Erin's 4 month appointment was on Sept. 14th. We knew there'd be more shots, and just hoped she'd make it through that. Her weight was 12 lbs 11 oz, halfway between where Todd and I each thought she'd be. She's 24 1/4 inches tall. It was only 6 weeks from her last appointment, so it's not a bad gain on either score. She cried while getting the shots, but was fine afterwards. She's been a little bit more sleepy (slept 9-2:30, 2:50-7:15, and is napping again now at 10 am and has been since about 8:30), but fine other than that. Since she's been chewing on whatever she can get in her mouth and Todd felt something on her gum, we asked the doctor to check. Her bottom two teeth are definitely on their way in!
We'll be waiting to start on solids until 5 1/2 months. Her doctor wants us to have two weeks of cereal behind us when we come in for her 6 month appointment. I'm excited to start food, but I want her to stay a little baby, too!
Erin is rolling over really well, and is starting to figure out that she can get places by rolling. She's trying to do an army crawl, but hasn't quite figured out that she needs to move her arms. We'll probably try working on sitting with her, so that we can put her in her high chair to sit with us at dinner.
We'll be starting the ongoing process of baby proofing soon, as we think she'll probably be crawling by six months! Where did our teeny baby go?
