Kathryn is growing a lot. She has been rolling over, both ways, for the past month and half or two months. She is close to crawling now. She can push herself up on all fours but doesn’t know what to do after that yet. She wants to keep up with her brothers. Ian is a big helper with her. He loves holding and playing with her. He gives her hugs all the time.
Just this past Wednesday, I took her in for her four month check up (though she is five months, but it was the soonest they could get us in for a new patient appointment). She weighs 12 lbs and is 24 1/2 inches long. The doctor didn’t say anything about percentiles, but said she looked healthy. She also got shots and did pretty well. She didn’t even cry until she got the second shot and calmed down pretty quick.
At the same time Ian had his 5 year check up and got his kindergarten shots. He cried for awhile after, but he let the nurse give him the shots. He weighs 32 lbs and is 40 (if I remember right) inches tall.
We have tried giving Kathryn rice cereal a few times. She is excited to get the spoon in her mouth, but doesn’t get that it is food that she should swallow. She ends up spitting it out because she doesn’t know what to do with it.
She is a very happy baby and does not stay in one place long at all. She loves to have a toy to put in her mouth, in fact her foot can be found in her mouth a lot. She sleeps through the night almost all the time now, naps are another story though. I like getting a full nights sleep regularly (which hasn’t happened since before Ian was born). Jaiden has started waking up occasionally and crying for a drink of water.
