Updates...

Here were her stats at her 4 month Doctor checkup:
weight: 16 lbs. 5 oz
height: 26 ¾ in.
She was in the 98th percentile for both!

Now that she is 5 months old I am quite sure she is over 18 lbs, probably approaching 20! She is so heavy that every time I carry her around I get quite the arm workout! Sometimes I sit and wonder as I look at her: where did my little girl go? She is growing and changing so rapidly. I miss the days of her not being able to move and when she would just cuddle up on my chest and sleep. She is now on to bigger adventures and soon will be mobile! Watch out world, here comes Jade!

Some other milestones for Jade this month are:

She rolled over for the first time on Christmas Eve and has gotten better at it ever since. She only rolls one way on one side and gets frustrated when she tries the other way. She can only roll from back to front so far. Once she gets on her tummy though she only lasts a little while and then gets frustrated because she cannot do much and she cannot move so basically all she does is bat at toys with her arms. I can tell when she is really done because she eats her play mat and grunts until someone turns her over or picks her up.

She can hold her head at a 90 + degree angle when she is on her belly.

She can make raspberry sounds with her mouth and has mastered the art of drooling!

She scoots a little to each side when she is on her back or tummy. In fact, today after her morning nap I found her turned completely sideways, wedged up against the head of her crib. She didn’t like that because she couldn’t figure out how to get her arm out from under her and was stuck!

She eats about every 3 ½ to 4 hours and takes 3-4 naps a day. She is still not sleeping all the way through the night, but we are working on that.
