Carly's 4 Month Well-Check



Carly had her 4 month well-check appointment this week and things looked great. She's growing well and has hopefully developed some immunity to germs so she won't get sick as often. (Whew!)

Our only complaint to the doctor was about Carly's sleeping habit of waking every 2 hrs and screaming until she was fed. The doc encouraged us to start a "light" version of sleep training to help break Carly's bad habits since she no longer needs to eat so often. I'm happy to report that she's been sleeping 5-hr+ chunks almost every night. YAY!



Some of the fun things Carly is doing at 4 months old:
  • Holds her head up
  • Loves to sit up against pillows or in the bumbo
  • Likes tummy time!
  • Giggles and smiles all the time

  • Loves bath time
  • Can hold onto small toys and rattles

  • Loves her burp cloth just like Maddie did
  • Loves her paci

  • Her cry has changed from a newborn cry to a loud bird-like squawk
  • Eats really fast
