Madison Noelle, you are growing up too fast for poor old mama...will you please slow down!!
Month number 4 has been such an amazing milestone for you, you are being such an active little girl and I cannot believe my eyes everyday you are doing something new! You truly are advanced!!! =D
Last month you began to turn over with a little assitance from the parentals, but this month you busted down the gates and really started flipping around completely on your own. You actually don't even like laying on your back very much and everytime we lay you down on your play mat you flip right over and lift your head up super high. You are soo very strong and your head never falls. You are starting to hold your chest up with your arms and even attemping to bring you knees in under you - the first signs of attempted crawling! I cannot believe my little baby girl will be mobile soon. You get very frustrated easily I think because you really want to start cruising around but need to gain a little more strength. When you bring those knees in you tend to scoot backwards a bit, but you are definitely making strides in that department!

I took you to your 4 month well check up yesterday morning and I cannot believe how much you have grown. You are currently 25 1/2 inches long which puts you in the 75/90th percentile in height. You are also 15 lbs 4 oz putting you in the 75th percentile for weight (my hefty little chunkster) and your head circumference lands you in the 25/50th percentile which rounds you out and makes you very proportionate (so the doc said). Not that I had any doubt, but you surely are growing like a little weed!
You will not remember this at all, but you had what doctors refer to as a labial adhesion. Your cousin had this same issue so when I saw it whilst changing your diaper I knew what it was right away. It is extremely common in the "heavier set" babies verbatum per Dr. Struble. She fixed that problem with a little Q-tip and I was expecting some screams out of you, but your reaction was completely opposite, as if nothing has even happened! However the story is completely different with your second round of shots! : ( you screamed so loud, thank goodness Auntie Marissa was there to hold you while the nurse was giving you all 5 shots because sadly your mama was freaking out, those needles are so big!! But after just a few minutes a little milk you were totally fine and eventually slept the day away. A slight fever, but the grape flavored infant tylenol really helped (even though you don't really like the taste!)
So now that your 4 month well visit is over and I have written proof that you are a growing healthy little baby girl I am content.
You love you some Baby Einstein. It is absolutely crazy. While we were in Chicago for 2 family reunions and your baptism your Grandpa Steele loved to hold you on his lap and watch Baby Einstein with you. You just completely zone in on it like nothing else is around. When we are at home you love to have it on in the backgroud while you play with Jeffrey the Giraffe hanging from your belly time play mat. Your favorite song to laugh and play to are the ABCs my little genius. And when you are sleepy I sing "I love your my little baby girl" the song I made up for you and you just stare at me with those adorable loving little eyes as you drift off to sleep.
I could seriously go on for hours about every little thing that you do, but I will end there. Another month has passed and my love for you continues to grow. My sweet adorable chunky little baby girl! :) I love you.
