4 Months Old!

My sweet angel is four months old! My how the time flies! She is at such a fun age. Her personality is coming out more and more each day. She does something new just about everyday. It is so much fun to see what each day has in store with Ashyln.

Today we went to the doctor for her four month appointment. Ashlyn now weighs 12.9 pounds. She is on the skinny side. She is only in the 25 % now for weight. The doctor said that she is not underweight, just a skinny girl. She is now 24.5 inches. She is in the 50% for height. It is somewhat hard to dress her because things that are long enough for her are generally too big in the waist. Since they don't make belts for babies, it is difficult to find clothes that fit! The doctor said she looks great. She is hitting all of the milestones for her age. I just love her doctor! As I have mentioned before he is the same pediatrician that I saw as a child. Every time we see him he never seems to be in a rush. He usually spends twenty to thirty minutes talking with me. He always want to know any concerns I have. He is so good at discussing and explaining things in laymen terms. Today he also gave me some tips to get her to sleep through the night. I am definitely going to try them. She got four shots! As usual it was horrible to watch. She was smiling right before they stuck her and then she was screaming bloody murder. It was over quick and I held her and she was just fine again.

At four months Ashlyn is able to do a lot more. She loves to laugh and smile. She laughs really hard when you give her kisses on her stomach. It is really the cutest thing in the world! She is able to stand on her legs when you hold her up. She can roll over from her back to stomach. She holds her head really steady. She coos and "talks" like crazy! She bats at her toys and also holds them in her hands. She loves to watch anything that moves. The only thing she is not doing is sleeping through the night which I think may be partly her Mommy's fault.
