Tinsley, 4 months has flown by! You are growing and changing every day so much. I put away your newborn-3 month clothes a few days ago. I almost cried when I was folding up the newborn sleepers. It feels like we just brought you home and the newborn sleepers were big on you. The sleeves on one of the sleepers were still rolled up because when we put them on you at first, they were too long. I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. You are such a happy, sweet little girl and we all love you so much!
At four months you are:
- Eating 5-6 oz. every 3 hours during the day. We have been putting a tiny bit of rice cereal in your first bottle in the morning and last bottle at night.
- You are not spitting up(projectile vomiting) as much as you used to. You now only do this every couple of days. The rice cereal and medicine we got from the doctor a few weeks ago seems to be helping with this. We do put a little bit of karo syrup in your bottles because the rice cereal seemed to be causing you to have a little bit of trouble going to the bathroom.
- You love water! You drink about 2-4 oz. throughout the day every day.
- You also like prune juice. We dilute it- 1 oz. of juice to 3 oz. of water and you really seem to like it. This also seems to help your tummy.
- Sleeping about 7-9 hours at night.
- In the past week or so, you have started taking a good mid-morning nap for about 2-3 hours.
- You now LOVE being outside! This makes me so happy because I love being outside. You seem to get a little bit fussy in the evenings on occasion and normally if we take you outside, you calm right down. You are a big fan of rocking on the front porch at grandmom and granddad’s and watching their cats and the cows.
- You have started laughing out loud. This is absolutely the best sound I have ever heard and makes me laugh, which in turn seems to make you laugh even more. J
- You are chewing on anything and everything you can get into your mouth and drooling like crazy! I look every day to see if a tooth has made its way through, but nothing yet.
- You are still fascinated by your hands and your feet. When we put shoes on you, you normally have them off within seconds. You really seem to like to look at them when you have them on though.
- Still jabbering up a storm. Your favorite sound is the “a” sound.
- You still love your swing and normally take your mid-morning nap in your swing. Your newest thing is your exersaucer. You love to bang around and play in it. You are still a little bit wobbly in it, but we put a blanket in there with you and you have a blast!
- You are in 9 month Carter’s sleepers with the feet in them. I like for you to wear these so I don’t have to worry about you keeping socks on at night. The 6 month sleepers are too short. So, we are 9 month sleepers, but 6 month clothes.
- We go back to the doctor on Monday for a checkup and shots. L I am anxious to see how tall you are and how much you weigh.
