Roxy at Four Months

Roxy on her four month birthday

Here's what our sweet Roxy was up to between three and four months:

• Started scheming hands
• Had an ingrown toenail on her right big toe
• Rolls onto her side
• Grabs at toys
• Wears size 3 diapers
• Weighs 18 pounds 4 ounces and is 26.25 inches tall
• Survived another month of Pippa
• Most common nicknames: Little One, Sweetheart, Blue Eyes, Squishy, Big Squish (I know we need to stop calling her these last two before they stick - no one over the age of 2 would want to be called squishy or big squish, but she's just so squishy and I love squishing her and I can't help it! I LOVE squishing her bottom when she's facing in on the k'tan!)
• Loves diaper changes and baths - has from the get go
• Switched from an infant bucket car seat (that clicks in and out of the car) to a convertible car seat so she could be more up right to help with her acid reflux and hopefully make car rides less scream-y.
• Thanksgiving at Aunt B's house two hours away.  Screamed most of the way there and back.  The more upright convertible car seat didn't seem to make a difference...
• Still not a great nurser.  Sometimes Roxy will just scream and scream instead of latching even when I know she's hungry, even if I try to feed her before she's super hungry.  She's so impatient for the let down.  She'll suck three times then cry because the milk's not flowing. Rinse and repeat four more times.  She still only eats on one side but is super efficient once she gets going - like under seven minutes to eat.  
• Caught her second cold
• Better at tummy time but still not a fan
• Acid reflux is getting better.  She still spits a lot (often and amount wise) but it doesn't bother her.
• First haircut - her hair at the front was getting long and looking like a comb-over baby toupee combo so we snipped the ends of a few sections. Here's what it looked like before the haircut. 
  
• Blows raspberries
• Drools enough to need a bib
• Has smooth hands and palms (basically we love holding her hands)
• HUGE array of vocal sounds
• First time riding in the bottom seat of the double stroller (Before she would lie flat in the cocoon area of the double stroller while Pippa rode on top. That probably doesn't make sense unless you've seen it. Sorry.)
