Quinn - 4 Month Stats

Quinn had her 4 month well baby visit with the pediatrician today.  She's a healthy, growing girl!  In the words of her doctor, "she looks great!"

Weight: 13.0 pounds (40th%)

Length: 24.75 inches (75th%)

Head Circumference: 43 centimeters (90th%).  Who knew she had such a huge head!  I have noticed that depending on her clothes, it can be a challenge to get her tops over her noggin.  :)

And just because a blog post isn't complete without at least one photo...Baxter thinks Q's changing table belongs to him.  He didn't care if she was already on it.



I guess her head does kind of look huge from this angle, huh?

Quinn - 4 Months

Age: 4 months

Weight: She'll be weighed tomorrow at her 4m well baby visit, but she weighed 12 lbs 7oz at her GI appointment last week. 

Height: I'll update tomorrow!

Size: She's still wearing her 0-3m clothes and a size 1 diaper.  I tried a 3-6m onesie on her today and it was huge.

Hair: Crazy.  Same as always.  It's grown quite a bit and you can see where it's coming in lighter. 

Teeth: Zero, but she's been drooling for weeks.  She's also chewing on her hands a ton, so I'm not sure if that means teeth soon or that they're still months away.

Sleeping:  Can I say I love this baby?  She is consistently sleeping from from about 7-7:15pm until 6am.  I wish she would learn to sleep in on weekends, but I'll take a baby that consistently sleeps through the night!  She's still sleeping in our room. 

She also takes several naps a day, ranging from 30 minutes - 2 hours.  She's only awake for about 2 hours during the day before needing a nap.

Eating: Five 5oz. bottles of Alimentum throughout the day.  Still on Prilosec for her reflux.  I thought it was getting better and then it got way worse.

Movement: She rolled from her belly to her back, she's found her hands and toes, can grasp hanging toys in her gym, and she's thisclose to rolling from her back to her belly.

Milestones:  Rolling, holding her head up.

Favorite toys/activities: Chattering and smiling, watching her big brother, playing in her activity gym, riding in the stroller, baths.  Loves her paci.  Overall, she's a happy girl and rarely fussy.

Dislikes: Being hungry or sleepy.

Words: None yet, just chattering.

Do We Look Alike - Month 3

Tyson:

Quinn:

I think they look like siblings, but not as much as they did a few months ago.

Quinn: 3 months

Age: 3 months

Weight: Not sure, she won't get weighed until her 4m appointment.

Height: Again, not sure, but she's getting long! 

Size: 0-3m clothes, size 1 diaper.

Hair: Still crazy!  Getting lighter and longer though.  Can wear small bows now :)

Teeth: Zero, but she's starting to drool.  a lot.  So did Tyson, but he didn't get teeth until almost 6m.

Sleeping:  She's doing great!  We've got a bedtime routine down now.  She goes to sleep between 8-8:30pm and wakes up around 5am.  She takes a bottle and goes back to sleep until 7 or 8am.  She's still sleeping in our room in the rock and play sleeper.  I'm not sure when we'll move her to her room.  I'm just not ready yet. 

During the day, she naps intermittently although her naps are getting shorter while her awake periods are getting longer.

Eating: Six 4oz bottles of Alimentum throughout the day.

Movement: Still wiggly!  Always kicking her legs if she's playing on her back.

Milestones:  Can support her upper body on her forearms during tummy time.  Smiles all the time.  Holds her head up very well.

Favorite toys/activities: Chattering and smiling, watching her big brother, playing in her activity gym, riding in the stroller, baths.

Dislikes: Being hungry or sleepy.

Words: None yet, just chattering. 

State Fair

Last Friday, we took a trip to the Indiana State Fair! We got there just in time to enjoy the daily parade. Tyson was pretty impressed with all of the vintage tractors.

We saw goats, pigs, cows and a few horses. 

And of course, we sampled the food.  Ribeye sandwiches for me and Ryan and glass of milk from the Dairy Barn for our picky eater.  Hey Tyson, you have some milk on your cheek...

Unfortunately, the very next evening, tragedy struck at the Fair.  Ryan's cousin, Hillery, was one of the injured.  She spent the night in the hospital, went home Sunday afternoon and was back to the hospital yesterday.  She's back at home recovering now and our thoughts and prayers are with her as well as her good friend who is still in the hospital with serious injuries.
