four months old

Of course, the one in which she is smiling is blurry...

We had the four-month check-up this morning, and Britton is doing really well. Some stats: 15 pounds, 2 ounces (75th-90th percentile), 24.75 inches long (50th-75th percentile), and 16 cm head (25th-50th percentile). She took her vaccinations like a champ, and made goo-goo eyes at the doctor. The doctor warned me that 5-6 months is when they get the first ear infection, so I'll be on the look-out for signs. With my ear problem history (tubes and surgery), she is more likely going to have problems too. She's babbling, sometimes screeching, and laughing up a storm. She can coordinate her hands now, and can grasp objects that aren't heavy. She then brings said objects to her mouth to gnaw on.

She can roll from side to side, and is no longer afraid to spend time on her side. Her moro reflex is all but gone now.


Likes:Baths, rolling on the floor, Winnie the Pooh snuggly, Winnie the Pooh fuzzy blanket, striped crocheted blanket made by my sister (she loves the texture and contrast), any and all Christmas lights, when people talk to her, quiet time before bed, warm bottles.

Dislikes: the pacifier (so we don't use it), having her diaper changed before eating, wind, cold weather, and loud sudden noises.
