4 Month Roundup


I'm realizing that she is closer to 5 months but wanted to get this documented.

-she talks all the time, in her own language of course! She also squeals alot. She sometimes scares herself as I don't think she always knows the sound is coming from her

-she smiles all the time. Really you just have to look at her and she is grinning right back!

-she is a little wiggle worm. Won't sit still ever....this makes meeting interesting.

-she arches her back now in the bumbo seat and in her carseat and has come very close to getting out.

-she is on a very predicable schedule which I love!! She is still eating every three to three and half hours. She has a nap at 10 am for 45-60 minutes. Then an afternoon nap for 90-120 minutes. An evening nap for 45-60 minutes. Then off to bed at 8pm. She has a dream feed at 11pm (which I'm considering dropping as she hardly eats anything at that time anymore) and then eats at 6am and then back to bed until 8am.

-her skin is still quite bad. I can't bath her every night (which is disappointing as she loves baths) as it dries out her skin too much

-she has had a bit of rice cereal which she seems to like. She also watches us when we eat.

-she is starting to "fill-out". I think she is looking chubbier.

-I've been putting barrettes etc in her hair which she doesn't seem to mind

-she seems to have a favorite blanket and stuffed animal now. Coincidentally they are both from Grandma Hewlett

-she is sleeping in her crib now, not the bassinet
-I'm pretty sure she is teething. She chews and drools alot. Yesterday she had rosey cheeks, a bit of a fever and was fussy. Nothing has popped through her gums though!
