Sydney four months old

Yesterday, Sydney had her four month check up. She has grown so much. She now weighs 14 lbs, 55th percentile and is 25 1/2 inches long, 90th percentile. She has grown two inches in the last two months. She really is "growing like a weed." She is so much fun. While I am feeding her, she likes to put her fist in my mouth or try to grab my nose. Sometimes it takes a long time to feed her because she just wants to talk to me or smile at me.

Sydney can hold her own bottle, sorta. Landen never learned to hold a bottle until he was probably 9 months because he rarely had a bottle. But poor Sydney has a bottle quite frequently, at least one every three days or so. With the second child, you learn to leave them more often. With Landen, I never left him with someone. That is probably why he is such a HUGE mama's boy.

I can't believe she is four months old already. But she is at the fun stage. The first two months are kinda boring, but I do love to just hold them. Then they start to get their personalities and they sure do make you laugh. She is just so much fun and I love her to peices.

She has had an ear infection. That explains why she has been waking up during the night. She has been such a great sleeper since I brought her home from the hospital. She used to sleep from 9 p.m. till 5:30 a.m. usually 5 out 7 of the nights. Recently, she has been waking up two to three times at night. I was telling this to a lady I visit teach and she told me that Sydney probably had an ear infection because when her babies used to sleep through the night and then started to have frequent wakings, that more than likely they had an ear infection. So sure enough, yesterday confirmed that. So sadly we have to go back to the Dr. next week to get her shots, since she didn't get them yesterday. That is if her ear infection has cleared up by then.
