Blog | M 4 ...
Amazingly, M is 4 months old already (I know, she is nearly 5 months old, but life is full). We went to the doctor a couple of days ago for her checkup and she is doing great! Her numbers are: 24.75″ long (at tad over 50th percentile), 13 lbs. 13 oz. (a tad under 50th percentile), and 41.3 cm head circumference (a tad under 75th percentile). She eats great, and she sleeps pretty well – she takes about 3 naps during the day (usually 2 short and 1 longish), and she usually falls asleep by 8 or 8:30 at night. We then wake her up between 10 and 11 to give her her last meal for the night (usually Jason gets his snuggles in by giving her a bottle), and then she sleeps from 11 to sometime between 4 and 5 fairly consistently (after eating she usually falls back to sleep until 6:30ish). I am still waiting for a consistent 11-7 type of thing at night, but I suppose I should be grateful for what I do have. So far she sleeps GREAT at school – yay!
Personality-wise, she is pretty laid back. She only fusses when hungry or gassy. Even being tired doesn’t seem to phase her too much – she just goes to sleep. 
She also smiles a lot, and is just starting to grab/play with things and to laugh. One thing she has been doing for quite some time now is TALK. While I have no idea what she is saying, that doesn’t seem to phase her. She can talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, and talk… She is also just about the squirmiest baby I have ever seen! We don’t mind – that all just makes her all that much more fun!
