Four Months!

Well, technically Sabine won't be four months old until this Friday. But she had her four-month appointment last Friday. She has grown quite a bit, she's now 24.25 inches long, which puts her in the 58th percentile, although she weighs only 11 lbs 13 oz., which is less than I was expecting. (That puts her in the 18th percentile for weight.) She's definitely been growing, we can feel it when we pick her up, and she's definitely a lot stronger, she's getting close to being able to hold herself up in a seated position.



I think she hasn't gained as much weight because of her reflux. A lot of her meals are still coming back up. We're hoping she'll start to outgrow this issue in the next couple of months, and the pediatrician upped her medicine dosage a little in the meantime.

She also is showing definite preference for a particular toy. Puppy is getting a lot of love (and slobber) these days. Puppy is a little...crustier than he was when we originally got him.



Sabine also got another round of vaccines at this doctor's visit, so Friday afternoon was pretty rough. (As much for me as for the little one, I think. I'm kind of a pansy when it comes to seeing my little girl get poked with needles.) Fortunately she woke up on Saturday in a much better mood, and we even made it out to Nana Lin's house for a change of scenery this weekend.

Dustin and I also went out on our first date since Sabine was born, on Saturday night. We saw Avatar in the theater. It was really nice to get out of the house and reconnect without any interruptions for a desperate search for a burp cloth/bib/pacifier. But we were both very happy to come home and peek in on a sleeping Sabine, especially since we were both a little cross-eyed from sitting three rows back with the 3-D glasses for two and a half hours.

Happy Valentine's Day!
