Today Little Lylah is 4 months. She is getting so big and becoming less and less of a baby and it is already making me sad. I have mixed emotions because I can't wait till she can sit up and crawl, but then that just means she will be older and I still want her to be my little baby. We went to the Dr. today and her weight is 13.95lbs and height is 24 3/4. She is 70th percentile in weight and 50th percentile in height. He said we can start cereal in months 4 and 5 and so I think we are going to give that a shot. Now a question for all you moms out there, the Dr. gave me some forms to read about starting a baby on cereal and to only start with a tablespoon in one feeding. Which feeding have you done it on, the one right before she goes to bed or what? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Pictures will come soon!
Here are some things about her:
Loves bath time and is learning to splash with her hands and feet.
Hates getting out of the bath and being cold
Loves for Sean to pick her up out of her bed in the morning
Likes being in whatever room we are in, if I am cooking she has to be in her bumbo watching.
Loves sitting in her bumbo
Likes watching her Baby Einstein video
Hates being on her tummy
Drools all over the place
She thinks its funny to laugh while she is eating
Rolls over every now and then from tummy to her back
Sleeps like a champ
Naps like a champ
Grabs toys and puts them to her mouth
Loves talking to people
Laughs really hard when you shake her or tickle her tummy
Laughs when someone blows noises
Loves kisses from Abby
Freaks out when someone she doesn't know messes with her.
She loves being in a pool or sprinklers
Shes a go with the flow kind of gal!

4 months! I can't believe it! We did our rice cereal feeding right before bed so Ryder would sleep longer before his next feeding. He didn't LOVE rice cereal, so if you find she doesn't oatmeal's a good choice too!
I was going to say pretty much the same thing that Bethany did... cereal at bedtime, and if she doesn't like it with formula or breastmilk, then mix it with apple juice... oh, and it could make her a bit constipated, so be sure to pick up some prune juice to have on hand. It usually does the trick :) It is hard to see them get bigger, but it gets more fun each day!
