4 Months and Getting So Big

This has to be one of my most favorite ages. The 3-6 month age. I could just eat this little L up. She is so snuggly and smiley, and sweet.

I know this post is about a month behind, but they've all been that way, so I'm just going to stop apologizing from this point on! Isn't it worth the wait? Ha!

I don't know if I just don't remember Claire doing this so early, but Lauren seems to be doing everything much fast than Claire did. She's sleeping so well, she rolled over at 4 months, she's pulling up on her knees, reaching out for toys, and holding her own bottle already!

Here are her stats:

Weight: 14.8 lb.s (yep- pretty much the top of the charts)

Height: 26.8 in. (off the charts here... she's a long one!)

Clothes: Well, we are at the very end of 3-6 months clothes. She fits in 6-9 month stuff already. Sniff. Sniff. Her feet and legs are making it tough to wear "footie" and one piece things, but we're trying!

Food: Eats 4-5 times a day (still nursing) and at the end of 4 months, we started giving her rice cereal once a day. She's not really into it much, but we're getting there!

Sleep: Usually 9:00 or 10:00- 8:30 ish am (excellent!); with 1 long morning nap, 1 short early afternoon nap, and 1 long evening nap. She's a tummy sleeper all the way!

Activity: She rolled over both ways at 4 months; she loves to laugh at her big sister, she loves kicking her feet and when you hold her up to put pressure on her feet. She also enjoys grabbing anything that is near her- toys, your hair, a spoon. All of it!

Other fun facts: Lauren is not much of a "paci" kid. She's actually more of a self-soother, which I can't complain about. She's also a snuggler. She really loves being held. Lauren is also full of life and expressions.

Sister Alert: Lauren LOVES Claire. Claire makes her laugh more than anyone else, she stares at her all the time, and she gets really "kicky" when she comes around.

Health alert: This month, we did a VCUG test on L, and unfortunately, she has kidney reflux just like big sister. We'll find out soon if her prognosis is the same as Claire's.

Since she's almost 5 months old, now, she's even bigger and more expressive, but 4 months was a lot of fun! Can you believe she' already this big? Oh my!
