Nina turns four months today. This is a picture of her playing on the floor — one of her favorite activities, along with rolling over and over, standing up on her legs (with assistance), watching things happen in the kitchen, looking at trees and being lifted up into the “Super Nina” pose. That last one always gets her giggling. She also very much enjoys playing in the bed with her Dad when he gets up in the morning. She’s babbling quite a bit, and I swore today she said “Yeah!” when I asked her if she was hungry.

Nina had a doctor’s appointment yesterday, and she now weights 16 pounds, 7 ounces, which the doctor said is “literally off the charts.” So Nina is very healthy. The doctor seemed surprised at my ability to supply enough breast milk for this kind of growth. Not to be crass, but I’m quite pleased that these little 34B’s can keep up with the best of them.

Nina is sleeping through the night from about 8:30 to 6:30, although last night she awoke for a rare middle-of-the-night feeding. Maybe it’s a growth spurt. She’s also learning to take 3 good crib naps a day. I’ve discovered that nursing her before she goes down for a nap helps a lot (thanks for the advice, Grandmama). She celebrated her birthday by taking three naps of nearly an hour each. And this evening she has “Daddy Nite” while I’m at my class.
