Four Months Old


We went to the doctor this morning for Gretchen’s four month check-up. We are happy to report she is doing wonderful. She is 25 ¾ inches and 15 lbs 8 oz. That puts her in the 95% for height and the 90% for weight. Dr. Tumma said essentially she is the size of the average 6 month old.

Developmentally she is right on track as well. She has been rolling over occasionally for a while now. In the last week and a half she has started doing it a lot more and she no longer gets her one arm caught underneath herself. She is also smiling and talking with people other than Nathan and myself. She has developed some favorite toys and loves to grab them and put them in her mouth.

As far as sleep goes she sleeps from 7:30pm to 7am with only one waking at night for food. As you know naps have always been a struggle, but we have started to see progress. She generally takes three naps a day totaling three hours (sometimes more if I am lucky.) I am hoping now that we are back from our big road trip, lying down for naps will become easier for her and she will start to nap for longer periods.
