Kendall Paige, you are four months old!
You had your 4
month appointment yesterday. You
weighed 14 lbs and 1 oz. Your
head circumference was 16 ½ in. You
are 24 1/2 inches long. All three of these
are in the 75%. Your appointment also
included more yucky shots! You slept
most of the day away after that.
You are eating every three to four hours. You have gone from being completely bottle
fed to mostly nursing. Cereal is in
your near future.
You are still
sleeping through the night. Occasionally
you want an early 4AM snack, but then you go back to sleep. A lot of the time you
will sleep until 6:30. You like to turn
in pretty early. By 7:30, you want your
last feeding and by 8 or 8:30 you are asleep for the night. You have slept the last 2 nights in the
nursery in your crib. You are sleeping a
little better in there than your much too small bassinet in mom and dad’s
room. Although Mom and Dad hated to see you go, it
was time.
This was the month
we said goodbye to the swaddle. It took
a couple of days to get use to life on the outside but now it is going great!
After weeks of
being on a 3 hour schedule, we are trying a four hour schedule. You eat and stay up for 2 hours, and then you
sleep for 2 hours. We’ve had so many
schedule interruptions lately that you are more accustomed to your 3 hour
schedule still.
You are forever
keeping your hand in your mouth! Mom is
starting to think you are part cannibal!
And you are not a huge fan of your pacifier anymore. You will take it occasionally, or if being held
in church, to go to sleep.
You are still
wearing size one diapers. You have
about 15 left, then you are moving up to size 2. You are wearing 6 to 9 month
clothes, although a lot of the 6’s are getting too small.
You have the
sweetest smile. And love to “talk” to
mom and dad. We like it pretty well
too.
We thank God daily
for the treasure of being your parents!
