4

Braelyn Faith turned 4 months old on October 21! She gets to be more fun every day. She is big enough now to play in the ExerSaucer and loves it. I love it because it is finally something that she and Em can play together. It is so cute. Em sits on the outside and shows her how all the toys work. It is absolutely precious to listen and watch! Braelyn always wants to be either sitting up straight or standing so the ExerSaucer is perfect. When she is in her car seat, in her swing, or laying in your lap she is contstantly trying to do sit-ups to get upright! She is smiling much of the time but when she wants something, you better get in a hurry because she wants it five minutes ago! I love the way she always has her hands folded. The funny part is they are not just folded but she is squeezing so tight...her knuckles and fingertips are white! She sleeps from about 8:30 til 5:30 or 6. She loves her bath, many times sleeping through most of it. She will turn from her stomach to her back if she gets good and tired of tummy time! The older she gets, the more people tell us that she looks like her big sister, the biggest difference being those big brown eyes! She went in for her well baby visit on Monday the 24 and he said that she was doing great. She has definitely hit a growth spurt. She was 14 pounds 7 ounces(70%), and 24 3/4 inches(70%) and her head was 40 1/2 centimeters(35%). He gave us the go ahead to start on cereal and after a month of cereal she can try some veggies. He gave us a medicated oil to help with a patch of cradle cap on the back of her head. If that doesn't work then we are going to have to try soy formula because he said that cradle cap can sometimes be a reaction to the formula. She had to get to shots and one oral vaccine...poor baby!
