4 month check up

Sylvia had to see Dr. Bubolz twice this week.  At the beginning of the week it was for her cold. Today it was for her four month check up and shots.  Can you believe our baby girl is 4 months already? Time is flying by so quickly and she is growing up so fast! She weighs 12 lbs, and is 24 and 1/2 inches long.  Still a tall and skinny girl, but the doctor was pleased with her weight gain.  He told us we were doing a good job.  I mentioned something about her crazy sleep issues, and all he had to say was, "Some infants don't require as much sleep as others." Great. I know he wasn't going to have a magic answer, but I was hoping for maybe a little bit more. Oh well, we will keep plugging away at trying to get her to fall asleep on her own and stay asleep. She had a shot in each leg and one oral vaccine.  Her next check up will be in May. 

Allen and I took her to the park today before noon, before the wind started.  It was such a gorgeous morning! It would have been a crime to not spend some time outside.  Of course, spending time outside means putting sunblock all over Sylvia's fair skin.  Which also means a bath, but it's totally worth it! I can't wait til the trees put out their leaves and we can take a blanket and have picnic in the park.  For now, we have to use the stroller for shade. 

Grandma Brenda? Can you hear me? I can hear you, but I can't see you!

DAD! IT'S GRANDMA!

And then we had to take the phone away....UGH! Everything she gets ahold...straight into the mouth!

Today Sylvia talked to her Grandma Brenda on the phone.  She is really intrigued by our cell phones.  Maybe a bit too intrigued!
