four months - anika

Happy four months, Anika!

13lb 5oz, 24.5", 40.5cm  - all 50th percentile

Anika has had a nasty cold the past week.. congestion, sneezing, coughing. Enora got over hers for the most part a few days ago. Keith had gastroenteritis for about a week. Me? Nothin but sleep deprivation!

She is still doing amazing, though! Still smiley and happy. Wearing 3-6 month clothes, size 1 diapers, eating 6 oz.. however we did just start her on rice cereal! Only a little in the evenings here and there to get her used to it. I don't think I mentioned it last month, but her spit up has gotten as worse as Enora's was! Always gotta have a burp cloth and extra bibs and clothes around.

She is laughing a lot now and it's fun finding new ways to make her laugh. Today I could do it simply by talking to her! What a cutie. And she is blowing raspberries now, which definitely adds to her drooliness.

We brought up the activity saucer so she gets to play in that now and will also sit in her bumbo. She's very alert and loves playing with things, especially if they have faces on them. She also tolerates tummy time! It's weird being able to put her on her stomach and not have her cry immediately! I'd say she goes about 5-10 minutes before getting fussy. Crazy!

Some other cute things.. cuz she is just the cutest.. when she's really tired and fussy, right before she falls asleep she gets super happy and will smile and talk at you!   She recognizes her bottle and her eyes get real wide when she sees it. She loves to eat her feet and hug herself!

Wondering if she'll keep those blue eyes.

outfit change + cute face!
