Margaret Ruth Thorne has been a part of our family for four months now.
At four months, Maggie
- is 11 pounds, 15 ounces (4%)
- is 24.20 inches (34%)
- eats 4-5 ounces (with about a tablespoon of rice cereal in the bottle) every three hours
- wears 3-6m clothing
- still wakes up about once a night to eat, but typically sleeps 7pm-6am with a dream feed between 9-10 and a night feeding between 2-3
- still loves the bouncy seat, but she has started to enjoy the Bumbo seat, the playmat, and simply laying on a blanket with toys
- still must be swaddled to be comfortable although she is outgrowing her current swaddles
- started acid reflux medication (Zantac). She is switching (fingers crossed) to Prevacid next week because the Zantac does not seem strong enough.
- still spits up after every feeding
- has rolled from her back to her tummy and from her tummy to her back!
- sleeps in her crib in her bouncy chair because the incline helps with the acid reflux
- loves to use the baby carrier to go on walks or do housework with Mommy. She will even fall asleep in it! :)
- enjoys "eating" her fist or holding it straight out to check out her new found arm
We are really starting to get to know our little girl's personality!
We love you, Maggie Ruth!
