Elisabeth 4 months

 

Four months on October 11th

Katelyn loves to hold me now

I'm so cute!

apples the size of Elisabeth's head!

I can roll over from my back to front

I can ride in the stroller like a big girl now

I'm wearing the hat that Daddy bought me from the hospital in Lincoln City, where I was born.

I got MY TWO LOWER FRONT TEETH! 11/3/13

Elisabeth is still our very cute, sweet and very temperamental baby. I think I've decided that she just has a really strong personality. She can go from zero to sixty at the flip of a switch. She only nurses in the wee hours of the morning now. Otherwise she has decided she prefers a bottle and she is GONNA let me know about it. So, I still pump a few times a day and give her what I can.

She had a good 4 month check up. If you like growth charts she measured 16.46% for weight, 17.91% for length (but whatever, that medical assistant didn't measure her very well), 9.95% head circumference.  So, there you have it.

She weighed 12 lbs 4 oz
Length: 23.5" (more like 22.5")

She started sleeping through the night at the very beginning of October and has been consistent with it ever since. She will usually sleep around 7 hours before she wakes up to eat. Then she'll sleep a few more. She is always really happy and smiley when she wakes up in the "real" morning (when everyone is waking up).

She is very alert and usually has those really big wide eyes, taking everything in. She is starting to belly laugh and she loves her sisters.

I tried giving her some baby applesauce early this week. She didn't seem too impressed. Wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I'm not in a hurry to start her on food, I just thought I'd see how she handled it.
