Alice
You turned 4 months old last Sunday, and you were in Montana
to celebrate (hence the late post).
Stats
At your 4 month check you Weighed 13 pounds (34%) Head
Circumference 16.1 in. (50%) and Height 24.5 inches (57%). You are wearing the 3-6 month onsies
and are finally fitting those 3 month pants without problems. You are just getting into size 2
diapers (although dad thinks the size 1’s still work, you have too many leaks
for my taste so I just moved you up in sizes)
Firsts
You got your first haircut when you were 3.5 months old. You
went out of state for the first time, in fact you entered two new states just
before you turned 4 months old!
You met a ton of new cousins and second cousins and first cousins once
removed (I looked up all of the definitions of these and it’s true she met all
of these relations) You started
sucking your thumb and you are putting everything in your mouth, it’s quite
entertaining.
Tricks
You are rolling all over the place. You flip from your tummy to your back
regularly and at times you will roll from your back to your tummy. You like to stand and are very
strong. You LOVE to arch your back
and look at the word from an upside down perspective. You are still a bit stingy with your laughs however you get
the giggles and will laugh out loud for 15 minutes at a time with us. (we love
these times) You have also found
your toes and you love them. You
are constantly pulling your feet up to your face and putting those little toes
in your mouth (thanks to cousin Quinn for introducing you to your “toe guys”) You are starting to put your binkie
back in your mouth when you spit it out, but you don’t quite know how to get it
in the right way.
Alice I have been so sad for you, this month your acid
reflux has gotten worse and you are having problems with being gassy and it is
very uncomfortable for you. We
have tried different things with your meds and can’t find relief for you yet,
but we are still trying and working hard to figure it all out. You still remain one of the happiest
babies I know. You are smiling,
laughing and cooing most of the time, but when you are sad, hurting or hungry
you cry which is hard to watch! You
are so loved by everyone around you and your smiles are contagious. We love you and are excited to see what
month 4 brings!!!
Love,
Mom and Dad
