Anya: 4 Months

And she's 4 months old now. It seems like just yesterday I was puking my guts out all the day long....

4-month checkup means new stats!:

Weight: 13.6 lbs - 50th percentile
Height: 25 inches - 79th percentile (she's getting tall!!)
Head: 16.1 inches - 53rd percentile

So yeah, she's getting less short and fat :) Getting long and lean! Just the way we seem to grow them (until they're my age, in which case, they may get long and fat lol :)

Anyway, she is getting SO CUTE!!

-She is such a smiley girl. Loves to just be paid attention to!! She loves being thrown up and down, and being tickled.

-She is starting to feel better. No dairy really does work on her!!! I have discovered a good ice cream alternative (Coconut Bliss--made with coconut milk instead) and vegan cream cheese is not bad!! Harmon's has risen on my best grocery store list (they are the only ones besides the granola supermarkets that have weird stuff like fake dairy lol)...although I still do most shopping at the cheapest: Walmart.

-I can definitely predict what she needs now--eat, sleep, burp! We've I almost gotten it down to a science (I say this because at the current moment she is not wanting to go to bed--don't think she's feeling that great unfortunately).

-No rolling yet! Which is good. I still lay her down on the countertop and one the kitchen table from time to time. My mother-in-law keeps telling me "yeah, she doesn't roll yet, but there's a first time for everything and it's best if she's not on a table!" Yeah yeah..... Claire's very familiar with the ER...Anya will just follow her lead, right? JK

-And we've tried rice cereal on her. She hates it. So did Claire. We'll keep trying I guess.

-Still wakes up to feed at night! Maybe one day she'll sleep. Then teething will start. I think I may not get a good night's sleep til the kids are in high school...

-She is STILL sick. Both of my girls have runny noses and coughs STILL. All winter long. I can't wait til it's spring, because maybe then the cold/cough will end. Poor thing!

OK, that's it. She's great. We just love her!!
