4 Months

Mae measured 13lbs (25th %) and 25" (75%) at her 4month appointment. We did Ben's 4year checkup at the same time and he was 42lbs and 42" (90% for both). They both got shots and Ben was amazing for all 3 of his - asked us to not do the last 1 after the 1st 2 but he didn't fight it and never even cried. Mae......well, let's just say she started screaming before they even gave her the shot and never stopped.Mae has learned to roll over (front to back and back to front) since her 3month birthday but she only does it when she feels like it. Other times she will lie there and scream so you can flip her. And when she screams there is nowhere you can hide in the house to block it out :) She has a REALLY high pitch squeal when she's laughing or when she's screaming because she's mad. Overall though she has been a very laid back child. If we're home she does prefer to have someone's direct attention and doesn't like to play by herself (she makes this 'owl' sound with her mouth shut constantly until someone returns to her), but once she has that she is perfectly happy and not fussy. And when we're out she is content to be in the stroller watching the activity around her or sleeping in the carrier on me.

I misread this at first and thought, gee, Ben was 42 pounds when he was four months old? Yikes, I knew he was a little chunky then, but 42 pounds. Then I realized he weighs 42 pounds now!

Phew!
