I can’t believe my baby is already 4 months old. Her stats today… 15lb 3oz ( 85th %) 24 1/2 ” ( 50th %) and head was 16 ( 65% I think). I always wonder about the percentiles, cause I don’t think she looks out of proportion. The doctor picked her up to move her from her back to her tummy during the exam and commented how solid she is compared to how she looks. There was another baby in the office with the same birthday who was sooo much smaller in body and bigger in head. Oh well. I think Annie is perfect as she is.
She is getting so much more active now. About a day after I posted about her almost rolling over she successfully flipped herself over.now she is quite the pro at it. This means she will no longer stay on her back. She has always hated it and now she figures she can do something about it. Makes for some more restless nights for mom checking to make sure she is breathing, but I figure we will do that until she is 30. seriously… when do you stop that. I have to check everytime she gets too quiet, especially in the car. I guess all the news articles about babies dying sleeping in their carseats got to me.
We also did shots today. I think shots are to torture mommy. I can’t stand to have this baby cry. Bad as they were at the time, it was worse when we got home. She went to lay down for her nap and rolled onto her side and hence the spot on her leg where she got the shots. This brought on sudden intense wailing. I felt soooo bad. Lots of extra cuddles for Miss Annie ensued.
In the afternoon we have taken to sitting on the deck after the sun moves off and we have nice shade and a cool breeze. She loves to watch the wind in the trees. We talk about trees and grass and clouds and sky. I will miss those moments when the weather turns too much colder. She is also now really watching the dogs and cats. She will attempt to touch the cats, but not the dogs yet. She likes to sit in her exersaucer because then she is eye to eye with them and with me as I sit on the floor next to her. I want to know who comes up with the music for those things. Very annoying . I think even Annie gets tired of it.
No new pictures today cause I forgot the cable to upload from my camera. I will post more of them soon though.
