Alyssa 4 months

Well my dear, you can see that Mommy is once again behind on the monthly updates on you  :)  But don't worry, Mommy writes down every milestone in her planner as they happen so I won't forget.

This was a busy month for you little girl!  You are growing like a weed and are now 13 lbs 9 oz. and 24 inches long... your head still is peanut sized and in the 10th percentile :) You are still on the Zantac once a day and the Prevacid twice a day for the reflux.  We are really hoping that sometime soon we can take you off of the Zantac.  You want to crawl so badly!  You get up on your little knees and rock back and forth.  You stare at your brother running around and I know that you want to be running around with him.

You are starting to sleep a bit better... some longer stretches during the day, and partying less at night  :)  I've started just feeding you one time during the night and then just replacing your pacifier any other times that you cry.  Mommy is looking forward to the day that you can put your pacifier in your mouth on your own!

We felt so bad for you in mid-October when you caught your brother's cold.  The exact day you started to get sick was Oct. 19th.  We had to run the warm mist humidifier in your room for several nights, and I elevated your crib.  We felt so bad for you... it was hard for you to eat because you were so snuffly, and sleeping was hard too because you love your pacifier so much.

I know I say this all the time, but we seriously can't believe how big you are getting, and how much you are changing every day.
