As is the trend, our little lady is growing. In fact, she’s as tall as a 6-month-old, says our doctor. We took Maya in for her 4-month checkup last week. Here are her new stats:
Height: 25 inches
Weight: 15 lbs, 8 oz
She took her shots with about as much grace as a 4-month-old can show, which means she turned bright red and screamed as loud as she could! Poor little thing.
We’ve been having a blast with Maya lately. She’s always smiling and laughing, which makes everything so much fun for Jason and I. We love knowing she’s having a good time instead of just wondering what she thinks!
Some fun facts about our 4-month-old girl:
She still loves her baths. She’s started furiously kicking her legs when she’s in the water and gets a kick out of being able to splash herself a little. A swimmer in the making?
She’s finally taken a little bit of an interest in Bailey. She’ll at least spend a little time looking at him now when he’s near her, and she enjoys watching him when he goes crazy running circles around the yard.
Her favorite toys are her small pink rattle that she can hold and shake and the snail rattle from her exersaucer. This one gets her attention even if she’s screaming.
She loves playing airplane and sometimes will even squeal a little.
She finally takes a bottle without too many complaints.
Bedtime is 9 p.m., so dad can have some playtime when he gets home from work. She usually gets up between 7 and 8.
She still takes five or six naps a days. Staying awake much more than two hours is tough for little girls!
She’s great at grabbing things, holding things and getting almost everything she can hold into her mouth.
She can hold her head all the way up while on her tummy and actually doesn’t mind it so much anymore.
She’s starting to eye our food when we’re eating…but her doctor says to hold off on anything solid until closer to six months.
At times, she’s a babbling, laughing fool. Other times, she’s a big ol’ bucket of fuss. It’s becoming more of the former and less of the latter, which makes for a lot of fun.
She’ll happily sit in her bumbo chair for short periods of time. She has fun sitting in it on the kitchen counter, watching mom cook.
Can’t wait to see what the next month brings.
