Kendall is 4 Months!

 This is long overdue…Kendall had her 4 month appointment today. What a big girl! She weighed 18 lbs and 8 ozs (99th percentile) and was 27 inches long (also 99th percentile). Both the nurse and Dr. Tsang couldn’t believe how big she is. To say the least she is a healthy girl! Mommy and Daddy’s biggest pet peev of Kendall’s is her throwing up! ALL THE TIME! Just this morning before we left for the doctor’s she threw up all over me and I had to change my clothes. Then at the doctor’s office I think she threw up about 10 times (no exaggeration!). Needless to say I had to change my clothes again when I got home. For the most part she keeps it off herself because it is projective. Kevin and I did talk to Dr. Tsang about it. She called it a “Happy Spitter,” obviously she is still gaining weight, so no worries there. But she is worried about some of the bile coming through her esophagus again and again. The plan is to try cereal and hopefully that will help keep it down. If not, we are going to have to start giving her baby zantac. We HOPE that the cereal will settle her stomach down! Our other concern was that we think she doesn’t poop that much – only once or twice a week. But the doctor assured us that that was pretty normal for a breast fed baby. But when that poop comes, IT COMES! So gross when poop goes all the way up her back…ick!

Kendall is doing so good at reaching for toys and she is starting to hold on to things. She likes to follow her brother all across the room with her eyes. Parker loves playing with her and entertaining her. She really enjoys her play mat and her saucer. Whenever she is laying on her back, Kendall tries to sit up. She is going to have the strongest ab muscles ever! When she is in her crib and she hears up walk in, she “sits” up and smiles. She is close to sitting up all by herself; I’m sure she will do that before we know it! Kevin and I think she might be getting tooth because she always has something in her mouth. Some nights she gets a little fussy and drools like crazy! Kendall also loves to stand up. I think it probably feels better on her stomach instead of being in the sitting position. But she is so strong and her balance is so good!

After bath time each night (baths every night are a must because she always smells like puke), she likes to look at herself in the mirror. After the bath and some time to check herself out :) off to get into her jammies. Way easier said then done! She struggles allowing us to straighten her arms to put her arms in her sleeves. And she always grabs the inside of her sleeves making it so tricky to get the job done. Parker and I like to sing “The Hokey Pokey” song to help her relax and get her clothes on. And speaking of clothes, she grows out of them so fast! We are just past being 4 months old and she is in 12-18 months clothes.


Christmas break started this past weekend and it is so nice to home with my kiddos!
