Okay, I'm a little behind on this one -- mostly because I don't want to admit that Mary is already four months old! Despite the "la la la" I have going on in my head, there is no denying she's growing. She had her four month check-up at the pediatrician this week, and she weighed in at 15.5 pounds, which puts her in the 80th percentile. And, 95th for height at 26 1/4 inches!
Mary continues to be a super easy baby for us...when we're with her. Or, more specifically, when I'm with her. She does not like taking a bottle, so she's not winning any favorite granddaughter prizes yet. She's most happy when she can happily observe her big sisters doing what they do best --- creating pure chaos for her entertainment. So, maybe they'd do that anyway, but she's the happy audience!
She's also loving her little playmat now, and just beginning to reach for her toys and explore things with her hands and mouth. Her favorite combination of these two things is sucking her thumb. She's become a pro in the last week, and she usually finds her thumb in the middle of the night too, although this habit has not fully replaced her other habit of waking to nurse. But, that's perfectly okay. It buys me some extra cuddle time with her.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find that "pause" button I've been looking for on Mary. I'm sure it's there somewhere.
