4 months




4 months old already!!!
12lbs 14oz
25 1/4 inches

Boy, time just flies!! Our big girl is growing....not much but growing. Big sis was 16lbs at her 4month checkup so this is quite the difference. Her reflux still sucks the big one and she even has a little ear infection from fluids getting into her ears from the reflux. :( Big boo on that. She's okay though and we had no idea anything was really wrong with her. I say "really" because about a week ago we did notice she was upset after pulling on her ear but didn't think a whole lot of it. Being the awesome parents we are we did nothing and all this time she's had an ear infection in her outer ear. PARENTS OF THE YEAR!!! Never mind the chunk of ear wax that came out of her ear when the doc stuck the little ear dojobbie thing in her ear to check it out. I figure we can use the wax to make our awards with and have them engraved with best parents ever. Ah, second baby syndrome. Well, this explains the unexplained crying last week. Growth spurt, ear infection? I dunno. She is overall so happy and so easy you would never know!

We did try some cereal and fruit this past weekend and she loved it! We are going to hold off on solids though because the doc thinks it could make her reflux worse by producing more acid to break down the foods. I was ready to start feeding her solids but I guess we'll hold off at least another month. Cereal is a go though! She loves cereal already!!

Claire is good too. Summer camping still 2x's a week! She loves it! She LOVES her baby sister....maybe too much. My eye twitches when she plays with her because it stresses me out how rough she is with her. She won't touch someone else's baby but her sister is up for grabs...literally!
