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!
