4 Months Old!

Our little burrito!

Getting ready for bed with daddy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (I'm Irish today only, purely for the cute outfit!)

Smiling for the camera!

Meeting Jack for the first time... they couldn't figure each other out!

Mom, why aren't you helping me sit up?

Finally, tummy time has become productive!

My exersaucer is still my favorite toy!

Where does the time go? Taylor turned 4 months old on Wednesday, March 24th! We had her 4 month checkup yesterday, and here are her stats:

Height: 24.8 inches (71%)
Weight: 15lb 8oz (88%)
Head Circumference: 41.9cm (77%)

She is completely healthy! The flat spot on her head on the left side has rounded out, and she has excellent head control. Our doctor gave us the green light to start sleep training her, which we started last night. It went great! We put her down at 7pm, and it took 11 minutes initially to cry herself to sleep. She woke up at 7:30, and it took 6 minutes to cry herself to sleep. She woke up again at 10:30 and it took 12 minutes. Then, we didn't hear a peep from her until 5:15am! She woke at that point, and I fed her, and she is still sleeping (it's 8:10am!). Our first night was very successful, but she also had her immunizations so we are prepared for a tougher night tonight!

She has been SUPER smiley lately, and has been "talking" like crazy! She is a very social baby and will smile at anyone. She will try to mimic your facial expressions, and has laughed and squealed with delight a lot lately too! She drools a lot, and chews on anything that goes near her mouth, which makes us wonder if she's begun teething. She also can reach for objects and hold them in her hand - her favorite is mommy's hair! Ouch! She still loves her exersaucer - she could spend 45 minutes in it sometimes! We are going to set up the Jumperoo this weekend because we think she'll enjoy that just as much! Her tummy time has become much more productive - she can lift her chest up off of the ground, and she is SO close to rolling over!

Tomorrow, we are going to start her on solids! Our doctor said she seems ready for rice cereal. We will try and get some pictures and post them soon!
