4 Months!

Rilynn 

so far you...

*weigh 15 lbs & are 25.6 inches long

*are about to grow out of your infant car seat...it is getting too heavy to carry you in & you fill it up in length!

*nurse sporadically every 2 - 4 hrs depending on how long you sleep during the day. You are getting about 4-6 oz at a time & take 7 oz in a bottle

*stopped middle of the night feeding (lasted 2 weeks) but still wake up pretty early for your first feeding around 5:30am...back to sleeping all night-8 hrs at a time. I would say the 4 month sleep regression is about over! Definitely went through a growth spurt though...gained a pound a week!

*really like your crib & sleep there through the night until you wake up for your first feeding..then you finish out the morning in bed with mommy =) 

*love laughing & playing with your toys

*like watching Greyson & talking to him, he loves entertaining you & you just laugh & laugh

* still hold your head up very well especially during tummy time & are sitting up. You still always have to see what's going on & don't like being left alone for very long

*are doing well entertaining yourself again...not as clingy as you were after our trip.

*are in size 2 diapers & moved up to medium size pre-folds with M/L covers...also in one size all in ones now that your newborns are packed away.

*still wearing 3-6 or 6 month clothes & 6+ month sleepers, size 1 shoes  

*are still a huge fan of bath time! You are about to grow out of the bath pod!

*had to have an ultrasound done at Children's Orthopedic Clinic to check for hip displasia. After having 2 dr's check for the signs & not being able to feel anything, we thought they would send us home, but the ultrasound showed a little abnormality in the hips! You have to wear a Pavlik Harness for 5 weeks to make sure your hips get a little tighter into the sockets...so far no hip clicks or popping out of place, but we are praying the harness works so you don't have to be in it any longer than the 5 weeks. You act like nothing has changed though & are dealing with it very well!

What we are looking forward to:

*Visitors from PA (Bickels & Coulters)

*Baby Ritchey's arrival!
