4 Months!!


Our little Heidi bug turned 4 months old this week!  Time is flying by!  We had a 4 month check up and learned her stats - she is 25 3/4 inches long (94%) and exactly 15 lbs (64%).  So apparently not quite as chubby as I had thought.
 
Heidi is a generally happy baby and in the last month has loved 'standing' and 'sitting' (supported of course).  To the point where when we lay her on her back she will frequently try to sit up like she is doing in the picture above.  She is incredibly strong.  We've started putting her in the jumperoo and she loves it.
She still loves tummy time and has started moving her arms to try to pull things in - most often just the blanket she is laying on.
Yup, she loves standing!
Allison still asks to hold Heidi fairly often.  Heidi enjoys watching Allison playing and running around.  We think it is fabulous to have built in entertainment.
In the last month Heidi has really gotten into her toys.  She is absolutely fascinated with them - the ones on her bouncy seat, the ones on her play mat and finally stuffed animals and baby toys.  She is working hard on her hand-eye coordination and has gotten quite good at grasping toys.  Now she is learning to pull the toys to her mouth - which generally results in her getting her hand in her mouth.
And I had to post this one - I love those little arm rolls!!!
A few other notes about Heidi at 4 months:
Eating - no solids yet and we're thinking we'll wait until 5 months to try any.
Sleeping - not much has changed since 3 months at night - generally 7 pm to 6 or 7 am with one feeding.  She is slowly settling into naps a little better and has at least one 2 hour nap a day.
Social - She seems to really enjoy daycare.  She enjoys her 'teachers' and watching the other kids.  At both daycare and home she has started talking & exercising her voice more and more.
