Tessa had her 4-month check-up yesterday. All's hunky dory. She's just over 12 lbs and is 23 in long. Which means she's getting herself in proportion; both of those measurements are in the 20s for percentile. As the doctor said, "She had a little bit of extra chunk at the beginning." And no surprise here: her head is in the upper 70s for size. Not as impressive as her sister's 90-whatever, but we gotta get a little of me in there somewhere.
She's chilled out a little bit over this week. Although the earnest chewing and drooling remain in effect, no other signs of teething seem forthcoming. That weeks was just one of those baby times, I guess, where your guess is as good as mine.
We're starting a new project this week. It's time for Tess to be in her own crib in her own room. We've started to wake each other up in the night for no reason except it's noise. And naptime in her crib wouldn't be a bad thing either, just to reinforce "crib equals sleep" and because it's always good to start like you intend to finish. So today was the first day to try her out for a nap in her room. It took me 20 minutes of singing her favorite song to get her to fall asleep, but she did. And let me put her back to sleep after she woke up 15 minutes later. I'm guessing this will be a shorter nap than she'll normally go in the stroller, but we have to start somewhere!
