On June 16, Maddy had her 4-month checkup with Dr. Macedo.
Height: 25 in.
Weight: 13lbs, 2.5 oz.
Head circumference: 15.5 in.
She has a mild case of thrush, so I have to give her some cinnamon flavored mouthwash four times a day. I sterilized all the nuks in our house (at least all that I could find). I really should sterilize them more often, maybe once a week?
Maddy is still my easy child, letting Ella rule the house still. She takes a good morning and afternoon nap, and we put her to bed shortly after Ella's bedtime. She likes to listen to stories when I read to Ella and likes the pictures in the books. She enjoys a long morning walk in our new double stroller.
Yeah garage sales! I found this Graco Duoglider just last week and it's been great. It's harder to push and steer, but at least we can all go out every day. I'm getting my exercise. Grayer join us too! I just tie his leash onto the stroller and off we go. He helps to pull us along :) I'm sure it's a funny site!
Rice cereal - Maddy's first taste of food yesterday and today. She liked sucking on the spoon and slurping down the mixture. What she really prefers: Popsicles. A few tastes can't hurt her, right? She likes the cold on her gums.
Baths, what baths? I try to shoot for once a week. Ella gets a bath every day, but Maddy just doesn't get as dirty. When we do give Maddy a bath it is a huge ordeal because big sister HAS to help with her own wash cloth. It's really very cute but also messy and takes more supervision.
Diapers... we moved on to size 2 now. She tends to poop only a few times a day, but they are BIG poops, so we need a BIG diaper to hold them all in. Still, we often have leaks.
So that's mostly a baby, right... eats, poops, sleeps. She really is more exciting than that. She smiles, laughs, talks in her own baby language to Mama, grabs objects, puts her nuk in and out of her mouth, plays with her toes, and turns on the fishy kick-n-play bubbles and music in her bouncy seat. And she loves kisses on the lips.
Yeah, we love her lots!
