4 Months!!!

My little Leila is already 4 months old!  We had her doctor's appointment this week and here are her stats:

Head: 16 inches (54.45 percentile)
Weight: 11.73 pounds (7.35 percentile)
Length: 23.75 inches (23.15 percentile)

She is still a small little girl and I'm okay with that. She still fits into most of her newborn clothes and has the daintiest little features.

At 4 months you are laughing, making high pitched squeals, chuckling, making sounds when looking at toys and people, and blowing raspberries.  You were close to rolling over about a month ago, but seem to have decided it is beneath you and won't try most days now.  But you do have excellent control of your head.  You have recently been exploring more with your hands and feet.  You like to grab onto whatever is near you (clothes, blankets, hair, etc).  You like to grab onto blankets and pull them up to your face.  Anything within reach also goes straight into your mouth.     You sit up well with assistance and have taken to standing up (with help) whenever you can.

You can sleep through the night, but you get into patterns of waking mid-night still.  During these times you aren't hungry, just playful.  And when mommy has to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, 2am playtimes just don't cut it!  You have been doing better since we took you to the doctor though.  Those immunizations just knock you out!

I am amazed at how fast time is flying by and am trying to soak up every moment I can with you!
