice. LT loves her big girl crib so much she has to try out every position in bed. When momma checks on her, she is most often in another position from when she first went to bed. She loves to sleep on her side but if she kicks her legs to hard and ends up on her tummy she awakes with a cry! 

Of course Auntie K shares her zebra blanket during a mid morning nap!

LT continues to discover more about her surroundings. At the clinic today they were taking her temperature with a forhead scanner and as it moved from one side to another and beeped she tried to follow it! She loves to check out everything, on walks she is far to busy looking around to let the rhythm lull her to sleep!

Batting at the musical toys!

She loves her daddy time and their secret language! When daddy walks by she immediately smiles and expresses so much love and excitement! Who knows what they do all day while momma is at work but it must be a good time!

Those used to be long pants! Ha!

LT loves to sit up. If you lay her back she will immediately try and get herself upright. She gets about half way before falling back! LT is wearing 6 month clothes but this week we have gone into 9 month sleepers since the 6 month ones are getting short! I wonder where we will be in another 4 months!

LT will 'hold' the bottle if her hands are placed there!
