Here are her 4 month stats:
Weight: 14 lbs (44th percentile)
Height: 24 1/2 in (50th percentile)
Head Cir: 16 1/4 (68th percentile)
Eliza is the cutest little thing! She is so quick to give you a smile and is getting chattier and chattier every day. If one of the kids starts yelling or crying, she will stick out her lip in a pout and if you don't immediately console her, she'll start crying as well.
She's in 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. This last month she had a hair tourniquet, on her toe, which scared the heck out of me. She was in the bath when I noticed it and immediately took her out and yelled for Michael. It didn't seem to bother her until we tried to get it off and it got a little worse before we finally got it all the way off. Poor thing. Luckily we caught it early.
Eliza had her first big road trip this month when we went to California on New Years for a few days to go to the beach and to Disneyland with family. She didn't do great in the car since she still hates the car, but we all survived! :-)
Eliza likes toys and is getting good at holding them. They all immediately go into her mouth. She likes the Bumbo for short periods and also likes the playmat. She likes others to be playing with her and doesn't like to be left alone for very long. This isn't usually a problem since she's the fourth kid! All her siblings adore her.
Eliza usually nurses about 7 times in a 24 hour period. Two of those nursing sessions are in the middle of the night. She has never even been close to sleeping through the night, but she is usually still pretty good about eating and then going back to sleep. She still sleeps in the swing, swaddled and with a binky. She loves the swaddle and sleeps so much better that way, so it'll be hard to wean her out of it. She still spits up a ton, but it doesn't seem to bother her very much and she's gaining weight so I haven't worried about it too much. She is definitely the biggest puker of all my kids! She will usually take a bottle if necessary.
She has suddenly started disliking the bath a whole lot more. More often than not, she'll start crying when I put her in. Hopefully this will change when she learns how to sit and she can sit in there and play. Eliza can't sit on her own yet but I can tell that she is starting to get more sturdy.
Eliza prefers to be held facing out so that she can see what's going on. She is sweet and beautiful and we absolutely love her to pieces!
