4 Months

Age: 4 months Height: Not sure, doctor’s appointment Nov. 12 Weight: Not sure, doctor’s appointment Nov. 12 Head: Not sure, doctor’s appointment Nov. 12 Milestones: Avy loves to squeal and blow bubbles. She will make eye contact with you and follow you around the room with her eyes. She is reaching and grabbing her toys when she is on her back. She starts to roll over, but needs a little help to get all the way over onto her tummy. She is so close to laughing, it’s only a matter of time! She is sitting up better with only a little support. She still loves to stand up. We got her a jumperoo that she can stand in, but she doesn’t quite have it down yet. Sleep: Avy does well when we put her to bed. Her sleeping habits have changed a little. She seems to have become a very restless sleeper. We have to go in and put her back to sleep quite often. She hasn’t been doing long stretches of 5 or 6 hours like she was. She is going to bed earlier, around 8 or 8:30 at night. Then she wakes up to eat about twice before I get up for work. Best Moment: I love when she interacts with me. She smiles so frequently now when you talk to her and I love when she is so excited that she squeals! Worst Moment: Avy still has the GERD (acid reflux) issue and continues to spit up a lot of her bottles. She is still on medication which seems to help somewhat. I’m hoping that once she starts eating thicker foods and can sit up, she won’t spit up as much. Health: So far, no issues. Eating: Avy continues to gain weight and looks chubby, but doesn’t always take her bottles. She tends to eat every 4 or 5 hours, sometimes taking 5 ounces and sometimes 3 ounces. We still have to mix her bottles with rice cereal so I think that keeps her full longer. Teeth: Nope, but drooling a lot and consistently putting her hands in her mouth. Extra comments: Avy is really getting fun! She loves to play with her toys and talk back to you when you talk to her. She likes to look and books and be read too. She goes on frequent stroller rides and walks in her carrier, which she enjoys most of the time. She continues to love her baths. I’m not looking forward to when she discovers she can splash the water!
