Charlotte is 4 Months Old!

She is! Just look at her! 

AHH-DORABLE.  

Here are some outtakes from the photo sesh.  

 NOT HAPPY.  I mean, duh.  She's not wearing a bow.

Then the sheer weight of the bow completely toppled her over.  Poor thing. 

So anyway, let's get on to the stats.  

 Charlotte took her giraffe and blankie to her appointment for comfort.

 Charlotte weighed in at 13.25 pounds.  She's 35 percentile, up from 28th percentile at her last appointment. Hey, she's growing! She was 25 inches which is 70th percentile.  She's got a long torso and long legs.  I don't remember her measurement for head size but they told us she was 80th percentile.  Big ol' gourd! Turns out, Charlotte is long and skinny with a big head.  So she's our little Lollipop.

 They said we could start solids so we did (because of these studies).  People have been asking us a lot if we can tell if Charlotte has any food allergies.  At this point, Tommy was already completely rashed out so things are looking up.
I started with rice cereal at dinner.  She did NOT understand what was going on at first.  Then she finally got the hang of it and would grab at the spoon! She hardly got any to stay in her mouth but she did great! Awesome first round, Charlotte!!

To go over the things I mentioned in the first picture… You've already seen in a previous post that she can roll over.  She also loves to grasp toys now. She can grab them and get them up to her mouth to chew.  It keeps her busy for a little while.  It's kinda nice! Why? Because she gets really mad, very quickly.  You can tell she's getting mad because she will start to grunt.  She grunts louder and longer and angrier if you don't do something about it.  She is definitely particular! She gets her message across! :) She could be grunting because she's mad about her first real cold.  It's pretty sad to hear her cough but she's toughing through it like a champ.  

 She doesn't wear bows all the time… but when she does, it's beyond precious.  She's the most interesting baby in the world. ;-)

Happy Four Months, Miss Charlotte!
