Wow I started this as a 4 month update, but Teagan isn't much of a day napper so my time with her napping is first house chores then the blog so I haven't had much time to update you all!!
4 month update:
My baby is 4 months old now!! AAHHHHH time is going by so fast! And she's growing and changing so fast too!! We just had her 4 month checkup this week actually (more shots) and the pediatrician says she's doing great!
Teagan now weighs 12 pounds 6 ounces- that puts her in the 15% : I asked the doctor if I should be concerned about the percentage drop (she was in the 50th % at her 2 month checkup) and he said he's not too concerned because she's doing so well, but he's going to have us come in, in another 4 weeks for a weight check. To make sure she's still putting on weight.
Her height is 25.5 inches long, putting her at the 80% for her age group. (at 2 months she was 98%) So she's still a giant, but not as giant haha. This is also pretty normal for the growth to slow down a bit and instead she'll start having growth spurts.
This being said the doctor is NOT concerned with her weight because of how STRONG, alert, and developmentally well she is.
At 4 months and 1 day Teagan rolled over all on her own from back to front (she had been easily rolling over from her tummy to back for about a month, but that's more just moving her arm and letting momentum take over). About a week later she started doing full rolls where she would start at one side of the carpet and roll all the way to the other side. (Now I definitely can't just plop her down and walk away for a second, she mobile by way of rolling!)
The day Teagan turned four months we were up in Phoenix visiting my parents and attending NASCAR at PIR. Here are some pics from that day:
We also celebrated Resurrection Sunday with the hubby's family and here's a picture from that day of all of us!
5 month update:
Teagan just turned 5 months yesterday! We had her followup with the pediatrician on Monday and she is now 13 pounds 8 oz. I'm not sure what percentile that puts her in, but the pediatrician is no longer concerned with her weight. She does however now have eczema and he gave us some special lotions to use and instructions for SHORT baths (Teagan is heartbroken over this one).
A new milestone we just noticed is Teagan can sit up without support now for short periods of time! Although, she would much rather have you hold her hands and stand.
Next month will be her baby dedication at our church (right before she turns 6 months old) so I'll be sure to have some pics of that!!
That's going to be all for now! (Free time is precious!)
Until Next time
Bre and Teagan
