Eliana you are 4 months old!!!
-You are wearing mostly 3-6 month clothing. I can still squeeze
you into a few 3-month
outfits and you can wear 6-month ones, also.
-You are still wearing a size 2 diaper.
- You weighed 14 lbs 8 oz at your 4-month doctor’s appointment.
- You were 24.5 inches long at your appointment, and I’m not
sure what your head
circumference measurement was.
- You did fine while getting your shots again. You looked at the
nurse after the 2nd one as if
you couldn’t believe she did it again.
You got a little fussier after these, broke out a little at
the injection site,
and you definitely ran a fever. Dr. Adams told us to only give you Tylenol
if
you got really fussy, but we never had to give it to you. You did wake up in the middle of
the
night for a few nights after your shots.
-You are still refusing to take a bottle. I love nursing you, but sometimes it
would really be
helpful if we could give you a bottle.
-You are still sleeping through the night! However, Daddy
decided that when we got back
from our trip to Florida it was time to move you
into your crib in your room. I was very
sad! You still sleep through the night,
but you wake up about an hour earlier every morning
(6:30 am). I really miss
having you sleep so close to us, but I know it’s best for everyone.
- You have gotten better about riding in your car seat, but I
started getting really worried
about it on our trip to Florida. We had to drive
to Alabama first (7 hours) because Daddy’s
grandfather died, and you slept
almost the whole way. We stopped in Chattanooga for a
couple of hours on the
way to let you get out of the car. That seemed to help. You only
fussed once we
got to Birmingham, which is only about an hour away from Tuscaloosa.
Once we
left Alabama we drove halfway to Orlando and stopped at a hotel. You did fine
on
that trip, also. The next morning we got up and drove the rest of the way.
You fussed a
little, but it wasn’t bad at all (maybe 2 out of 17 total driving
hours). However, once we got
to Orlando anytime we drove around town during the
trip you were fussy. I thought we had
broken you. We left Orlando and went to
Ocala for a few days, and it was the same there.
We think it was because there
was usually someone in the backseat with you, and you
thought they could save
you and get you out of your seat. We couldn’t decide if we wanted
to drive home
in 1 day or 2, but we ended up doing it in 1. You slept almost the whole way,
and I was very afraid that you wouldn’t sleep that night. It took awhile to get
you to sleep
(midnight), but once you did you were fine. I think you were just
ready to play after
sleeping all day. It was also the first time you slept in
your room (6-26-12). It was a rough
night for Mommy, but you did fine!
-You still go to sleep almost every night without any problems!
- In Alabama we stayed with Daddy’s great aunt, JoAnn. As soon
as we walked into her
house, you had the biggest spit up I have ever seen you
have, and it went all over her nice,
clean floor.
-You chatted through the whole funeral, and I think you were
trying to sing with Daddy
when he was singing.
-You loved going to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure
because there was so much
to look at!
-You have started turning in your crib. You go to sleep facing
one direction and by morning
you have rotated 90 degrees.
- You pooped constantly in Florida! There were some days where
you did it at least 8
times!
- Everyone thinks you are just too cute!
- I still think you are teething, but I don’t see any teeth,
yet.
-You can lift your head to a 90 degree angle when you are on your belly and
lift up on your
hands.
-You really like toys now. I bought you a new toy for our trip,
and you enjoyed it. We call it
your Woozle. Nana bought
you an elephant that makes a crinkly sound and its legs are
designed for you to chew on. You really like it, too. We call it either your Heffalump or
your Ellie-phant. The Heffalump and Woozle names came from Winnie the Pooh. We keep
both of those toys in your car seat. Once we got home from
Florida, it was like you loved
toys all of a sudden. When we put you in your exersaucer you cared about the toys on it for
the first time.
- You still love your burp cloths.
- You still like to suck on your fingers, but you have also
found your thumb. So far, you are
not a constant thumb sucker, though.
-Your eyes are still stunning, and I love your chubby cheeks and thighs.
-You still love to be held.
-You still enjoy diaper changes.
- You are giggling more now. Sometimes you will even giggle at
me when I am feeding you.
-You still get the hiccups a lot.
