Addison's 4 month well-baby was on the 14th... even though technically she is at 4 1/2 months. She is 16.3lbs now which is at the 97th percentile. Her head Circumference was in the 90th percentile as well. The nurse measured her length as 24 inches. That measurement seemed off to me since two months ago she was 23.5 and I figured she had grown more than a half inch. This same nurse measured Addie at her first checkup a few days after she was born and was off on the length then too, so Shane and I decided to check the numbers ourself. Sure enough, we found that Addison is at 25 inches. Of course Addie had to get shots at this checkup, but she did really well.
Milestones:
First Family Reunion: Sunday the 12th was Addison's first family reunion. The Sutter reunion (my mom's side of the family) is held every year in Bloomington, IL at Miller Park. Prizes are given away for youngest/oldest, furthest traveled, etc. Addison won youngest female in attendance and we won furthest traveled!
Discovering limbs: Addie loves to watch her hands, but recently she seems to have discovered her feet. It's so funny because she will be sitting up and raise one of her legs. She will then notice her foot and toes wiggling and won't take her eyes off! It's really cute to watch.
Discovering Own Reflection: I'm not sure if she knows it's actually her, but she LOVES to see her reflection. Shane and I have held her in front of the mirror before and she smiles back but it's usually at our reflection. I decided to put her in front of one of our floor length mirrors in the bathroom to see what she does and it was hysterical to see her interact with her twin. I wasn't able to get a video but I included LOTS of pictures below.
Sitting up: Any time we lay Addie down, especially when she's at an incline, she tries to sit up. She can pretty much sit up on her own for a few seconds as long as we position her. We always have to be nearby though because any second.....TIM-BER!
Standing: For a while, it seemed like Addison had NO interest in using her legs for anything but kicking. Recently though, she seems to be trying to stand. Mainly when we have her in our laps and have her facing us, she will straighten her legs out and stand up with assistance.
