4 months old!

Josie is 4 months old today! We had her appointment on Monday afternoon and she has grown...more than they had predicted! She is 13.5 pounds (55%) and 25.25 inches (80th%).
I was shocked by the numbers! She hit her growth spurt for sure!
He said she was very healthy and looked and sounded excellent.


She is getting a little flat spot on the back of her head so he suggested we try having her side sleep for the next couple of months, flipping sides every other day to help things round out. I've heard from a few people now that they experienced that too. Curt asked "did we do something wrong" (he knew I was thinking it!) and the doctor said "no, you were blessed with a content baby who sleeps peacefully."

And we are blessed, Josie Rose is an amazing baby; calm, interested in things around her, and a lover! She is now really starting to enjoy her tummy time, she has rolled over about 10 times from belly to back in the past 3 weeks but not on a regular basis yet, blows bubbles, makes a motorboat sound, drools a lot, has laughed only a couple times so hopefully that comes soon because we can't wait to hear it, she yaps up a storm espescially in her crib when she wakes up, knock on wood..she's been sleeping through the night until at least 5:30 for about a week and a half now! Thank you God for our wonderful baby girl!
