4 Months Old.

Loralye turned 4 months old on Saturday which meant going to the doctor's for a well check up! She now weighs 14lbs 8oz (75-90%), is 25 1/2 inches long (90-95%), and her head is 41 1/2 cm (50-75%). I'm not sure why the percentiles are so varied... She also got another round of vaccinations which she was not happy about, but we gave her Baby Tylenol right after and that immediately calmed her down (She likes the cherry taste!). I gave her Tylenol once more before bed about 6 hours later and she was her normal happy self all weekend! It was a lovely change from the last time she was vaccinated! We also decided that we won't be starting her on any solid foods until she is 6 months old. Our pediatrician said that babies that are exclusively breastfed would benefit from not starting solid foods until they're 6 months old. And I'm not going to argue about not having to buy baby food for another couple of months! As long as she seems satisfied after every feeding we will be putting off rice cereal until July.

Baby girl is doing so many new things every day! She is so good at reaching for the exact thing she wants and bringing it to her mouth! She has found her feet a couple of times in the last week, but does not seem overly interested yet. She likes to talk to people all day long now. Well, people and walls and her toys and the ceiling. She just likes to talk! She is still smiling a lot, but is not a big laugher yet. We're working on it! And we're also working on getting her to roll over. With us being at work until 4:30 every day, she doesn't get a lot of tummy time, but she is getting very strong nonetheless. Anywho, here are a couple pictures from the last week!

This was Loralye's third time at the piano, but this was the first time that she started pressing down keys herself! So fun! After 16 years of playing, I'm finally going to teach! Although I think she'd rather eat the keys then press them down :)

It takes two of her tiny fingers to press down a key!
