4 Months Old

Eulee is now 4 months old!

Weight: 14 lbs 10.5 oz (75th percentile)

Height: 24" (50th percentile)

Head: 16.25" (50th percentile)

And here's what is going on with Eulee--

She is definitely awake and alert more often during the day now.  She loves to smile and coo.  Her laughs are still harder to get.  Her coos are longer and louder strings of sounds.

She loves to suck on her pointer finger.

She still despises tummy time.

She started sitting in the Bumbo!  And now she's not a fan of her bouncey seat.  I think mostly because it's reclined.  She loves to push her head forward to try to sit up, so I think she doesn't like to lean back as much now.

She has the most awesome hair ever...without hair product.

She holds her hands together a lot, like she's mulling things over. (The way she has her hands in the Bumbo picture above.)

She stops crying when she sees one of us walking toward her.

She takes pretty good naps during the daytime, but she also only takes naps at nighttime!  To our dismay, she doesn't sleep through the night yet.  She likes to wake at least 2 times in the middle of the night.  We are reaching our limit.  Fortunately, we've gotten the "ok" from our pediatrician to begin sleep training.  Merry Christmas, Eulee!  After looking over Eli and Evie's stats at this age, I can't feel guilty about letting Eulee cry it out.  Eulee is the same weight and almost the same height as Evie when she was 9 MONTHS!  We trained Evie around 3-4 months, so I know that Eulee can do this if we just teach her.  There are going to be some sleepless nights for us, but it will be worth it if Eulee can learn to sleep.  I think she will be such a happier baby once she can do this on her own....we will be happier as well!

 Happy 4 months, Eulee!
