4 Month Update

I have found that since having Addison is weird how time registers in your head. I think it is crazy that Addison is already 4 months old but then again I can't remember life without our beautiful baby. It's like time is flying by but then you take a step back and I am like, really it has only been 4 months? We had Addison's 4 month dr. apt today and she did wonderful as usual. She is 25.75 inches long (grown 7 inches since birth!) and that puts her in the 95th percentile for length. She was 13lbs 4ozs which puts her in the 50th percentile (better than less than 5th percentile like she was at 2 months). So basically we have a long, skinny, perfect peanut! We discussed with our doctor Addison's separation anxiety and the doctor did confirm that she was young to be doing that but she has seen babies as young as Addison do it before (normal age is 6-9 months old) and we also discussed Addison's refusal of the bottle and solid food (normal for exclusively breastfed babies). The bottom line is she told us we have a strong willed (bull-headed) "high maintenance" little girl on our hands! Good thing is she will be a leader and not a follower when older, bad thing is we get to struggle with her while she is a baby and can't communicate with us! We are starting baby sign language this month and we are very excited about that! All in all we are learning more and more with each passing day and loving her more and more with each passing second!
