4 Months

Four months has flown by! I could kiss her sweet cheeks all day. She is the cutest little thing and has all of us wrapped around her little finger.
Here's what McCall is up to at four months:

  • McCall is 11 lbs 4.5 oz (3rd percentile); 2 feet tall (26th percentile); and her head is the 67th percentile. Still tiny but still growing!
  • The last couple of weeks, her sleep has changed a little bit and she has woken up a little more at night but still is a better sleeper than my other two girls. She also is taking short naps during the day unless being held or in her car seat but she is happy when she is awake most of the time. So yes I don't get much done but she is so worth it.
  • She loves toys that makes noise and have lots of movement. She zones in and really focuses on the toy with the most determined look and kicks her legs like crazy. You can tell that she wants to grab it so bad but hasn't quite figured out how to use her arms yet.
  • If she does get a hold of something though, she has quite the grip and immediately takes it to her mouth.
  • She loves to suck on her hands and fingers.
  • She has the sweetest smile with a cute dimple in one of her cheeks. She will do big open mouth smiles when she is really happy and kick her legs when she is excited. She gets super excited when you are about to pick her up. She still isn't quite laughing but is so close and I can't wait to hear that glorious sound.
  • She loves to play peekaboo with her blanket and loves to grab your hands when you put them in front of her face. She is getting more interactive which has been super fun.
  • She still likes to be held facing out and wants you to be walking around if you are holding her. She is a very alert and active baby.
  • She still loves to be outside and loves bath time. She loves people and doesn't like to be left alone.
  • She has quite the little voice and makes all sorts of noise when you leave her alone or when she wakes up from a nap. It is necessarily a cry but just loud babbling to let you know of her presence. 
  • She still has yet to roll over and still isn't the greatest with holding her head up. She is really good and strong at tummy time on occasion and then other times just arches her back and fusses when you put her on her tummy.
  • She is still great at nursing and eats quite often during the day, every 2-3 hours. Then she usually eats 2 times during the night. 
  • When you go in to kiss her cheeks, she anticipates it and it's the cutest thing. She will squint her eyes and open her mouth like she wants to kiss you. She also has the cutest little tongue and this past week has been sticking it out more trying to figure out what that thing in her mouth is.
  • She brings us all complete joy and we love our little girl!
