Four Months

Sophia,
You are four months old today (June 28, 2012).

Weight: 12 lbs 12 oz (25%)
Length: 23.5 in (10-25%)
Head: 40 cm (10-25%)

You are wearing size one diapers.

You are wearing 0-3 month clothes and 3-6 month clothes, depending on the brand.

You are still eating every 2.5-3 hours. You do not seem to be satisified by bottles until you get FULL. You drank at least five ounces when you were drinking a bottle. When I finished the school year you still nursed every 2.5 hours (maybe to get my milk supply up).

You sleep through the night - normally about ten hours.

You still do not have a set schedule, but you are flexible and have a pretty good routine.

You smile all the time. You have just become aware of when we leave the room. The only time it has been a major problem is when it is time to go to bed for the night. You cry when you realize we are not in the room.

You do an amazing job with tummy time, although you prefer to be on your back. You can roll from your front to back and from your back to front. You like to spend a lot of time on your side when you are playing. You grab onto everything and have just started to pull on hair.

You had quite a few fussy periods at home this month. Everyone comments on how good you are when we are out. You are very interested in everything around you!

You sometimes use a pacifier when you are sleepy, but not very often. You love to put your fingers, hand, and anything else you can get ahold of in your mouth.

You love to watch the dogs. They are more comfortable with you this month. Kona has started checking on you when you are in your crib. I think he just likes to know where you are. They both will lay near you as long as you are not fussy. One day you even tried to get Hunter's tail in your mouth!
