Kira is now 4 months old. She had her 4-month well visit. She gained almost a pound this last month. Not quite what they wanted to see, but definitely better than the 7oz she gained the previous month. So she now weighs 11lbs 6oz, which was 9th percentile. Her brother was 5lbs more than her at 4 months...yikes! She is 24 inches, which was 42% and her head circumference was 15 inches which is 26%. Overall, she is a petite little thing. The good news is that we don't have to do further testing. Her liver enzymes had improved and because she gained a bit of weight the pediatrician was happy.
This month Kira learned to roll from tummy to back. She grabs things and tries to put things in her mouth. Kira is better at the bottle now and even tries to feed herself at times. She is now looking around and following moving her head to follow things like the dog. Kira now likes to hang out in the exersaucer for short periods of time. The bad thing about this month is sleep. Somehow she forgot how its done. I never believed in the four month sleep regression that I had heard other mothers talk about, but now I fully believe. Prior to this she was waking up 1-2 times a night and would take at least one 5 hour stretch a night....this is not the case any longer. I am hoping that it is a small bump in the road because now that I am at work again, I feel like I am burning the candle at both ends and it is not so fun!
