4 Months

Size: She weighs 13 lbs. 15 oz. (50th%) and is 25.25 inches (80th%). Her head is 16.6 in. (80th%). Payton weighed exactly the same at her 4 month check up and was 0.05 inches shorter. I guess it's fair to say that they are pretty identical in size. She is wearing some 3 month clothes, but can also wear 6 months and they're not too big at all. She is in size 2 diapers.

Eating: She is still a very unpredictable eater. We fix her 6 ounces when we fix a bottle. She eats generally every 4 hours. We have tried some rice cereal and a few veggies. So far, she really isn't in to solids. We may take a break for a few days and try again.

Sleeping: She is still not sleeping through the night. I do realize that Payton completely spoiled us. She has gotten close a few times. Last week she was sleeping from 9-4 and even slept 8 hours straight on Friday night. The nights where she sleeps 7-8 hours are the nights where we can get her to take some type of solid food, so hopefully that will come with time also. Some of her naps are becoming longer instead of cat naps throughout the day. We still don't have her on a rigid schedule, but she has taken a nap in her bed a few times!

New tricks: This girl is rolling everywhere!!! As mentioned in the three month post, she had just started rolling both ways. She is now a rolly polly and will get across the room within a matter of seconds. We stopped swaddling her when I found her rolled over in her bed (while being swaddled). I was worried that would mess up her sleep, but it hasn't a bit. She pretty much rolls to her tummy as soon as we lay her down and gets her little knees underneath her. It's the cutest thing, I am going to try to get a picture. She also found her voice this past month. She loves to have conversations and listen to every word when someone speaks to her.

She is becoming less dependable on her paci, and sometimes just doesn't care for it. We are pretty sure that she has started teething, which is really no surprise since Payton cut her first tooth at 4.5 months. She is still a pretty good baby most of the time. I tell people that she's all or nothing. When she's happy, she is so content, but when she gets mad, it's bad. Luckily, that doesn't happen too often.

She has a little cold/cough right now so we are hoping to get rid of it and have our smiley girl back. Happy fourth months, Harper bug!
