4 month appt.

So Aubrey is 4 months old now!!! Crazy, I know. We just went to her 4 month doc appointment and she had to get more shots, never fun. She only weighs 11 lbs, 10 oz. The doc said it's low, but should be okay because she started out small. She guesses that Aubrey's just using up a lot of energy because she NEVER stops moving! They'd like to wait to start cereal until she doubles her birth weight but she did say that if I'm anxious to start I can give her one bowl a day and just wait until she gains a couple more pounds to up it to three times a day... I, of course, was anxious, I even started a couple days before the appointment, so I am continuing to give her the one bowl a day. Aubrey seems to really enjoy it but she lacks patience. In between spoonfuls she yells at me like, "Hurry up!" I think it's cute which probably doesn't help!
Things just keep getting more fun around here. Aubrey is starting to giggle and is even trying to sit up already. She loves it when anyone gets on the floor and plays with her. Between work (nannying) and home most of my day is spent on the floor, but there's no place I'd rather be, even if it means that nothing gets done! Aubrey enjoys going to work with me. Her and Sahana (8 months) are becoming great friends. Today they fell asleep side by side as they stared at one another. It was precious! Since we've started Aubrey can now roll both directions, is getting really good at tummy time (seen on the first picture), and is just in an all around better mood on the days we go and play!
I don't want to feel like I got my degree for nothing, so, even though I only work part time, I try to implement some of the things I've learned throughout our day. At work and at home I try to have developmental play with Aubrey. We do Itsy Bitsy yoga, baby massage, reading aloud, and even sneak in some exercise for me, using her as weight of course! Silly baby has no idea that this is work, she thinks its all play, a win-win for everyone! These developmental games don't fill up an entire day and there is lots of free play where Aubrey can take charge and decide what she wants to do, which usually requires she be in my arms or walking around the neighborhood! We call her our little personal trainer because she never wants us to stop moving!
Well, its been a very speedy four months, but we've enjoyed every minute of it so far. I'll try to post more pictures, but days are filling up fast now that I'm working and Aubrey isn't sleeping as much during the day. Until next time........
