Growing // Talitha finally went to her well check at 4 months and 2 weeks of age. I had to push her appointment back because of our move. She is weighing in at 17 pounds, 5 ounces, and she’s 26 inches long. She is getting so big that it hurts my back to carry her around. She is a bit stronger and more agile that Z was at this age, so she can hold herself up a little bit, but my body is still achin’ by the end of each day.
Eating // We are in that fabulous time of life where Talitha nurses really consistently five times a day. She’s not on a super strict schedule, but I would say she eats roughly at 7:30/8, 10:30/11, 1:30/2, 5:00ish, and 8/8:30. We won’t start solids for a couple more months, so eating right now is easy as can be.
Wearing // Sweet T has broken into her 9 month clothes and I’m already eyeing the 12 months pajamas because she’s so tall. I’ve been frantically trying to use up all her size 2 diapers this week. We are turning into blow-out city over here because her chubby buns and thighs don’t leave room for much else in her diapers… I just ordered her first box of size 3 diapers, and I’m hoping this will solve the explosion problem.
Doing // Rolling over stomach-to-back and has gotten close to flipping back-to-stomach as well. Now sits in the Lion Heart seat and spins her toy. Gnaws on everything, especially her own clothing and dad’s fingers. Has also started putting her feet in her mouth.
Loving // Baths, the stroller, having her neck cleaned {she laughs like crazy}, her pacifier, and she’s actually starting to like napping in her crib
Loathing // She doesn’t loathe strangers, but she is more leery of them than Z ever was. If men pick her up, she sometimes cries. She is starting to hate her nursing cover, which always makes life more interesting…
Milestones // Talitha has been a champ this month. We’ve taken multiple road trips to and from California, and she has nursed and napped in the car more times than I can count, but she is handling the transition really well. She officially moved from a swaddle to a sleep sack and she is doing much better taking consistent/longer naps at home. I can almost always get Z and T to nap at the same time around 2pm and that’s the biggest milestone in the world if you ask me!
You forgot to add what a beautiful baby she is. So adorable!
