Ava at Four Months

Four Month Photo Shoot

Bunny Comparison.......she had to hug and chew on the bunny.

This picture cracked me & Clint up!
Ava is saying, "Mom, you are embarrassing me with the naked pictures!"
She wasn't so crazy about the basket!
What Ava is doing at 4 months:
1. She finally transitioned from her swing to her crib!!! I thought it would be difficult, but it only took one night of adjustment. She still usually sleeps from 11pm until 6:30 or 7 am.
2. She has rolled over 5 times
3. She jabbers and giggles on and off. She will be vocal one week and then more quiet the next.
4. She knows mommy and daddy. Several times I have handed her to someone else and she sticks her bottom lip out and starts crying.
5. She has learned to throw a fit when she is hungry. We just can't get that bottle to her fast enough.
6. She likes for me to sing to her when I rock her.
7. She plays with her rattles and small toys and will chew on anything within arms reach.
8. She pulls her blanket over her eyes when she wants to sleep during the day.
9. She will stay up for hours if we are away from home, but gets cranky if she stays up more than two hours at a time during the day at home.
10. She likes tummy time a bit more now that she can roll over.
AND BIG NEWS 11. She used her little potty four times! (Two #1s and Two #2s) We are just now starting to try Infant Potty Training. My friend Melanie told me about this and she successfully potty trained her little girl. We are going to give it a go, but I tell Ava, "no pressure!"
4 month stats:
Weight 14 lbs 6 oz (68th percentile)
Height 24 and 3/4 inches (61st percentile)
