4 Month Update

Lexi had her 4 month Dr. appointment yesterday, so I KNOW that you are all just dying to get the stats....so here they are!

Height - 24 1/2 inches - 55th percentile
Weight - 13 pounds 11 ounces - 50th percentile
We are pretty happy with these stats, they are a good improvement from her 2 month check up. I think that having Lexi get a bottle while I am at work has really helped beef her up, she gets 3 or 4 five ounce bottles while I am at work, plus her morning and evening feedings from me.
Lexi is at a really fun age...though so far I think all of her stages have been pretty fun! Some highlights:
~She is smiling all the time
~She likes to grab her feet and pull them up
~She has her thumb! Not sure what to do with it, but she found it!
~She giggles out loud...one of the cutest things I have ever seen!
~Lexi give "mooches", big ole open mouth kisses. She even make a sound when she does it
~We are up to size 3 diapers at Costco!
~3 month size clothes are starting to become a thing of the past...3-6 month size are fitting well, but the 6th month size are still a bit big.
~She has figured out that she can arch her back to try to get out of her bumbo when she is tired of sitting in it....but generally she is quite happy in the bumbo.
~She pretty much sleeps through the night, though that is likely to change in the next month or two as she gets closer to eating solid foods
~Grandpa Roger carried Lexi around in her Baby Bjorn at the Evergreen State Fair, she had so much fun, she slept through most of it.
~Lexi loves spending the days with her Daddy, they have really bonded with this time together, it is precious to watch.
~She has a voice! When she wants it to be, it is quite loud.
~Lexi doesn't really like naps, we have been able to get her to fall asleep in her crib a few times, but she would much prefer that you hold her...lol.
~She has rolled over a few times, but nothing consistently....it seems like we are getting very close though.
~Lexi has started taking baths in the regular tub...with just a little water, the first time I put her in there, the facial expression was priceless! Terrified...yet happy! :)
~Lexi really doesn't care for binkies...she rarely takes them. Derek picked her up from Daycare one day and there she was...sucking on a binkie. Apparently she will only take them from Chris our Daycare lady. Hmmmmm weird. I have even tried again since then...still no binkie.
~Lexi still spits up...A LOT...the Doctor said it isn't anything to worry about since it doesn't make her upset or look like she is in any pain. It is just annoying to have spit up EVERYWHERE! :)
~Lexi loves her big brother and vice versa, Ryan carries her around and she LOVES it. He is so good with her, and you can tell she adores him too.
That is what is going on in our world....Lexi sure is growing up fast! A few things we are looking foward to in the next month are: Derek and I are headed to Pullman for the Cougar football game on the 19th! This will be my first trip back in 10 years! This will also be our first overnight trip without Lexi, good luck Grandma!! The first weekend in October we are headed to San Francisco to go to my good friend Brenda's wedding, we are very much looking forward to it. Lexi is going with us and it will be her first airplane trip...cross your fingers for us and everyone on the plane.
