The Morrows: Caroline's 4 months old!

The fourth month was so much fun for Caroline. She rolled over both ways for the first time. First she rolled from back to front on her playmat, and not too long after started rolling from her tummy to her back. She also started laughing a lot this month. I've tried to get video of it, but once the camera comes on, I'm not nearly as funny and just can't make her laugh. Caroline now rolls to her tummy in her crib and sleeps that way, which really helps her sleep better. We swaddle her under her arms now, but she still enjoys sleeping in her swaddle blanket. Her hair is long enough that we must pull her bangs back with a hair bow.

Caroline was such a sweet baby at her 4 month well baby appointment. Dr. Boston gave us the go ahead to give her baby cereal and baby food. She said her bottom gums are swollen and she is teething. She still wakes once a night for a feeding in addition to the dream feed at 10:00 (before I go to bed), but Dr. Boston said that's OK and not to start any kind of sleep training yet. Dr. Boston did hear a heart murmur and referred Caroline to a pediatric cardiologist. The cardiologist did an EKG on her and said it is an "innocent" murmur that she should outgrow. She doesn't need any medication or follow up. I'm very thankful for that. I too was born with a heart murmur and outgrew it so I guess she got that from her Mommy. Her stats are as follows:

weight: 13 lbs. 3 ozs.

height: 23 3/4"

head: 16 1/4"

Here's Caroline hanging with her friend Mason. She spent a lot of this month on her side like this. I love how they both have their hands in their mouth.

Caroline is sitting up well when supported, but I don't leave her sitting up without her boppy around her or something behind her. Look at that excitement!
