4 montths old

Yeah!
We have made it to 4 months! And I truly feel like we have turned a major corner with Lindsey. She is a much, much happier baby these days.
She smiles a lot & if you really get her going she might even give you a few chuckles & giggles.

At 4 months old she is only weighing in at 12' 3", which isn't a lot of weight gain in 4 months, considering she was born weighing 9' 3". The doctor wants to see her back in a month, as opposed to 2 months from now, to make sure she is still gaining weight, as she also has dropped a bit in the weight percentile.
She is long & lanky and has the longest & skinniest arms and legs, which I guess could be a good thing considering she's a girl, now I only wish her Mama was the same!
I am just used to my boys, who both were chunkers and had many kissable fat rolls by her age.

Although her skinny-ness doesn't seem to bother her, she is taking her bottles like a champ & I have even managed to ween her off her Acid Reflux medicine. I am relieved that the dropping her medicine hasn't seemed to affect her eating & disposition so hopefully that concern is behind us.

We are now working on rolling over from back to front and she is almost there, but can't quite get her head to go with her little body. I was hoping to start her on cereal soon, but with her weight concerns her doctor said to hold off on starting it till about 6 months, as he doesn't want her belly to fill up on cereal & then she refuses her bottles. I am little bummed, as I am ready always ready to start that next phase, but I must be patient & stop wishing for her to grow up. With that in mind, we truly are enjoying her everyday & just love her to bits!
