Four Months Old! 05.07.12

Harper Leigh you are FOUR months old!!  This past month went by in the blink of an eye.  No joke!  You seem to be changing every single day, right before our eyes.

Sleep:  You sleep on average 11 hours at night from around 7pm until 6am.  No complaints from this Mommy!

Feed:  You eat every 3-4 hours and anywhere from 4 to 6 ounces.  You're still on Similac Isomil.

Weight:  You weigh 15 lbs 8 oz.  That puts you in the 77th percentile!

Length:  You are 25.5 inches long.  That puts you in the 89th percentile!

Diapers:  We are finishing up the huge box of size 1-2 that we got at Costco.  You are definitely ready for size 3.  We'll be headed to the store in a few days to stock up again.  We're barely squeezing your tush in the diapers we have!

Clothes:  You are in 3-6 months clothes and some 6-9 months clothes.  You are so long!  You're outgrowing your clothes way too fast.  I don't like it one bit.

Hair Color:  It's still light brown with some dark brown in the back.  Along with the oh so lovely bald spot.  Hopefully you get some more hair in soon.

Eye Color:  They are still blue like Daddy's.  Maybe we'll have two blue eyed babies after all.  Only time will tell.

Milestones:  You can roll over now in both directions!  You're also starting to laugh!  There's nothing better then the beginning of sweet baby giggles.

Favorite Toy:  Anything you can get your hands on.  You grab everything that's within your reach these days and they all go into your mouth.  We just bought you a activity jumper so you can sit up and play now.  You love it.  If only we could get your big sister D to stay out of it.

Firsts:

First time rolling from tummy to back 04.12.12
First housewarming party 04.21.12
First laugh at Mommy 04.22.12
First trip to a museum 04.28.12
First time rolling from back to tummy 04.28.12
First trip to the park 05.05.12

I asked your pediatrician about your head.  You have a flat spot in the back of your head on the right side.  She said to do more tummy time and to try to encourage you to look the other direction so that you're not constantly on that side.  Hopefully it will get better with time.  We want you to have a nice round melon.  Oh and your umbilical hernia is gone.  You have such a cute little outie belly button now.

That's all for month four!  I'm so excited for the month ahead.  You have many exciting new "firsts" coming your way.  One of which will be meeting Mickey!
