• Four Months

  

  Layla is four months old.  

  

  In fact, soon to be five months old.  (although these initial pictures were taken right at 4 months) 

  

  When I took her to the doctor at 4 1/2 months, she was:

  18 lbs 1 oz (up 6 lbs from her two month check-up) and in the 97th percentile for her weight

  26 1/2 inches long (up 4 inches from her two month check-up) and in the 95th percentile for her height.

  Lil’ girlfrien’s a big girl.  This post could alternately be titled, “My Daughter, the Hoss.”  :)

  She is:

  -rolling to her side from her back.  

  -laughing spontaneously at things she sees or noises the boys make

  -sometimes sucking on her thumb or forefinger, but just kind of sporadically

  

  she’s just INCREDIBLY CUTE when she does.

  -jumping up and down in her johnny-jump-up thing that hangs over the door frame

  -drooling A LOT

  -cooing and blowing spit bubbles

  -in 6 to 9 month clothes at 4 1/2 months and in size 4 diapers

  -she still has the birthmark/stork mark at the nape of her neck, and she has a similar mark where they suctioned her out when she was born, where the blood vessels have stayed close to the surface.  

  

  -she loves to have things to play with, bat at, feel, etc.

  -this month, she has been somewhat of a mess sleepwise.  She’s making up for all the sleeping she did when she was born.  She will take a morning and afternoon nap, and then fall asleep around 9 PM, nap about 15 minutes, and wake up and STAY UP until I go to bed.  Frown.  She has done this for weeks now, which has totally taken out my blogging opportunities.  The past few days she has done a little better.  A little. 

  

  I love her dearly madly deeply do.
