Dear Hannah,
You are four months old today! This has, by far, been our favorite month with you. Your personality has really started to shine.
You love to stand! We hold your hands and you either push up on our legs or on the floor to the standing position.
You have started "talking" and you babble all the time. You are most talkative when you're on your changing table. You have so much to say! You also like to talk when you wake up in the mornings. You lie in your crib and just babble away. It's so cute! Speaking of sleep, you are now sleeping in your big girl crib! The bassinet has been retired until the next baby comes along. Mommy was a little sad. You are growing up so quickly. You smile all the time and it melts our hearts!
You rolled over (tummy to back) for the first time on January 20th. Uncle Bill, Aunt Tiff, Grandmommy and Max were in town for Mommy's birthday and all saw you! We were so proud! Daddy walked in the door less than 5 minutes later. You still haven't shown him your new trick, but we're working on it!
You are a growing girl. Grandmommy and I took you to your 4 month appointment on January 31st. You weighed in at 16lbs and were 24.5 inches long. You are still 100% breast fed. You are gaining sufficient weight (clearly!), so the pediatrician recommended we hold off on introducing solids to you until 6 months. You are eating an average of 5 times a day. We still have you on 3-4 hour schedule, although, you are slowly transitioning to a 4 hour schedule. You are completely sleeping through our night (YAY!). You usually wake up between 5-7am for your first feeding of the day.
You are really drooling now and putting everything into your mouth. The pediatrician checked your gums and they are puffy and swollen. She said you should start teething within the next month.
Hannah Kathryn, every day is an adventure with you. You are making new discoveries each and every day. Daddy and I love you so much!
