Gemma is now a smidgen over four months old! She's getting so big and doing so much now. She is really interactive with us, chatters constantly, laughs, smiles all the time... although the flip-side to her development is that she throws pissy fits like a real kid every now and then, haha. I'm loving every second, though. She's very interested in toys and books and things like that now, too. Her hands/whatever she can grab is always in her mouth now. We're pretty sure a tooth is on it's way.
She's still nursing up a storm. Can't get her to take a bottle, as of yet. We've tried a few times, but without success. It's honestly not a big deal to me... I love nursing and have no desire to leave her yet, but I'm sure that will change once she gets bigger. At least it'd be a useful option if we ever needed it. Like last week when I was supposed to have jury duty. I wrote a letter and got out of it, luckily, but I was pretty worried. She loves her teething cookies. We're thinking about starting some rice cereal in the next couple of weeks, but Jane said it's up to us. It's not really necessary yet.
Alsooo, Gemma has been sleeping through the night for a few months now! It's wonderful... She usually goes down 8-8:30ish and sleeps until I have to get her up at 5:15 to take John to the Park-and-Ride. The only downside is how full my boobs are in the morning. Ouch!
She had her four-month check-up yesterday with Jane. We love her so much. Gemma weighed 14lbs 2oz, measured 24 3/4 inches long, and had a head circumference of 16 1/2 inches. She's hitting 70-75% on everything. Still no vacs. Jane is super-understanding and great about our decision.
I'll have to come back later to update on the rest of our familly-goings on. The Gem-bot wants to play!
