February Update

This week Leighton went to the Dr. for her 4 month check up. The doctor told us what we already know, that we have a perfect baby girl. Her growth and development is right on track, her muscle tone is excellent, she is eating well, all and all it was an A+ check up. Leighton now consistently eats 6oz at a time, and has been sleeping through the night for weeks. Occasionally she will wake up in the middle of the night because she spit out her pacifier, but mom or dad just pops it back in and she is right back to sleep.

4 mo. old stats:
Weight: 12lbs 9oz, only 1 oz away from doubling birth weight, 50th percentile
Height: 23.75 inches, 50-75th percentile

With the weather improving, Landon wants to be outside all the time. He recently started saying the word "Elmo" at daycare, although mom and dad haven't heard it yet. His vocabulary has not grown much over the past few months, but he still babbles a lot in his own little language. He is also becoming the big helper at daycare, putting shoes away and feeding the dog. He is so proud to be able to do these activities and get the praise for it. I think he likes the little bit of extra attention it gets him.
