Update on Dylan's 4 Month Stats...

So I took Lady D to the doctor on Wednesday for her 4 month check up and she's just as chubby as I predicted she would be!  She's 25.5 inches and 15.5 pounds....both 90th percentile.  Compared to the boys at this age, she's right in the middle.  But luckily her growth means that her body is catching up with her head, which is only 75th percentile.  I was so worried that she'd have a huge noggin forever.  Now she just has a sweet round face and deliciously enormous, rosy cheeks.  I love them!  My newest nickname for her is Sweet Cheeks! 

In terms of her motor skills, the doc isn't worried about her but said that she's having a harder time rolling over because she's so big...and spoiled!  Basically we need to put her down and let her explore so she can become more independent and start moving more.  I guess we need to let her cry instead of picking her up at every whimper.  Ugh!  I hate hearing her cry.  But I know I have to let her do her own thing so I have to get tough!  The doc also said she needs to be out of the cradle and in her crib stat.  So we started that today and she's been awesome!  Instead of slowly transitioning her we just went cold turkey.  The first nap was a little rough but each nap got easier and easier.  And tonight when I put her to bed she went right to sleep without a fuss. Let's hope she sleeps all night!

But besides the rolling, she's right on track with everything else.  She's smiles and giggles all the time and she's starting to recognize familiar faces.  And she talks and coos constantly now...its adorable.  Oh and she burps and farts like a dude - not so adorable!  She's also starting to play with toys a little bit - and when I say play, I mean grab and put in her mouth.  Pretty much everything goes in her mouth which is to be expected.  She has such a little personality now and I just love spending time with her.  I take her everywhere and she's such an easy and sweet baby.  She's really only crabby between the hours of 5:30 - 7:00 pm, her witching hour!  And man, is she crabby!  She will cry the entire 90 minutes if we aren't holding her.That's when I get to hand her over to daddy for some father-daughter bonding.  Here are some pictures I took of the little miss this week...


"Hangin" with Dad!  She loves to be in the Bjorn!  I take her everywhere in it....




QT with her Mimi!  She has little leg warmers on but her legs are so chunky, they barely fit her...


 
 
Me and my girl...




Her first night in her crib! She didn't even fuss and has been sleeping soundly since I put her down.  I am so proud of her...
