Since Baby Kate is more of a laid back kind of babe, I guess I'm a more laid back kind of mama on these updates. Sheesh. She better not hold it against me when she's older (when they're teenagers they probably won't even care about these!) I did write the things down the last couple weeks so in fact the updates are true from when she turned 4 months. And here we are a week from 5 months. I hope that one comes quicker than this one!
At 4 months, Katelyn:
- Loves being upright - the Bumbo and the Jumperoo
- Wakes at 3 or 4am most nights to eat and then moves into bed with us. (Sometimes makes it longer)
- Still really loves her carseat
- Has not yet rolled over, but is getting closer!
- Has really found her voice! When she is happy she talks and coos, when we tickle her, she laughs quite loud! When she is distressed she sqwaks quite loud - it's her obvious way of saying feed me or put me to sleep!
- Naps 3 times per day. A solid morning and afternoon nap, and a short evening nap.
- Takes her pacifier very sporadically. I go days without giving it to her. She likes it but doesn't LOVE it or NEED it like her big sister (still does).
- Plays with her hands a lot - is always putting them together. Also plays with her toes sometimes, but more frequently hands.
- Loves baths, but not cold water. When I dipped her toes in the lake, she cried loudly!
- Wears size 2 diapers, 3-6 month onesies and clothes
- Is tall! She was 97th percentile for height and 60th for weight (14 lbs 14 oz).
- Has super chunky baby legs. So cute I want to squeeze them all the time.
- Grabs hair with her fingers (especially a certain big sister's curly locks)
- Is generally extremely happy and good-natured. She's just the sweetest little girl in the world! So content, happy, loving, and calm. I am in love with her personality and her soul.
