4 Months Old!

McKenna had her 4 month check up today and is doing GREAT!

These posts are mainly for bragging and journaling about her development :)

Weight 13.3 lbs. -50th percentile (2 pound increase)

Length- 25 in. -90th percentile (1.5 inch increase)

Head Circ.- 16.4 in. -75th percentile (.5 inch increase)

2 shots- cried for maybe 30 seconds. Even though the rest of the day hasn't been too pleasant, Tylenol has helped some...

Here's her cute zoomed-in face! X5 :)

Happy girl!

Skills:

• Loves to touch the books I read to her. Even if it is to try to eat them, this makes mommy SO happy! As a teacher, I can't wait for her to show even MORE interest in books!
• I put her to bed wide awake and she can put herself to sleep with relatively little fussing!
• Speaking of sleep- she usually sleeps from 9:30pm-2:30am and then 3-8am (during her BEST nights). Dan is wonderful at rocking her back to sleep if I don't think it's time to feed her yet. :) He's an AMAZING DAD!
• She loves to put weight on her legs for "long" periods of time.
• When she sits in our laps she does not want to relax and recline anymore. She uses her tummy muscles to sit herself up and look at the world around her.
• She's shown quite a love for music already. I have a hard time nursing her while watching Music and the Spoken Word because she wants to look around and see where that music is coming from. When I sing her to sleep at night she coos right along.
• She seems to be learning how to fake cry to get attention (which isn't necessarily a good thing).
• She gets distracted by the camera which makes it hard to capture her cuteness!
• She's using her hands so much now, batting and grabbing. Everything she grabs goes straight to her mouth.

Here's a video of her playing!

Here's McKenna making the same faces daddy's making. When he smiled, she smiled. When he was serious, she was serious. Funny girl!
