4 months old

We celebrated AngelBaby's one-third birthday (4 months=1/3 of a year) during our visit to Grammy's house for the weekend. Or more accurately, observed because we'll save the celebrating for her six month and 1 year marks. But with the four month milestone, we got to make a trip to the pediatrician for a well baby visit.

She's 15 lbs, 1 oz (80 percentile) and 25.5 inches long (90 percentile). For her abilities milestones...
maintain eye contact? check
responding to noise? check
playing peek a boo? check
reaching for things? sometimes
grasping things? check
rolling? check (which I found out this weekend, barely caught her from rolling off the couch. that was a new and unexpected surprise.)
sitting? not quite
cooing? check
teething? check ...wait, really?! yep, teething already. I can see those tiny streaks of translucent color where her two bottom teeth are slowly working their way to the surface.
sleeping through the night? check! (she usually sleeps 11-2 hours with only one feeding about 2/3 of the way through)

She's beautiful and wonderful. She's an exceptionally happy and good natured baby (for which I am so incredibly grateful!) After being checked out by our fantastic doctor, the nurse administered her immunizations. I was shocked because she laid on the table, looking around with her big eyes, waiting patiently for me to cuddle her. She didn't even flinch at the first shot and it wasn't until halfway through the second that her face suddenly bunched up, with a broken hearted, accusing cry ("what was that?!). It lasted only a few seconds and as soon as I had her cuddled against me, she settled into a whimper with an angry little pout.

Meanwhile, the big girls played on the floor, ignoring the coloring books I brought and generally being loud and distracting. But we made it through and the sweet friendly nurse that we've come to know and appreciate took them to get a little prize while I got the baby ready to go and soon we were off again! Eager to go home and spend some time with daddy.
