Four months ago today. Unbelievable! Sure doesn't feel that way, although I honestly can't tell you if it feels like it's been longer or shorter. :) She had her four month appointment today--15 pounds (80th percentile) and 25.5 inches long (90th percentile). She also got her first shot today, and she did pretty well. Screamed like she's never screamed before when she got poked, but she calmed down fairly quickly after I started nursing her.
We got her a bouncer--one of those stand-up things that lets her jump. Boy, does she love that! Goes absolutely nuts. She's also getting better on her stomach, which is a relief--and a surprise, given we hardly ever put her on her stomach. And it's so cool to see her moving her feet now like she's trying to walk; we stand her up on the counter in the bathroom so she can look at herself in the mirror, and she marches in place. So cute!
The one bummer about all this growing up is that she's nearly grown out of her infant carseat (according to the manufacturer's size restrictions, anyway). That thing is sooo handy! It snaps in and out of the base, so that you don't have to keep screwing around with seat belts and such. But the next size up doesn't do that--it's not meant to come out of the car, which means you have to take the baby out of the seat to get them out of the car. Really sucks when they're asleep--right now we just bring the whole seat up to her room and put it in the crib. Not anymore. :( I think we'll keep the infant carrier in the trunk, though, until she really just doesn't fit at ALL, because it fits so nicely in the stroller and gives her a place to sit in restaurants and stuff. (She's still not quite big enough for a high chair.)
And speaking of growing, she completely fits her six month pajamas; no more room to grow in them. How is this possible?!
