Tova's 4 month check up


Here are Tova's stats from this weeks check up.  She's gained two lbs in two months which I'm told is just what is expected.  Little sister had me worried as to whether nursing was going to work out this time because of a really stuffy nose for basically the whole last month but she pulled through it...we both cried a lot but Nick helped us keep it together.  We are officially on date five of sleeping well!  Cross fingers and toes please!!

So now to share a few things about Tova so I can remember 10 years from now. :)
Likes:

* the water...be it bath or the pool we visited last week this kid is happiest when she is splashing around.
* her bro...she just stares and stares at Deven.
* her thumb...thank goodness.  I'm all for whatever works but she just never caught on to the pacifier so thankfully she found her thumb and is currently using it to sooth HERSELF!!
* school...she laughs and giggles every time we get out of the car to go to school.
* raspberries...she talks and gurgles all the time especially when she's being thrown up in the air or dancing with daddo.

Dislikes:
* heat...let's just say she had a cold and it was 85 on her room.  No fun.
* being left alone while laying down...in a swing, a saucer or bouncy chair is acceptable for an unspecified period of time to be determined by Tova!
* sleeping...though this has started to change, for the first 4months of her life sleeping was just not a priority for this lady.
* swaddling her right hand...feet and left hand are acceptable.
* turning over...this could be in both groups but the screaming after she's gotten over because she doesn't know what to do next makes it go in the dislike category. 

So that's Tova is a nut shell so far.   She's finding her niche in our little family and I am excited to watch her grow!
