Happy 4 Month Birthday Kaylea

Kaylea was 4 months old yesterday. However, I waited to update the blog until today because I am off work and because we went for her 4 month check up today. Kaylea continues to be a healthy baby. Even with her daddy having the flu and her mommy having a terrible cold, she has managed to remain illness-free. She weighed in a 13 pounds, 1 ounce. She is 24 inches long. We went to a new doctor today - It's Dr. Nassim's office (my old doctor), but we saw the nurse practitioner, Lindsay Polly. I was pleased. I am so glad I made the decision to switch.

It was so funny. Lindsay asked if Kaylea was cooing and blowing raspberries. Right on cue, Kaylea began talking and blowing bubbles. She wanted to speak for herself. The doctor gave us the OK to start the oatmeal (we jumped the gun a few days, but I knew they were going to tell us we could). They also said after a few weeks of oatmeal, we could start solid foods. We are going to start with veggies and move to fruits. I think we will wait at least another month.

Kaylea did not have bad reaction to the shots. I thought she would sleep all day, but that hasn't been the case. She actually has slept less today than most days. I guess she just likes all of this extra quality time with her mama.

Kaylea has turned over a few more times. Jordy finally got to witness it. I still haven't captured it on video, but it's no big deal. She is such a happy baby. I know I shouldn't say it, but she is just so good. She rarely cries. She has been sleep through the night (from 8:30 to 6:30). It's hard to believe my little munchkin is going to turn into a monster (teenager) one day.

She loves looking at herself in the mirror. She laughs out loud and babbles all the time. She loves to play on her mat. She is taking 6 - 8 ounces ever 4 hours. She has been the perfect addition to our little family.
