Ramona: 4 months!


Our sweet babe is 4 months old! How did this happen?!


Growth: 13.7 lbs & 26in.

35% for weight
97% for height (!)
Dr says she's healthy!


Likes:

Hearing me say " Mama" & "Dada"
Watching the dogs fetch.
Gasping at toys or my hair while she nurses.
Laying on her changing table.
Momma




Dislikes:

Tummy time after a few minutes.
Evenings.
Strangers.






Eating:

She eats every three hours during the day when she wakes up from her naps.
She gets formula every few days but is
mostly breastfed



Sleeping:

Still sleeping though the night!
Naps are hit & miss.
Sometimes they're 30 min sometimes 2 hours!





Firsts:

First time in a high chair!
First time rolling over from back to tummy!
First giggles. 
Dedicated @ church Sunday!
Meeting Emmett (my best friend's 3 week old!)
Falling off the couch.
(She is OK :-))



Health:

We bathe her every 4 days.
She had 3 shots @ her 4 month appointment.
We think she's teething (very slowly)
She has yet to catch a cold!
(Go breast milk!)


Playing:

Loves toys with bells & loves rattles.
Is completely content playing on a quilt while watching me in the kitchen for up to a half hour without fussing.
Is getting the hang of her bouncer.
Puts everything in her mouth!
Loves laying under the tree & staring at any kind of lights.
Loves to hear me sing.





Looking forward to:

Baby lead feeding.
Sitting up. ( our next big milestone) she's getting so good @ holding herself up in that position.
Cooking for her & seeing her in a high chair in the kitchen.
