4 Months Old- Check up and FIRST Food!

Dr. Hostetter said everything looked great at her 4 month appointment!  She is still having issues with reflux and is certainly going through a sleep regression, but other than that she is perfect.  She has a big ole noggin! 

Weight: 13lbs 14oz   (48%)
Head: 16.5 inches    (14 %)
Length: 23.5 inches   (84 %)

We got the go ahead to try solid foods at this appointment so we stopped by the store and got some organic carrots on the way home.  Finley got a teaspoon down and made some hysterical faces in the process!  

Although she seems to like the taste, she still pushed a lot back out with her tongue.  We also tried oatmeal cereal, but she did not have bowel movement for almost a week after that.  Ugh!  We backed off on solids and will try to introduce them close to 6 months:)  The purpose right now is just for her to try some different flavors and textures anyhow! 

I love to: 
  • Be pushed around the house in the stroller, especially when I am fussy.  This is a very fussy stage- not sleeping well at all and having reflux still.  
  • Playing bouncy with Daddy when he picks me up and down in the air. 
  • Have Emily read to me before bedtime.  

I can: 
  • Hold my head up much better while being supported while sitting and being carried.  
  • Grab toys
  • Pull my burp cloth over my face, but I don't remove it.  It is too funny to have my face covered. 
My favorites:
  • Bath time
  • Going for walks inside and outside in my stroller. 
  • Putting everything in my mouth. 
  • Sleeping on Mama and Daddy.  I do not sleep well at night and I am up constantly wanting to nurse back to sleep.
