4 Months



4 Months Old.
Here are some things going on in Dylan's life...

• She is weighing in at just about 12 pounds now, which means she is finally starting to grow out of her 0-3 month clothes.
• She has graduated to size 2 diapers.
• Night time has had a little progress...but progress for her means that she is now doing a maximum stretch of 5 hours, but usually more like 4.  She sleeps for 4-5 hours to start off the night, then eats, and sleeps again, and up every two after that.
• Nap times during the day are 30 minute-ish cat-naps all day long. Once a week, or so, she might surprise us and take a long two hour nap.
• She is talking and squealing and laughing a lot!  Her fussy periods have seemed to go away. (3 months and 10 lbs really is magic in that aspect!)  Most of the time she is nothing but smiles when someone is paying attention to her (unless she is tired or hungry).
• She is loving sitting in the excersaucer (she has been holding her head up very well from early on).
• Recently, she has been grabbing at toys, especially the ones on the excersaucer, and chewing on her blankets or hands.
• She rolls over from front to back very easily and likes playing on her tummy.
• She still loves baths, and we try to give her one every night as part of her bedtime routine.
• Our nanny, Paula, watches Dylan while we are at work and the kids are at school.  She does great for Paula, who is one of the best nannys you could ask for!
