Four Months Old!!

Caroline Jean- 4 Months Old

We are having so much fun with our sweet Caroline!  She continues to be so happy and content- she is truly a joy to be around.  The boys still love on her lots- Henry talks to her in a super high pitched voice and gives her lots of hugs.  Tommy is really good to her too.  She always looks a little skeptical when Henry gets too close, but she lights up when she sees Tommy- he can always get a big toothless grin from her.  I can't believe she is already four months old- it's going by much too fast! 

Caroline weighs 13lbs, 6oz (35%) and is 24.6" long (53%).  Her head was 16 1/8" (50%).  She is pretty comparable in size to Henry at this age.  At four months Henry weighed 13lbs 8oz and was 24 1/2" long and Tommy was 17lbs, 8oz and was 26 1/2" long.  Both boys' heads measured 16 1/2".

What is Caroline up to at 4 months?

-She sleeps from 5pm- 7am (14 hours), occasionally waking up at 5am to quickly eat and then go back to sleep.
-She takes 2-3 naps a day- usually a morning nap from 9am-11:15am, an afternoon nap from 12:30-3pm and sometimes a quick cat nap from 3:45pm- 4:15pm or so.
-She eats 5-6 times a day.
-She loves her activity center and watching her brothers run around.  She seems much more engaged in what is happening around her lately.
-She still sleeps all swaddled up in her swaddle blanket.
-She puts her fingers in her mouth, but can't quite get her thumb in there!
-She is in size 2 diapers and mostly 3 month clothes.  She is just starting to wear some of her 6 month clothes. 
- She is SO ticklish and has the most adorable giggle!
