update

Not a lot to report here...

We had our four month cehckup a few weeks ago and all is well with our little girl. She is 6kg, which is small compared to some of her little friends but the doctor kept saying how healthy she was and what a good body weight, and that Chris and I did a good job. Its nice gettiing compliments about our baby!

I let the mosquito plug in thing in her room run out and the poor girl has 11 bites on her face. What a rotten mother! I must get refills today.

She is almost sitting up. We can prop her up and she'll hold the pose for a while but then leans over and falls. She really enjoys sitting in her walker. She can't make it move yet, which is ok with mommy and daddy for a while, but she loves to push the toys around the tray. Everything goes in her mouth; this morning she was sucking on the blanket during tummy time. Little weirdo!

Her favorite things? Chewing mommy's fingers, looking in the mirror, when mommy and daddy sing... Her favorite somg is 'mm mm went the little green frog one day.' We've also been reading lots of books. I got a whole stack from the library that was being discarded. Either they had been replaced with newer, prettier ones or they were just too old. Its good beacuse then I let her put her mouth on the page and touch and grab without worry of wrecking them. She is not into the soother anymore, but actually drank from the bottle yesterday. Chris had such a good week with her, she didn't cry barely at all.

We are working on a 9-9:30 bedtime, and it is actually working. She goes to sleep for 20 minutes, wakes up and I comfort her back to sleep, she sleeps till 12:30, then 4ish, then 6;30. Today she went from 4am till 8 so that was good. We're definetly taking a more lax approach to the whole baby routine thing; when shes hungry we feed her, and when shes tired she naps and she is forming a routine.

Sorry for the lack of posts... Just too busy.
