Hayley Ann Mae: Four Months

How fast the months go by when watching a baby grow! Our little girl is eager to big just like her brothers, I on the other hand want to keep her this age forever. During her first month our pediatrician called her an over-achiever during a weight check and I think that is Hayley, an over achiever. She scoots herself along her blanket by pushing off with her feet, tries to get into sitting position, all at 4 months old.
She is still the happiest little baby around and we all love her dearly!!!

Stats: At her checkup Hayley weighed 15lbs 6oz (72nd percentile) and is 24.5 inches long (48th percentile). Doctor said she looks great and has been given the all clear for food whenever we want to start.

Sleep: Still sleeping through the night, hopefully I don't jinx myself by saying that. She goes to bed around 7:30pm and wakes up around 7:30am. 3 to 4 naps a day is her current schedule. Hayley will put herself to sleep at nap time but bedtime she still requires the same little spot on my shoulder to fall asleep, and I don't mind one bit. It's going to be hard giving up rocking her to sleep seeing she is the last baby I will get to do this with.

Social: She is becoming very interactive and will flash anyone who looks her way a smile. When the boys have friends over she is fascinated by watching them all play and lights up when they show her attention.

Diet: Nothing much has changed with her diet, she is still on 6oz every 3 to 4 hours.

Skills/Milestones: Hayley has started bearing weight on her legs and gets so excited to be standing on your lap. She has also started using the exersaucer and can play with a few of the toys on it. Hands down her favorite new toys though are her feet. Any chance she has to grab them, she takes it, diaper changes have become interesting because of this new found interest. She desperately wants to be in sitting position at all times and so if she is lying back on an incline, she will do crunches to pull herself up...growing too fast this girl!

Favorites: Mummy, Daddy, Chase, Asher, looooves music and being sung to, enjoys bath time, her dolly, being outside, her cheeks being kissed.
