4 Months Old!

1/3 of a year old! I can't believe it. We had a great check-up at the doctor. Here are here 4 month measurements

height: 22 3/4 inches (10%)
weight: 11 pounds (10%)
head circumference: 39 cm (10%)

While she is still only in the 10th percentile, she has come a long way...she was less than 3% at her 2 month check-up. Everything is growing in proportion and that is really all that matters. Her doctor thinks her eyes are going to stay blue, although they can change up to 1-2 years old. She got her 4 month shots while we were there. She got pretty upset and we had a hard time settling her down. Her legs starting bothering her again that evening and we had to give her her first dose of Tylenol. She was pretty sleepy that day and didn't eat too well, but that evening she was back to her smiley self!

Ashlyn is still wearing size 1 diapers. She fits into most of her 0-3 month clothes now. It is a lot of fun dressing her. She has so many options and they are all so cute! She eats every 3 hours during the day starting at 6. Her last meal is around 9 and she goes to sleep at 10 and sleeps through the night!!!! She still naps throughout the day. The doctor said once her night time routine is established, her naps will become more consistent. While she is awake, she enjoys swinging, sitting in her bumbo chair (thanks Ryan) or her infant seat, doing tummy time and laughing! She smiles and laughs (no noise comes out yet) ALL the time! She is starting to become more interested in her toys and she can hold onto them if we put them in her hand. She loves to taste everything especially her "lovey bunny". She still takes her medicine for her hemangioma and reflux and probably will for another couple of months. She loves to read books and seems like she really listens. She also really enjoys bath time. She is getting much more chatty and likes to stick out her tongue. It has been so hot this summer, that we haven't been able to take too many walks. But every chance we get we load her up in the stroller and cruise around the neighborhood. She is a good traveler and usually falls sound asleep in her car seat. She is getting a bald spot from squirming around in her crib and bassinet. She loves her mobile and her sound machine. She usually puts herself to sleep with very little fussing. She is a very good baby!

Here are some of our favorite pictures from her 4th month!
