Just like that she's four months!

I'm starting to confuse myself because I'm thinking maybe I should recap the months at the very end instead of the beginning. And if we are being honest I am over 10 days late posting about our sweet girl turning 4 months old anyways. I need to get my act together.


Brynn turned 4 months on August 17th. That same day she had her 4 month well check. Poor thing got another round of shots and I think it was harder on her this time than the last. She is only in the 4th percentile for her weight and had actually lost weight from the 2 weeks prior. So the doctor has us supplementing with about 5oz of formula a day. We do 2oz in oatmeal cereal (half we give in the morning and the other half at night). Then for her last feeding we mix 2 oz of breast milk with 3oz formula.


Because of her weight loss we had to go back for a weight check a week later and thankfully she had gained 8oz in 7 days. So she is now in the 6th percentile. Her doctor told us to continue what we were doing because it's working.


Although she is really little she still amazes me with how strong she is. She can do the tripod sit, and can stand if she is assisted. She is still a rolling machine, especially when we put her in tummy time. Sometimes I worry that she will never learn to crawl because she always rolls out of it. However, she is starting to put her knees under her when in tummy time and can inch forward a little bit.


She is still chewing on everything and is a drooling machine. I can't wait for those teeth to finally come through because I'm praying that will make the drool come to an end. Her clothes are always soaked.


This month she has become more clingy. She only wants her mama to hold her when she is tired. I secretly love that she knows I am there to comfort her. We were blessed with such a happy that really only cries when she is tired. Brynn is such a perfect baby and always makes me feel like I'm doing something right because she gives out smiles frequently. I can't wait to see what the next month brings and how much our cute little thing grows.
