4 months and one week old-update from the mom

this is the update from the mom for mag's latest!
  • she is doing great. she is officially on rice cereal as of today. we gave it to her once a few weeks ago but decided to wait until she went to the dr. she went today and all is well.
  • she weighs 16.6lbs and 24.5 in long. she is only in the 48% for height (like me) but she is in the 91% for weight! thats my little michelin baby. but who doesnt love a fat baby?
  • she is talking a ton as you can see from the video "talking up a storm". she is trying to roll from back to front and is chewing on everything. the dr said even though she is drooling and probably teething she doesn't think she will have any teeth until 6 months. so we will see.
  • she is still happy all the time with a few meltdowns thrown in. she has been waking up a lot lately in the middle of the night, the dr said it was probably b/c of growing and until she is 6 months it is ok to go to her and comfort her. after 6 months they recommend letting her cry it out for a while. i read a magazine the other day that had 4 different methods for getting your baby to sleep through the night and thankfully one of the methods was called the "no cry method". i am grateful a real method exists that is called that because i was beginning to think i was a bad mom b/c i don't like to let her cry for too long.
  • we are going to have to move her to her crib soon b/c she is about to outgrow her bassinet but i can tell you that it is going to be hard. not only do i like having her right there so i can see and hear her so close but it is so convenient when she needs to eat!
she is the best baby and i can't be more grateful for her!
