4 Months

Can you believe Juliet is 4 months old?? Even though its going by fast, it seems as though she has always been part of our lives. Isn't neat how that happens. I remember saying the same thing about Justin. I feel like he has always been with me. I love feeling that way.

Juliet is growing by leaps and bounds. Her 4 month appointment was Tuesday. She weighed 12 lbs. 10 oz., 25 1/2 in. long, and her head measured 16 1/4 in. around. Her head is average, her weight is in the 25th percentile, but she is in the 90th percentile in height! Once again, a long lean baby! The doc is impressed with her skills and muscle tone.

Her development is jumping right along. This girl can get loud! She might be developing a smidgen of a temper too. Especially when it comes to eating, she does not like being interrupted nor does she like it when I'm too slow. She is spitting up a good bit, which is not fun. She always spits up on her freshly pressed clothes as soon as they go on. She not in pain when she spits up, so the doc said not to worry about it. Spit up is at it's peak at 4 months and should be gone by 9 months.


She's liking tummy time for 5-10 minutes. While on her tummy she holds her head up so well, looks around, and plays with toys. She's grabbing for toys now. She loves her raspberry teether the most. She grabs it the fastest. Even though the doc said there is no sign of teeth, she is drooling like crazy and she really likes her gums being rubbed. It is so funny to stick your finger in her mouth or the raspberry and she starts cooing. It's like your pressing a talk button!

She rolled over back to tummy for the first time the Friday after Easter and I missed it. She did it again that Sunday, twice. Two times and now she's not interested. She rolled from her tummy to back for me and Justin this week. She is so fast about it. You have to watch to make sure you don't miss it.

We are reading a singing a lot. Juliet still loves Brown Bear and Dr. Suess's ABCs. She gets so excited with Brown Bear and pats the book. Her eyes get so wide when I read it to her. She loves singing too. Any song with hand motions, she gets so excited about.

She's starting to show she's ticklish. She likes it when I "eat" her neck and she's ticklish on her chest right below her chin. It's so cute. She even likes it when we bounce her in the air lightly or if we hop around with her in our arms.

We have one more trip and then I should be getting back into the blogging groove.

Photo sessions are getting more difficult as you can see...
