4 Months!

Carson was 4 months as of November 16th! I have finally pulled myself out of the editing fog that I have been in and have a minute to write about our sweet girl.

Stats:
Weight: 13lbs. 15.8oz. (50th percentile)
Height: 24.5in. (50th percentile)

At 4 Months:

Carson is a super happy baby. She smiles at anyone that will give her a few moments.
She is rolling from her back to her belly like a champ. She started doing this at about 3 1/2 months. She still refuses the belly to back roll.
She adores Reed. He can make her smile just by walking by. It is the sweetest thing to see.
Carson got her two front bottom teeth at about 3 1/2 months. She likes to put anything and everything straight into her mouth and sometimes it is her fingers or ours, ouch!!
During her 4th month we went in for a nasty cough. It was nothing the first time, but when I took her back a few days later because it had gotten worse, it had turned into baby bronchitis. Apparently, babies can't get bronchitis, but our pediatrician said that is what it was. So, she was on antibiotics for just over a week and that knocked it out.
She is back to sleeping so good. We had a bought while she was sick and on the antibiotics where she was waking up multiple times a night, but that has subsided, phew. It is hard to go back to waking up multiple times a night after getting a full night's sleep for so long, for me, not Carson, ha!
She loves to be naked. She gets so excited when we pull her clothes off and let her roll around in just her diaper before her bath.
She loves hearing the sound her fingernails make when she scratches on things.
We went through a short period where if we were not a home and someone else was holding her, she would make the most pitiful face and then start crying. Poor thing. The pediatrician said that this is completely normal. We think we may have gotten her out of it by making sure we hold her for a bit to get her comfortable before passing her off.
She still refuses to take a bottle, meaning I can only be away from her for a short amount of time. I am hoping that she is going to figure it out soon.
She is not a very good napper. It is rare for her to take two good naps every day. She takes a few short naps but only if we hold her. She will take a longer nap if we swaddle her.
Girlfriend loves to be held. It should come as no surprise that our house is usually in disarray and we have to eat takeout, because she refuses to let me put her down for longer than a few minutes. Little stinker.
She continues to be chatty. She makes the cuteness little face when she is trying to talk. I swear, I think she tried a "duh-duh" sound the other day. I am sure she will probably say "dada" first.
