4 Months!

Ava Marie will be four months old tomorrow and today we took her to see her pediatrician for her four month check up.  She had to have four vaccinations today and we both handled it really well only crying for a minute.  Dr. Long was really happy with her development and she is right on track on where she needs to be with no concerns.  Below are her four month stats.

Ava is 26 inches in height which is the 97th percentile
Ava weighs 13.3 pounds which is in the 75th percentile
Ava is becoming more active each day.  She has been sleeping through the night now for ten nights!!!  She wakes up in the morning around 6:00 and we leave her in her crib until 7:00 and the entire time we can hear her through her monitor talking and cooing.  When we do go to get her from her crib she looks at us and gives us the biggest smile and starts kicking with excitement, it is the best!

We are doing tummy time with her several times a day now.  She is getting good at self soothing and will either suck on her thumb, her index and middle finger, or she will try and put her entire fist in her mouth.  She is drooling a lot which is a sign of teething, but so far I do not feel any teeth coming in.  

Overall Ava is a happy baby girl.  We have her down on a good schedule and unless it is close to her nap or feeding time, she is content to play, smile, and coo and to be loved.
