She’s getting big. That’s what my babies do. I don’t think I mentioned that at her 4 month appointment she weighed in at 16 lbs, and is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. Just like Silje was. She looks so delicate that it’s almost deceiving. However, when those legs are exposed, you see where she keeps it all. Thighs, and as you can see in the picture, those cheeks!
She’s still just as sweet as ever. Her favorite thing to do is watch her siblings play. She really, really likes the “saucer” now, so she can be upright. She’s big enough to play with the attached rattles and teething rings, that are attached now. She loves to giggle and coo. O, she’s such a doll.
In the pictures where the fat from her chin and the fat from her body open up and reveal an amber teething necklace, I have to admit, I’m checking into the hype of these things. Almost every one of my friends with babies now say it is one of their most indispensable baby items. I’ll let you know if I think it actually works when her first tooth comes in…which I think she’s working on. She’s not supposed to chew on it. It’s supposed to sit against her skin when she’s awake and not alone. But who is ever alone in this house, I’d like to know! The amber beads are a natural source of succinic acid and it’s supposed to have the same, if not better effect of Tylenol. She’s only worn it for a week or so and so far I’ve noticed that if she wears it all day, she goes to bed without fuss. If I forget to put it on her that day, she fusses until I give her a bit of Tylenol at night. Not very scientific observation from me yet. It could be just a mistake, but I’m doing some quick google searches on the science on these and maybe I’m not imagining things…
I’ll let you know when I see the first tooth. Then I’ll review. Until then,
Here’s a little feast for those eyes. Yes, those cheeks are very kissable, and the legs are nice and squishy. You’ll just have to trust me on that!
