4 months







Kylee had her 4 month check up today.. It went great other than those darn shots. I swear it breaks my heart when she screams like that. She weighs 15 lbs 4.8 0z (90%), 24.5 inches long (75%). We have finally been working on getting her into her own room and bed. Last night was her third night in her room and it went great. She slept from 7:45pm until 5:40 am (10 hours). Then ate and went back to sleep from 6:10am to 8:45 am. I have to say I have been dreading putting her in her room, but now that we have started Its been wonderful. Patrick and I have a few hours in the evening to ourselves now. We have put her on really good routine and she is adapting quite well to it.. I highly recommend the Baby Whisper book to anyone that has a new baby. Not all the suggestions work for everyone but when you find the ones that work for your baby what an amazing difference. I do have to say that I said we would never use a video monitor as people have survived for hundreds of years with out them, however a friend lent us hers and it has put my mind and heart at ease. I was so worried about SIDS and now I can see that she is breathing with out having to go in and disturb her. So glad I swallowed my pride... The doc said today that she is doing really good and hitting some of her milestones early. He predicted she would be an early walker.. (An over achiever much like her pappa.) We can also start her on rice cereal at any time.. I can't believe how fast she is growing. I know everyone says it goes quickly but you don't realize how fast it truely does go......
