Anna's Stats at 4 Months:
Height = 25 inches; 75th percentile
Weight= 15 lbs, 2 oz; 85th percentile (down from the >97th percentile at her 2 month check-up)
Head Circumference= 41cm; 50th percentile
Sleeping information:
-She is developing a more regular sleep/awake cycle during the day. Naps and eating are more predictable.
-She is regularly sleeping 11 to 12 hours straight at night, Wooh-hooh! At her 4 month check-up, the doctor was suprised by this, and told her that she could still be getting up 1 or 2 times a night, if she wanted.
-Most of the hair on Anna's head is approaching 3 inches long, except for the 2 inch nearly bald spot on the back of her head. Proof that she is sleeping on her back, per the pediatrician's recommendation.
Other information:
-She has rolled from back to front (approx 3 times over a 3 week period), and more recently from front to back (2 times). These have not been repeated often, so could have been an accident :)
-Bibs have now become a regular part of Anna's outfits, due to increased drooling.
-She has her first ear infection, and has been a bit more vocal and emotional because of it.
-She is trying to grasp at different objects, and noticing more things in general (such as taking time to look at and evaluate my scarves)
-She has developed the fine motor skills necessary to grab and hold onto my hair!
-She is now laughing and squealing when you pretend to eat her sides and tummy, and also when you kiss her cheeks.
-Whenever she is starting to get tired or is relaxing, she has a new "go to" position... two fingers in mouth, one hand over eyes/nose area...
Anna was a pea pod for Halloween :)
A few photos of Anna's Eldon visit...
A photo with the tripod on Roger & Caryl's visit to Columbia... we had a really pretty 70 degree week-end right before the temperature dropped.
And the grand finale...
