Maddie-4 Months



Maddie, or Mo as I started calling her because her hair is coming in like a mohawk, is four months old today. One-third of a year. Seems to be going fast. I think I say this every month. :) She had her wellness visit today. She is doing fine. Her weight is 17lbs. 6 oz. (93%) and she is 26 1/2 inches long (100%). Not a surprise that she's a big baby. I recently moved her to 6-9 month clothing. Overall she is doing very good. Still eating every 4-5 hours and naps after being up for 2-3 hours. She has gotten very used to sleeping with Mommy and so doesn't sleep very well or long for naps in a bed. We are going to really start working on that. She also is still getting up every 2 hours at night. Dr. Harris asked how she was eating at night and she does eat like she's hungry. She suggested feeding her more often during the day, but I tried that and she spits up a lot; just too full. So she feels that Maddie really is hungry at night and I can continue the feedings. She said it was up to me, but it is fine to start feeding her cereal and see if that helps. I know it didn't do anything for Nate when we started adding cereal to his bottle. But I'm not opposed to the idea and it is something to consider. Other than that everything is going well. She is usually very content, likes to smile, and is entertained by bubby a lot...when he's not stomping on her or gouging out her eyes.
