On the day Miranda turned 4 months old, I put her down in the playroom on her back. When I came back in the room, she had rolled onto her tummy and was looking quite proud of herself, as you can see in the photo above. Miranda has also discovered her feet and loves to grab them when she’s laying on her back. Sometimes she’s successful in getting her toes into her mouth!
At 4 months old, Miranda is a joy. She’s happy to play with toys, ride in her stroller, or hang out in the beco. She’s waking up a little more often at night, courtesy of the 4 month sleep regression, but is consistently sleeping in her crib for naps and at night. Miranda loves her big sister, as evidenced by her wide grins when she sees Natalie.
Miranda is happy nearly all of time—even today after having four shots, she was only mildly fussy. Traveling in the car is improving. The one frustrating thing is that she has learned to pull her binky out of her mouth. She’s working on it, but still doesn’t have the hand-eye coordination to put it back in. I suspect that once she master’s that, we can stop swaddling her for sleep.
We took her to the doctor today for her 4 month check up. The doctor says she’s doing great. Miranda is now:
26.5 inches (97%)
15 pounds, 1 ounce (90%)
