We don't have a checkup until six months but I weighed her last night and she weighed in at 12 lbs 15.5 oz.  I am sure she is longer but not exactly sure how much she has grown.  We need to get a growth chart.  Her hair has really started to curl on the top if we forget to brush it after her bath.  We are still unsure about her eye color but I am hoping for brown eyes like her mommy!

She is still formula fed with oatmeal cereal mixed in.  She started solids this month and she is loving it.  Her favorites right now are veggies.  She loves green beans, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes.  She is not a big lover of fruits except prunes.  She will eat them mixed in with her cereal but she is not the biggest fan.  We are working on her eating more fruits but it makes me happy that she loves her veggies.  And she loves a good plastic bib.  It might be her favorite part about eating.




Her sleep has been all over the map this month.  She was doing great but it seems we hit the 4 month sleep regression and teething at the same time.  We are working on a better nap schedule and getting her to fall asleep on her own but CIO does not work for me.  We haven't put her in the crib yet but she is now sleeping in the Pack n Play in our room.  With our impending move I thought this would be easier because we are not sure how sleeping will be in the temporary apartment.





She is currently wearing sizes 3 months, 3-6 months and 6 months depending on the brand.  She is still in size 2 diapers and they are still big but they get the job done and fit better than size ones.

She still really loves chatting with a ceiling fan, stroller rides, snuggles, tummy time and being carried around in the Ergo and Baby K'tan.  She is in love with crinkle books and any toy she can put in her mouth.





She is still not a fan of being hungry, diaper changes and red lights or stop signs when in the car.  She also really hates teething!

- She is still consistently rolling over from back to front anytime you put her on her back.
- She went on her first trip to the mountains for the day and seemed to enjoy the car ride
-  Her two bottom teeth have made an appearance are almost fully in!
-  Is really grabbing at toys and seems to enjoy a book being read to her now.
- She celebrated her first 4th of July.



Cynthia,  Mommy and daddy are still really enjoying watching you grow and learn.  We are still enjoying seeing your little personality shine through.  It is so fun to watch you grow and see what type of little person you are going to grow into being.  We are excited to see what you do this next month.  Can't believe you are almost half a year old!

At her four month well check up yesterday, she weighed in at 11 lbs 15 oz and she measured 24 inches long.  The doctor said she is a little small weight wise but she is getting tall!  Her hair is getting a little curly on the sides and thinning out in the back but does appear to be getting lighter in color.  I am still not sure about her eye color.  One day they look brown and then the next they look lighter.  I guess only time will tell what her true eye color will be.

She is currently formula feed with a little oatmeal cereal mixed in to help with reflux issues.  We got the okay from the doctor to start trying to give her a little cereal at dinner time mixed with some formula.  She said after she takes to the night cereal feedings then we can work on adding a breakfast feeding then on to fruits and veggies!
 
She is a great sleeper at night!  She normally falls asleep between 8:00 and 9:00 and sleeps until 6:00 am.  Then she wakes and has a bottle and normally goes back to sleep for a couple hours.  She is not much of a napper.  She takes a couple random naps about 45-60 minutes long but would much rather spend her day awake.  We are going to start the transition to her crib for night sleeping this month and are hoping it goes well.

She is currently wearing sizes 3 months and 3-6 months depending on the brand.  She is currently wearing size 2 diapers and they are a little big but we had plenty of boxes on hand from our diaper shower and figured she would grow into them and then we don't have to buy anymore diapers right now!

She really likes to chat with any ceiling fan, stroller rides, snuggles with mommy and daddy and her kick n play mat.

She is not a fan of being hungry, diaper changes and red lights or stop signs when in the car.  She is not a fan when the vehicle stops moving.

- She is now consistently rolling over from back to front anytime you put her on her back.
- She went on her first trip to Florida and did pretty good in the car.  She handled most of the drive well but by the last couple hours she was done with the car seat.  We did try and stop often to give her time to be out of the seat and stretch.
-  During our trip to florida she made her first visit to Disney!  We only lasted a couple hours but it was fun to take her for the first time and now we can't wait to take her back!
-  Got to meet all her cousins and grandmother, aunts and an uncle.
- She went on her first boat ride this month and as long as the boat was moving she was happy and content to sleep away but when the boat stopped she was not happy.
 









Cynthia,  Mommy and daddy are really enjoying watching you grow and seeing your personality really start to come out.  We can't wait to see what you do this next month.

Our lives have really changed since my last post.  We are now a family of 3.  We welcomed our baby girl Cynthia Leeann on February 28, 2016.  She was born a few weeks early but arrived perfect and we couldn't be happier.
