Alyssa had her 4 month check up on Monday and another round of shots. She is now 14 pounds and 9 ounces. She was such a happy girl when we were waiting for the doctor. She was playing, laughing, talking. That happiness disappeared when she got her shots! One in each of her thighs. She cried so hard no sound came out. It was so heartbreaking to see her cry like that! I picked her up right after the nurse put the Band-Aid's on her and she stopped crying immediately. She was fine the rest of the day, happy and playing with grandma and grandpa.
What's New:
- Started laughing out loud one week before her 4 month birthday
- Reaches out to grab her toys and immediately putting it in her mouth
- Loves clasping her hands together
- Super curious
- Easily distracted when nursing, she likes to unlatch and see what's going on around her then back to nursing then unlatch to try to get my attention if I'm not looking at her. Once I look at her and smile, she'll smile at me and go back to nursing
- Swats at her toys when laying on her play gym
- Can sit on her own with support
- Loves dancing with mommy and daddy
- Loves sucking her thumb, index and middle fingers
- Loves biting her bottom lip
- And loves hitting her stomach while getting her diaper changed or what we call "playing her tum tum drum"
