Carlee is 4 months old and had her check-up today! Everything checked out beautifully, as always, and she is growing and developing just as she should.
She weighed exactly 14 pounds, which is in the 50th percentile. She was an enormous 26 inches long - the 97th percentile!! This was a huge jump from her last check-up!
The only issue Carlee has been having is sleep! She sleeps great at night, but naps during the day are almost non-existent. The doctor confirmed my thoughts that she should be sleeping her 12-13 hours at night AND taking 2 long naps during the day. SO, the plan is to put her on a nap schedule and force the issue. She is to go down for a morning nap 2-3 hours after she wakes up, and go down for an afternoon nap around 3 or 4 o'clock. I'm supposed to let her cry it out for up to an hour. I'm sure it will be tough at the beginning, but in the end she will learn to sleep and we will all be happier and more rested!!
I'm so proud of my beautiful little peanut and love her laid back, happy disposition!! She is such a trooper and puts up with a lot of jostling from her big brother!! She loves him though and is always smiling at him. In fact, when she is crying and I can't get to her right away, Joey walks over to her and she usually stops crying immediately! It is just too cute!
Here are a few recent pictures of our little beauty queen!!
