4 Months Old

I can't believe that my baby girl is already 4 months old! Every day I am more and more astounded at the things she's doing and at the little person she is becoming. She has been more than a handful in her short little life, but the older she gets the better things become. After months of getting no sleep, I can now say that she is sleeping through the night (although she occasionally wakes up once to feed). She sleeps anywhere from 9-12 hours a night and takes about 2 naps during the day. Although her pediatrician said that she's ready for solid foods, we are sticking with the formula for a while. At her 4 month visit, she weighed 13 pounds 7 ounces and measured 24 inches. She is currently in the 50th percentile for head circumference, height, and weight. Way to be average, Alice! She loves to play with her hands and feet, roll over from her tummy to her back, giggle, and of course eat. Here are some cute pictures that my friend, Karen Martella took of her recently. I was a little disappointed that she didn't smile more, but whenever she gets in front of a camera she just stares at it. Oh well, I guess she's not a performer. Thanks to Karen for taking time out to take these!
