Sweet Reese is 1/3 of a year old! It is so hard to believe! She is definitely out of the newborn/young baby look :(. Reese is showing us more and more of her personality each week! She is starting to giggle more and has become WAY more interested in what is going on around her. She loves her sister and looks for her whenever she hears her. She is still very much a mommys girl and can get pretty worked up if she is too tired. We often call her my lil koala bear b/c she just loves to snuggle with me! I love it, but I know Clay is dying for more relaxed snuggle time with her.
Reese had her 4 month appointment and the Dr thought she looked great! She said we could start solids (starting with rice cereal) now, but I think I will wait a bit longer. She is just now starting to even notice if we are eating. Reese's growth is right on track and hasn't made any major changes.
Here are her stats:
Weight: 13lb 4 oz (39%)
Length: 25.5" (89%)
Head circ: 15.5"
Some things she's up to now:
- She has found her feet while laying on her back
- She has rolled over 4-5 times now (front to back) I have not see this but Clay witnessed it once. The other time were from nap time.
- Reese grabs for toys and can hang onto them. She will reach for her paci, grab it and try to get it to her mouth.
- She is starting to hang out in her bumbo some.
- Her hair is still growing and we have quite the mullet in the back. :) It does seem thinner to me but that could be because she rubs her head a ton when she's sleeping and has rubbed a ring of hair off.
- She is still only breastfed and has carved herself out a pretty consistent schedule. Eating about every 3 hours or so.
-Was sleeping for a 6-7 hr stretch each night. Was being the key here. The past 1.5-2 weeks have been tough for us at night. I think she must be going through the "4 month wakeful." She's wakes up quite a bit and isn't hungry but just kindof restless and uncomfy. I am praying she will quickly get back to her routine of waking only once/twice a night.
We love you sweet Reese. You are precious to us and we are so blessed by you!
Riley is so so sweet with Reese!
She is always so helpful and loving toward her. She asks for her whenever she is asleep and hugs and kisses on her each morning and night. Riley helps change diapers (especially poopy ones. ha!), she picks up and washes the paci if it falls, she talks to Reese to calm her if she's upset. What a good big sister. Riley is also working on sharing her toys, now that Reese can grab and play with toys this isn't always easy but Riley is doing a great job! Watching the two of them interact is so much fun for Clay and I!
