4 Month-ness

Yesterday Brooklyn was four months old. We have had a few days of changes with her right around this 4 month mark that have been fun, trying, and kind of hilarious in some ways.

The "fun" came when the DR said we could try rice cereal...she was pretty messy. We tried it last night and we laughed pretty hard! The video is a little to big to upload. More fun was when Matt put together the exersaucer/bouncy thing. She did pretty good in it for the first time yesterday. I think I took a picture of that too...

The "trying" has been her little chompers that have chosen to come through. We have two little teeth that are coming through on the bottom and little girl is not happy about it. She didn't fuss at all while her gums were red, but now that they are breaking through...not happy! Don't worry, her daddy is giving her extra love - as if that was even a question! :) Matt's a softy. Can you see the chompers?



"Hilarious" has been her behavior in her crib. She started rolling over to her side about a month ago while we were on vacation - she was in a pack in play so there were no bumpers and she could easily roll over. Well, when we got back home her legs would hit the bumpers and she would go back to her back and she didn't really care, she would just end up somehow at the bottom of the bed every morning so I guess she was scooting down. Well, while I was at home last weekend she went all over my mom's crib. She has very thin bumpers so she was able to turn over on her side and start traveling. She pretty much does a 180 during the night on her side. It is hilarious. So, when we got home we took out her side bumpers to let her go! Matt and I watch it before we go to bed and I usually wake up at least once in the night to see where she is in her journey. Regardless of what she does while she's asleep, I always greet a smiling little girl in the morning, which is a treat!
At four months Brooklyn does the following:
- eats 4 bottles a day between 6 and 7 oz
- loves her bath time
-giggles at mom and dad being silly - loves to be tickled
- sleeps great at night and takes 2-3 naps a day
- loves the activity mat still
- loves the swing - we use it as a sleep aide when needed!
- hasn't been in the pool yet, maybe later this summer
- she has traveled to Nashville a few times, Dothan, the beach, the lake - travels well!
- has two teeth
- she is such a joy and hasn't been fussy except for the teeth coming in
- she weighs 16 pounds and 3 oz (90th percentile)
- she is 27 inches long (95th percentile)
