Times, they are a changin'!

Wow!  What a difference a week makes in the life of a four month old!  

Evie had her four month appointment on Monday.  She's a very healthy baby with "good muscle tone".

Weight: 14lb. (43rd percentile)

Length: 24.5" (47th percentile)

Head Circumference: 15.75" (33rd percentile, we think)

Up until Tuesday, Evie had been eating a 7oz. bottle in the morning, 3 6 oz. bottles during the day and another 7 oz. bottle before bed.  These were evenly spaced at 3 hours apart throughout the day.  Everything I had been reading on eating, including the info we got from the doctor said she should be able to go 4-5 hours between feedings.  Well, her fussiness and screams said differently.  Until Tuesday.  She went 3 hours and 15 minutes.  Wednesday she went 3 hours and 30 minutes.  Thursday she went 3 and a half hours also, but was able to hold out for 4 hours before bed without issue.  And Friday...she did 8 oz. bottles (not always drinking all of it) 4 hours apart.  No issues at all.  We'll be starting rice cereal before we know it!

Evie is also a talker.  Or she really tries to be one.  Up until this week her "talking" has been a spit laced coo.  Well, she has now mastered the clear "Oooh".  She loves practicing it and I love hearing it.  Here's a sampling.  

In addition to "oooh"ing, Evie now giggles!  It just happened tonight.  Darin grabbed the camera so we have video!  Music to our ears!

Won't be long until she's rolling over, either.  She knocked her nuk out the other day and I went in her room to put it in and had to run back out to get the camera because I thought for sure she was goin' over. She didn't, but it will not be long!

We are in awe at how she is growing.  It's amazing to see this miracle change before our very eyes.  I love being a mom!
