I can’t believe my darling Kloey is already 4 months old! As she is getting older we are noticing that life is somewhat returning to a new normal. She is learning and growing so quickly that at times I find myself wishing she would slow down. Knowing that Miss Kloey is the fourth and final member of our family, I am finding that I’m holding on and savoring each new milestone she is reaching. She might as well be my first child with how much I dote on her and how excited I get when she does something new! Okay, enough bragging. Here are Kloey’s stats:
Height – 25.5 inches — 91%
Weight – 15 lbs 4 oz — 75%
Head Circumference – 41.5 cm — 75%
Kloey loves her activity mat, the swing, and being held by mommy. Surprisingly, she likes tummy time and has excellent head control. We just put her in the Bumba seat for the first time and she did great! She still loves the Bjorn, but I finally do not have to wear it around the house! Kloey is becoming more independent and willing to sit in her infant seat. Kloey eats every three hours and sleeps 10 hours at night. She reaches for objects on her activity mat and can grasp objects briefly in her hand – she sometimes gets frustrated because once she grabs an object she has a hard time letting it go. Kloey laughs, squeals, babbles, and has expressive conversations. She turns her head to familiar voices and sounds. She can follow moving objects and can raise her head and chest when she is on her tummy. Kloey has rolled over a handful of times.
In Kloey’s future is an introduction to solids! She loves to watch me eat and me eating has been known to stop her from crying! She is able to sit in her Bumba seat with little support and will open her mouth when a spoon is held to her lips. All signs are pointing to the fact that Miss Kloey is ready to eat! Her pediatrician says any time is an okay time to start introducing solids. In fact, Kayden started rice cereal at this very time and we didn’t break her, so we think we’ll try with Kloey too! Stay tuned for her first rice cereal experience!
