Amelia's appointment was just a tad late due to our St. George trip:
She is
12 lbs 8 oz (22%)
25.0 in (76%)
head cir- 15.9 in (35%)
so still following that tall-and-skinny trend.
it's so so so crazy to me to compare her with pictures of when she was 2 weeks old.
you really just don't notice how fast time flies.
4 months, really!?
heart and lungs and bowels still great.
and stranger anxiety has kicked in full gear.
at 2 months, this little lady was flirting shamelessly with Dr. Blackburn.
now she's glaring, screaming, stammering...
her dad isn't complaining though...
Her doc also said she is pretty much a 6 month old, developmentally:
rolling over, both ways
sitting up without support
grabbing at things (and throwing them away)
turns towards voices
jabbering like crazy
lunging forward
she is also starting to display some 9 month milestones as well:
scooting/shuffling on tummy
combining back and front mouth syllables
(we've got a talker, and she didn't get it from her dad)
Doc suggests:
continuing with breastfeeding until 6 months (hallelujah!)
finding a week and letting her cry it out in her crib aka not letting her cuddle between us whenever she cries at night (oops, my bad)
babyproofing our house (good thing that was mostly done for us)
stimulating her more (haha just a joke)
and with a "good luck raising your child prodigy," he was on his way out!
she also got her booster shots.
that high pitched screaming I've only heard once before (2 month shots)
was heartwrenching.
good thing she is easily distracted by the cute cute girl in the mirror.
and falls asleep easily:
love you Amelia Ray
whereever you are in life, your dad and I will always be your biggest fans;
we adore that toothless grin of yours.
