4 month old Kinley

Kinley turned 4 months old at the end of the month. It's hard sometimes to see how big she's getting. We got out the baby walker the other day so she could sit up in it. As with anything, it keeps her occupied for about 5 minutes before she gets bored or feels trapped or whatever goes on in a baby head. 

At the doctor, Kinley weighed 16 pounds and half an ounce. She measures 25 inches long. I don't know what percentile that is or how it compares to Kella. Kinley is still wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Her hair is getting longer, but it is still very fine. The hair loves to stick up all over her head and is a pretty, light shade of red.

Kinley hasn't disappointed us with sleeping. She sleeps all night now and will take around 3 naps a day. The naps are a little sketchy as far a length. And, Kinley would rather sleep being held. But, I will trade naps for a full night of sleep.

Her biggest quirk is that she still refuses to take a bottle. We've tried different bottles and formula and breast milk. No luck. Luckily, she really only misses one feeding on the nights that I work.

Kinley is still pretty wary of people other than me or Andy. She definitely loves mommy best of all and can tell when I'm in the room and not holding her, even if someone else is. She lets her "angry baby" personality come out in her non-relenting screaming. 

But, really, she's a very happy baby for us. She loves to watch the family action and can usually tolerate being toted along  to different events.  I love this time of her wanting to be held all time, because I know this will pass. Sweet baby K, happy four months!
