Four Months Old

Hi Everyone! Its Olivia’s Mummy. Olivia is a bit tired from today’s doctor appointment, so I thought I’d update everyone.

She turned 4 months old yesterday. Russ and I cannot believe its been 4 months already. She’s growing and changing every week it seems. She’s growing into her own little personality too. She definitely is like me when she’s hungry. Very cranky until she gets what she wants.

Here is what she’s been up to lately:

• She’s been eating rice cereal once a day *not much, just getting used to eating solids*
• She can reach and grab for things *She likes her keys and teething rattle*
• She can roll BOTH ways now
• She giggled
• She likes Spongebob Squarepants
• She likes her friend ‘Hippo’ at bath time

She had her 4 moth well visit today with her pedi. He says she’s looking healthy and developing normally. GO OK! She’s weighing in at 17 pounds and is 25.5 inches long. Her head is 42.2 cms. 87th percentile for both weight and height. 72nd percentile for head circum. He said we can start feeding her stage 1 foods at 5 months and to keep up with the rice cereal to get her used to eating with a spoon. She also got another round of vaccinations, like her 2 month visit. She wasnt happy about it, but she did better. She’s got her little Garfield bandaids on her little thighs.

She’s been a little cranky since then, but she’s doing much better. She’s taking a snooze in her chair right now. She’ll be back soon to write a new post.
