We went to the doctor for Peyton's 4 month check up, and she is still doing great! She is 25 inches long (75%), 16 lbs 14 oz (97%) and her head circumference is in the 95%....she must have a lot of brains ;)
Peyton continues to be such a sweet, happy little girl! She is still very easy to make smile and laugh. Her little laugh is such a sweet noise; I could listen to it all day! She is usually only fussy if you try to keep her awake for too long (she can usually only last for about an hour and a half, sometimes 2 hours, between naps) or towards the end of the day. She is very observant and likes to stare at people (this can be a little disturbing when she stares at strangers). She continues to be pretty vocal and isn't afraid to let you know if she's happy, with squeals and laughs, or starting to get fussy, with grunting/growling.
Peyton takes between 3 and 4 naps a day for 45 minutes to 2 hours. She usually only naps for about 45 min to an hour, but she will occasionally nap for longer. She goes down for the night around 6:30 and wakes up between 6 and 7 in the morning. She usually wakes up once during the night to eat (generally between 3 and 5); although, she has slept all night before! Unfortunately, she has been going through a stage of waking up crying 30 - 45 minutes after she goes down for the night. We have had a hard time figuring out how to handle this, but hopefully we are finally starting to get out of this habit!
Peyton drinks 5 - 6 bottles in a 24hr period, usually about 6 oz each time. The girl likes to eat! As soon as she sees the bottle, she starts to get antsy if you take too long. She also opens her mouth as soon as you sit down with her and move the bottle to her mouth.
We are in awe that we have such a wonderful baby! We love you Peyton!!!
That's awesome that she goes down at 6:30 and gets up between 6&7! Granted she's got that one middle of the night "snack", but still wonderful that you were able to get her on an early bedtime. That will so payoff later on. And it looks like she and Kenzie will be up to have breakfast at the same time this Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, all that head circumference is undoubtedly because of lots of brains!
