4 months old


Our sweet little girl turned 4 months old yesterday.  Time has got to start slowing down!  She is at such a fun age - so happy and full of smiles.  It is really unbelievable how much you can love someone.


Harp at 4 months:
  • She weighed in at 13 pounds, 8 ounces and is 23.5 inches long (both 50th percentile).
  • She still sleeps great at night!  She's gone 12 hours straight a couple of times, but she usually sleeps about 10.5 hours, eats, and then sleeps another 2.5 or so hours.  It varies though.
  • She takes 2-3 naps a day usually (anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours).  She puts herself to sleep, in her crib, at nap time.  She still fusses some, but we wait 15 minutes to turn the monitor on and she's asleep by that time.
  • She eats 5 times a day (still only breast milk.  The doctor recommended starting cereal, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet.)
  • She still loves sucking on her fingers (or my arm or her toys...)
  • She's just starting to discover her feet
  • She picks up her toys and shakes them or brings them to her mouth
  • She enjoys riding in the baby bjorn now that she faces out.  She'll give big smiles to all of the strangers that she meets.  She also enjoys riding in the stroller now that she rides in it directly (vs. the car seat attached to the stroller).
  • She has seriously got to be the best. baby. ever!
