Kate had her 4 month well-baby visit today. She is actually 4.5 months old, so the percentiles may be a bit misleading. She measured 25 3/4 inches long (85th percentile and up from 23 inches at two months) and 16 pounds (82nd percentile and up from 11 lbs, 5 oz. at two months). Perhaps most dramatically, her head circumference increased from 38.5 inches (45th percentile) to 42.5 inches (78th percentile) in two months. Girl, you have a big head!
Lately, she has been enjoying rattling off a constant string of gutteral "Mmmmm...mmmmm....mmmmm" sounds. She has mastered all of her 4 month skills except for rolling over, although she gets an "A" for effort. She is giggling more loudly when Daddy blows raspberries on her neck and cheeks and tickles her all over. And, although the nurse practitioner today could find no evidence of cutting teeth, we think the teething process has begun. The drool is fairly constant, and she often has her whole fist shoved into her mouth with occasional fussiness. She is also sleeping more during the day while maintaining her typical 8-10 hour nighttime siesta, as well.
