Stella's 4 Months Old! 9/1/13

4 months went by extremely fast.  Here are her Stella's stats for 4 months compared to birth and 2 months.

weight: 15lbs 10oz -87th percentile
height: 25 1/4 inches - 83rd percentile
head circumference: 16 1/4 inches - 58th percentile

Compared to 2 month well baby stats:

weight: 12 lbs 10oz - 90th percentile
height: 23 1/2 inches - 87th percentile
head circumference: 15 inches - 33rd percentile

And compared to birth:

weight: 7lbs 6oz
height: 21 inches
head circumference - 33cm (which is about 13 inches)

So, she more than doubled her birth weight in 4 months, which is quite impressive.  (not as impressive with Hunter who was 6lbs 4oz at birth and 20lbs at 4 months) Her well baby check up went great.  Thankfully she did not have a reaction to her vaccines this time.  We did them all, except for the Rototech, at her appointment and then went back a week later for the last one.  She's meeting all the milestones for this age.

She can grab her toys and reaches out for them.  She is starting to blow raspberries, over and over.  And she scoots across the floor on her back like a maniac.  She pushes with her feet and slides across the floor backwards.  

She is nursing about every 3 hours, goes to bed between 8 and 9, and wakes up once around 4 or 5am to nurse.  Then sleeps until 8.  

The doctor said to wait until 6 months for solids.

She still has yet to roll over, but has been trying.

Here are some (not so flattering, yet funny) pictures on the day she turned 4 months.

Oh, and she finally likes tummy time!
