Our little lady is four months old! (plus a week)…Where the heck does the time really go?!
So what has Sydney (aka littles, aka peanut, aka baby girl) been up to lately?
- Loves her brother, she laughs out loud when he plays with her and she is in awe of him and wants to be just like him
- Is a very easy baby but is very needy at the same time
- She is SO happy…
- Is starting to be more and more interactive and loves play time and getting lots and lots of attention
- Loves playing ‘super littles’ (as illustrated below)
- Loves to chew on her hands or a blanket
- Just discovered her feet
- Loves to stick her tongue out
- Talks A LOT! (she’s a great story-teller!)
- Reaches out for things – pretty much anything that gets within reach
- Wears size 1 or 1-2 diapers / size 3-6 mo clothes and even some 6-9 month more for length
- Weighs in at 13lbs 7 oz – 50th percentile
- Is 24.5 inches long – 50th percentile
- she had some shots @ her 4 mo appt and she did great, was more upset by the oral one than the actual shots, she just cried at the initial poke and then as soon as I picked her up she was calm as can be! she had a bit of a fever the next day but slept it off and was just fine!
- Head circumference is 90th percentile (I’ve said it before: my kids need big noggins for all those brains!)
- Drinks about 4-6 oz 5-6 times a day – The Dr gave the all clear to start cereal within the next month or so, I think we are going to try in a few weeks
- Still not sleeping in her crib (we had a mini-breakthrough and she slept in it for a couple nights, but has resorted back to her old ‘bouncy lovin’ ways) or through the night on a consistent basis. Sometimes she will sleep from like 9-5 but that’s about as good as it gets (I am CERTAINLY NOT complaining!) Most nights she gets up at least once and sometimes, especially lately, its like 3 or 4 times a night
- Not that everyone needs to know about her bowel activity, but she is still not pooping every day on a consistent basis, longest stretch was 6 days! dr says this is fine and normal sometimes for breastfed babies and that she wasn’t concerned!
- She loves bath time
- She has the brightest bluest eyes and just stares at everything so intently
She has tiny little feet – that I could just gobble up they’re so cute. I pretty much hate feet (they’re nasty) but baby feet are too sweet! 
She is quite the ham and loves when mommy dresses her up….
Here she is with an attempted froggy buddy pic – except she has to jam EVERYTHING into her mouth!
She decided to cooperate, but notice the dress is still hiked up, she’s gearing up to jam it in her mouth for sure! 
And here she is with her friend, the pink bear (and dress still hiked up)….
…and that’s what miss Sydney has been up to! She’s such a busy little girl!
We love our littles to pieces!

awww....what a sweetie. Julia would go crazy long stretches without pooping too...I was so worried, but the doctor was not. I don't remember when, but at a certain point when she was still not going we started giving her prune juice in her cereal and that got things moving. The doc recommended it....I think we have the same doc. Sydney might not need it yet though. and as you know Julia loved sleeping in her bouncy too...swaddling helped with the transition. I really should have documented things better...I can't remember a lot of the details of when we did things. Oh well! Let's have a play date soon!!!
