So I was reading over at I Can Grow People, which I love by the way and saw that Lori is doing monthly updates with her adorable little one. I thought this was so cool! So I wanted to start doing them. I'm not sure I'll be able to do them monthly, but at least I'll be able to do some of the milestone ones! So, Little C just turned 4 months old! Pediatrician appointment and vaccines are scheduled. So here is Little C's 4 Month Update!
I do want to start off by saying that the gas & colic issues are much better since the introduction of Nutramigen formula and Prevacid. Seriously she is like a new baby. Still pretty sensitive & somewhat of a Mommy's girl. She doesn't like when I walk away from her. But she is beginning to not like anyone talking to her, then walking away. I think she feels insulted. She is eating like a horse right now. Waking up for a 4am feeding, which I thought we had done away with, but she wanted it back, so up I get. But it's OK...I enjoy our middle of the night girl talks!
What she is wearing:
- Most things at 0-3 months & she still has plenty of room in them for right now.
- She is wearing size 2 Luvs.
- Bibs. We go through several a day not only from the reflux, but she is a serious drooler now. I see a tooth in our immediate future.

What she is doing:
- Rolling over! Both ways & to the left & the right!
- "Talking" to us. A lot. She is very vocal! Lots of coos and babbles & she can get loud too!
- Smiling. Big broad smiles, with and without the tongue sticking out.
- Laughing. Every now and again I can get her going with some deep belly laughs.
- Kicking. Like a wild woman! She is batting quite a bit too.
- Demanding attention. I feel the Dog & Pony Show days approaching!
- Snuggling. Moreso than before, she really likes to be held to your chest and snuggle.
- Gripping items/toys/blankets/burp cloths.
- Pulling her pacifier out of her mouth with her hand & looking at it. This cracks me up. She is so intent with the inspection of the paci.
What she is eating:
- Enfamil Nutramigen - 6 bottles - 5-6ozs. each.
What she is growing:
- She is getting very loooong! And she's getting more hair...kinda sorta. Its hard to explain...lol.
What she likes these days:
- Music - Especially my singing, but enjoys the music channels on TV and likes the radio too.
- Books - She is very engaged with Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar .
- TV - I rarely let her watch television, but she enjoys some of the Baby Genius shows on our cable On Demand. J was sitting with her the other night and she was quite engaged in watching Monsters Inside Me with him. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

- Getting raspberries on her belly.
- Playing with her feet.
- Telling her she has a stinky hiney...hey, as long as she thinks its funny.
- Being carried upright since she has much better head control now.
- Still loves her swing, but starting to get bored some days. She is ready for more action.
- Massages after bath.
- Being swaddled. I pretty much have to swaddle her every night to get her to go to sleep in her bassinet. Way different from Big C.
