Belle turned 4 months on September 23rd! It has FLOWN by, and I know the newborn stage is tough and you sometimes want to rush it to get to where they are sleeping better and not as fussy, it's still crazy how time has flown.
Here are a few things that she is doing now:
- Her hair is still so cute and red
-Laughing and giggling and the best part is when her big sister Luna makes her laugh. It's hysterical and sooo cute!
-She is now liking tummy time and reaches and grasps for objects on her play gym, and holds onto her feet
-Has rolled over a few times from tummy to back
-She still is being breastfed exclusively, so no solids yet
-Sleep used to be great. I guess that was the only good thing I could report when she was colic as she slept 8 hours a night. But now, she wakes up about 2 times and then has been waking up early! Like 4:30am early. We put her down at night around 7:00pm and are working on getting her to bed earlier so she will sleep later. I guess newborns go in waves with growth spurts and stages.
Her pediatrician, Dr. Deuber said she is doing great! I complained that her sleep isn't so great now and Dr. Deuber said that Belle is a very alert baby and that she will grow up to be smart and that she doesn't tell that to all of her babies :) Well, still, that means I have had 2 alert and fussy babies, what happened to second borns being easier? Oh well, my babies have still been the cutest things ever!!!
As for her stats, she is growing well, but her weight is a little on the small side and hasn't grown much. We are watching for acid reflux and will try to nurse more frequently even though I was nursing every 2-3 hours during the day already.
Weight: 13.4 lbs
Height: 24.75 in
Head: 40.25 cm
