4 months

Time has flown by! I know I keep saying this & will continue to say it, but it has. Our Ava is growing up so fast.

At 4 months stats:

She is a healthy little chunk. I bet she is about 16lbs & 26 inches long. We have a doc appointment next week.
My main concerns are her weight & tummy time. She has great head control when we hold her & can move from side to side. Even holds head up good when in bouncer & bumbo. Just will not lift head during tummy time.
Wears:
some 3-6 months
Mostly 6 months
Size 0 shoe, about to be in size 1
Diapers:
Size 2 pampers - dry fit
Pampers regular wipes
No diaper rash - desitine
Hates to sleep in a wet diaper - will wake up for diaper change
Formula:
Enfamil Infant formula with size 2 nipple
6oz @ every 3-3.5 hours = @ 32oz
Early feeding @ 4oz (still gets up once a night/sometimes 2 to eat or diaper change)
3-4 @ daycare
1 at home
Started cereal - wasn't a big fan
- mixed with banana's and loved it
- mix a little bit of cereal in night time bottle
Health:
NO MORE BRACE
Has not been congested in a long time
Not sleeping with humidifier anymore
Her clogged tear duct cleared up shortly after 12 weeks
Daytime routine:
Week days
Up at @ 6am - either she is ready or wake her up.
Always in a good mood & ready to chat
Change diaper & wipe her down with warm cloth
Gether dress for the day.
Tell daddy bye-bye
Load up & out the door by 6:45
She sometimes will fall back asleep on the way to daycare, not always
Weekends
I will get her @ 6am & sleep with her on the couch/bed. She will snooze until @ 8.
She stays in what she slept in until Ryan & I have had coffee/breakfast
Takes a mid morning nap, a long afternoon nap, then a little late afternoon nap
After daycare:
Chat @ her day
Get diaper bag for the next day
Tummy time, mat time, activity bouncer, watch mommy/daddy in kitchen while sitting in bumbo
Enjoy time outside if nice & daddy is grilling
Feed her cereal @ 6pm
Might nap for 30 mins
Night time routine:
Starts @ 8pm
Bath
Massage
Dressed for bed - in onesie & socks/doesn’t like full night gown
Swaddle lower body in receiving blanket
Daddy makes bottle, turns on cd player & night light
I get situated on glider & feed her
Daddy gives her a good night kiss on the forehead
Either rock her till she falls asleep or lay her in the crib/rocker with pacifier & she will put her self to sleep
Turn on video monitor
@ Ava aka chunks, princess & love bug
A total momma's girl
Such a good baby
Loves to observe her surrounds
Great with large crowds & family events
Has been to a little league baseball game, parties, grocery shopping, shopping, but has not been taken out to eat
Loves her play mat & activity bouncer
Drools like crazy
Sticks everything in her mouth
Can pull out pacifier (wish she could find it in her sleep & stick it back in..ha)
Loves to chat
Tries to hold her bottle
Likes to stand in your lap
Makes eye contact
Grabs for & holds on to toys/objects
Gives big grins when excited & has even made high pitched sounds
Hardly ever cries. Only makes noises to let you know she it tired of what she is doing (ex: on play mat, etc) or when it time to eat
Hates to be in a wet diaper
Still hates tummy time = When on tummy scoots forward with her feet, not lifting her head
Not rolling over, just rolls to the side while on back.
