Lucy had her four month check up last Friday. She weighed 12 lbs, 11 oz. and is 24 1/2 inches long! Dr. Bernstein said she looks great and that she'll be ready to start solid foods in the next month or so. We went back to Cranial Tech last Monday and they felt like she has made great progress. They recommended getting the DOC band, but after looking at her pictures, we feel that it might be best to just wait a while. Our main concern was Lucy's jaw alignment, but that has corrected itself and her eye symmetry is better as well. There is still a small flat spot on the right back side of her head, but once she grows hair, I don't think you'll notice! If she gets to be 6 months old and it looks like it's getting worse, we'll look into it.
We've been having lots of fun. Lucy sits up well now with a little support and she loves to put toys and her hands in her mouth. She's doing better with her tummy time and starting to figure out that she can use her arms to help her! She's working on rolling over and gets to her side but then stops. When we play together, she likes you to help her roll back and forth, but she's not ready to give herself that extra push. Instead of rolling to reach a toy she wants, she uses her legs to scoot herself around on her back until she gets it.
Make sure to look at the new pictures in her 3 month album and a few new ones in the 4 month album. It seems like we hardly take pictures anymore but I guess that's because we're too busy playing to stop! :) If it stops raining soon, we're going to take a trip to the library and as soon as we have a nice day we'll go get Lucy's 1st pumpkin. Check back soon for new pictures!
