Four Months

Can you believe our little peanut turned four months old last week! Well, I'm not so sure she is so little anymore. Anna had her four month check-up last Wednesday. She weighed in at 15lb 15 oz and 26 3/4 in long! We are now packing away 6 month clothes and moving onto 9 months -she is growing so fast and changing every day! Dr. Bergstein was very impressed with her developments. The four month growth spurt has definitely thrown us for a loop, with waking up throughout the night to difficulty going down for bed, we're hoping we can get back on a schedule this week. We're having more fun feeding her rice cereal and luckily she is improving with the spoon - looking forward to introducing more solids in a few weeks. Had a great time celebrating Greg's 30th Birthday party with family and friends last weekend- it turned out to be a fantastic party!

Here is what Anna is up to this month:
-cooing, squealing, baby babble - very talkative (& noisy too:)
-smiling, laughing
-Nurses four times during day, 1-2 bottles at night
-Sleeping USUALLY 9-11 hours at night
-3 naps during the day- still in her swing:) Working on naps in the crib
-Strong head control
-Loves her hands and holds them together in front of her face
-Strong grasp, loves to shake her rattles
-Enjoys her teething toy 'sophie' (really any toy, hand, fingers, lovie, etc to put in her mouth will do!)
-Loves interaction with others (especially being sung and talked to)
-rolling from belly to back
-turning on her sides (I think she'll be rolling from back to belly in a few weeks)
-likes sitting up
-still enjoys her activity mat (but only for a short period of time)
-eating rice cereal 2 times/day, getting better with the spoon
-starting to scoot back during belly time (I have a feeling she will be on the move sooner than later:)

Working part-time has fit perfectly into our schedule. Greg loves being a stay-at-home Dad one day a week - it is so fun to see his interaction with Anna, he is really such a fun, loving Dad. And of course Anna loves her day with her Nana. Here are some pictures from the past couple weeks- ENJOY!

Here's to a better night sleep

Well, this past week EVERY night Anna decided to start waking up in the middle of the night. As much as I missed those 2AM wake up's, I realized something was up and thinking she might be going through another growth spurt. I called the MD yesterday and she said it was time to start her on rice cereal. So here are some pics and short video clip of Anna trying rice cereal for the first time - her reaction was priceless:) Here's hoping to a better night sleep!
