Weight

Let’s just say she is growing well and getting chubbier by the day.  I did notice, however, that her waistline has decreased a tad, because I have had to tighten the snaps on her cloth diapers a notch.  She’ll be going for her 4-month checkup early next month, so we’ll get an official weight reading then.

Height/Length

Again, we’ll get her measured for length next month, although I must say that Hannah has been doing a lot of stretching!

Motor Skills

• Hannah’s coordination skills have improved a lot, and she can now finger, touch and play with her toys hung over her head.  Sometimes she would even “talk” to them!
• She loves her tummy time, and being able to look around when on her front.  I have also been allowing her some exercise time, closely supervising her rolling back and forth on a flat and soft surface like the bed.
• She has started salivating a little, and sometimes blowing raspberries.
• Her head support is also getting stronger by the day, although she still wobbles her head a little when we put her in the Bumbo, so we still have to supervise her.
• Very good at kicking and struggling.

Communication and Social Skills

• Eye contact and focus is now better, and you know, I just love looking and talking to her, looking at her big brown eyes!
• Hannah is becoming very sociable, and will smile almost immediately when we talk to her, or sing to her.
• She will giggle sometimes too, and laugh out loud when I tickle her.
• She will turn in the direction her name is called.
• She will sometimes open her arms wide when she senses I am about to pick her up in my arms.
• She likes to make a cooing “rrrrr” sound when I speak to her, as if in reply to what I say.
• And, as is apparent in our family gene pool, she is one persistent baby, with loud and heart-wrenching cries when she needs attention.

Others

Being a light sleeper, Hannah will stir from her sleep at the slightest sound.  But immediately when I carry her in my arms, she will fall back to sleep.  Once, her Daddy managed to calm her down by holding her hands away from her face when she woke up and she slept on for 4 hours straight!  We are trying this method now 🙂

Food and Feeding

She is 100% on Mommy’s milk.  Still regurgitating off and on, but hopefully it will be a thing of the past soon.
