Hey Ya’ll!!
MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR :)
Long time no talk! Hopefully everybody holidays were great.
Mine were awesome! I’m here today for a baby update..yayyy!!! This is Ryla girl
3 and 4 month update. Ya’ll when she turned 3 months it just flew by and the
next thing I know she turning 4 months. She is growing so fast and is changing
by the day.
At her 4 month appointment Ryla weighed 13.1 pounds and was
24 inches long. She can still get into 3-6 months clothes but she wears 6
months and size 1 or 3-6 month shoes. She is now on soy milk and drinks 4-5 oz
every 3-4 hours and sleeps through the night.
Some milestones she has reached is that when she’s on her
back she can turn to her side and halfway on her stomach. She hasn’t fully
mastered the whole back to stomach situation but I’m sure in a couple of weeks
she’ll be there. During feedings she grabs for the bottle to hold it and she
loves to rub my face while I’m feeding her. She can talk all day if she wanted
too but she loves to coo and laugh. She recognizes sounds and faces. When she sees her dad she just lights up, she starts
smiling and kicking her feet so she is definitely a daddy’s girl. She loves to
kick and pushes off on things with her feet. She has great neck and head
control and can lift and keep her head up while on her stomach. She can sit up
by herself for a couple of seconds and if you’re holding her she pushes herself
up so she can sit up…she nosey yall!
At her 4 month appointment we got the ok to start feeding
her stage 1 baby food fruits and veggies. We started with apples and came to
realize she’s not about that apple life. She doesn’t like them. So I mushed up
some banana and she loved it so we starting off with bananas then after 3 days we’ll
introduce another fruit or vegetable. Our method is introducing a new fruit or
veggie every 3 days. My plan is to make her baby food but we’ll see how long
that lasts!
Lastly, Ryla experienced her first real cold and stomach
virus (then I got her stomach virus smh which was the absolute worst). This all
started after her 4 month vaccinations. First was the 24 hour stomach virus
where she wasn’t holding any formula down and was sleeping all day. After
calling my friend who is a new mother, calling the on call doctor, and taking
her to the doctor she got diagnosed with the stomach virus. We kept her
hydrated with pedialyte and slowly introduced her back to formula while
decreasing the pedialyte until she was back to her 4 oz of formula. After the
stomach virus she got a cold.
She never had a fever but had congestion and a terrible cough. The cough has
finally eased up and she is finally coming back to her normal, unbothered self!
It’s so great to see Ryla’s personality come through. She is
a very chill, unbothered baby until she gets hungry or sleepy then another Ryla
comes out lol. It’s so exciting to see her grow and change so we can’t wait to
see what the future months have in store!
