Today my sweet girl is four months old!! She's one third of the way through the first year. She went to the doctor on Monday for her check up. She weighed 13 lb. 10 oz. (between 25th - 50th percentile) and was 25.5 inches long (90th percentile). Her head was 15.75 inches (50th percentile). She's one long and lean little girl. She's still wearing a size one diaper but I think she'll be moving up soon! Her clothing size is all over the place depending on brand. She does wear mostly 3 month though. She's still eating between 4-6 oz. at each feeding. The doctor gave us the go ahead to start rice cereal and other baby food but we have elected to wait. Babies should start food between 4 and 6 months. The benefits to waiting include a smaller chance for food allergies and childhood obesity. We probably won't wait until 6 months, maybe just another month or so. We are looking forward to starting her on food though!! She smiles, coos and laughs all the time. She LOVES seeing her daddy when he gets home each day!! She's a daddy's girl for sure. She is so laid back and only gets upset when she's very hungry. She still sleeps through the night a lot of nights, but lately she has been getting up once for a little bottle and a diaper change. She's been putting EVERYTHING in her mouth - including her feet!!
Happy four months Caroline!!! I love you more than you can ever know. I think that I love you more than any mother has ever loved their child. Everyday is my new favorite day with you. You have the sweetest personality and the most adorable smile. I am so blessed to be your mother and to be able to spend so much time with you. I love you very much baby girl!!!
