4 Months Old

Mailey turned 4 months old yesterday! The stats say it all...

Height:25.2" 95%
Weight:14.12 lbs 80% (she had her clothes on, though)
Head:16.3 80% (why do they do head??)

So she is a big girl! Reference...Makenna was 16.9 lbs at age one. wow.

Here are some things she has been doing lately:
-takes forever to fall asleep at naptime because she constantly flips onto her stomach and gets very frustrated.
-squeezes her stomach muscles when we are holding her so she can sit up in our laps.
-has had fever for the first time with a cold...and man, she was not happy about that! No easy-going when sick Tracen baby here.
-takes her pacifier out all the time and stares at it.
-pulls her bows out of her bow band.
-grabs the bugs on her bug chair and rips them off their velcro.
-has decided to sleep from 10-5 instead of 10-7.
-loves to squish her face into my arm while she sleeps.
-smiles alllll the time and squeals to get our attention.
-notices when I hand her off to someone else or when I leave the room.
-sucks her thumb a lot, even around the pacifier.
-likes to watch Baby Einstein videos...and football.
-plays with her feet.

-loves to stand up.
-tries to launch herself out of the bathtub by pushing her bottom up in the air.
-ate cereal for the first time and did great!
-has decided to eat for only 5 minutes and then it is play time. then she's hungry in an hour. thus the trying cereal for the first time thing.
-freaks out if it is windy outside.
-spits up if you burp her or move her at all after a feeding, or if you sit her in the Bumbo.
-sleeps with her hand covering her eyes.
Here are some pictures of her first time with cereal.
