one week early!! at some point we will get on the right track, i hope!
but a week early or a week late...it was a great check-up either way. Our beautiful girl weighs 14lbs and she measured in at 25 inches. she is at the 81st% for her height and the 65th% for her weight. and to me, that sounds perfect, not to big but not to small!! unfortuntely she did need two shots and an oral vaccination, but i was very thankful that her behaviors the remainder of the day were much more characteristic of herself, unlike her last round of shots! she cried a lot harder this time and her cry lasted a bit longer...but i can handle that a lot easier than i can handle my baby not acting like herself! one dose of tylenol a few hours later and she was good to go for the rest of the day!
and i have to say, as the weeks go on Sicilya just amazes me more and more. i am incredibly grateful to have a baby who at almost 4 months old has decided to sleep through the night! and i dont just mean from my bedtime until the time i need to get up, i mean from the boys bedtime until the boys wake up! she is generally in bed and sleeping no later than 9pm and lately, she has been sleeping until 630-7am! some mornings i wake her up to feed her before i go to work, but that is more so for my own personal convenience. and when i do, she will then sleep until nearly 9am! frank will then give her a bowl of cereal and that usually holds her over until i get home to nurse her again! what can i say, she is an amazing baby!!
we've set up her jumperoo and exersaucer this week, both of which she seems to love. her head still gets a little bobbley at times, so we have to sit with her while she is in either one, but its just amazing to see the look on her face as she finds all the new discoveries around her! she loves being talked to lately, patty-cake makes her smile every time (she likes to roll it and roll it as fast as she can!) her belly and neck are both becoming tickle-ish enough to get a giggle out of her! and the doctor said as soon as we start feeding her cereal twice per day, give it 2 weeks and we can introduce her first orange vegetable! im certainly in no hurry for her to grow up, but i do look forward to watching her enjoyment as she is introduced to new foods! she sure does seem interested in things now that she has her own place at the kitchen table!! if only they didnt have to grow up so quickly...
