Kenna turned 4 months old the day before Thanksgiving! She got to travel to the Menahga and Park Rapids area for the first time, and she saw so many people. She had a very busy weekend!

| teary eyes...so upset about being in her carseat for the long ride home |
(Shoot...Joni, I didn't realize we didn't get a pic of you holding her!!)
She also started daycare a few weeks ago when I went back to work, and she seems to really enjoy a change of scenery. The only problem is that she still refuses to drink much from a bottle, so I've been going over to feed her on my lunch breaks. Even so, she still hasn't grown much since she was three months old and thirteen pounds. She's maybe a couple ounces over that. I suspect that she was on track to reach fourteen pounds by four months, because her thighs were really starting to chunk up, but maybe lost some of it when she started missing a couple feedings each day. Her legs are pretty thin again. Her doctor wants us to start trying some baby oatmeal to help her gain some weight, so we'll see where she's at in a month. I'm really not ready to start giving her solids yet!! But I'll do whatever it takes to get some weight back on her.
She is up to 27 inches long now (from 24 in. at her 2-month), so that's a good sign at least. She's in the 90-something percentile for height! :o

Kenna was such a trooper at her appointment last night, even though we sat in the waiting room for almost an hour and I had no idea that the whole time she was playing in her carseat, she had a poopy diaper. When it was time for her shots, she only cried for a few seconds, then didn't even fuss when I put her back in the carseat. However, she slept all evening and was miserable this morning when I woke her up, so I stayed home with her today. Now we get to be home together for a whole week (daycare is closed until next Thursday!). I'll just be working at home during this time.
She loves her floor time, and while she still doesn't love being on her tummy, she has been rolling over a little more, and she can push herself up pretty well during tummy time when she actually tries.
She just recently learned how to take her socks off with her feet. She will wiggle one of them off, then take her bare toes and fling the other one off her foot. Silly girl! I'm not sure if she likes having bare feet, or it's just a fun thing to do. Other things she's learned are sucking in her breath (making us think she can't breathe!), panting, and raising her hands above her head and flinging them down really fast.
She's been such a happy baby ever since I took her to the chiropractor a couple weeks ago. She is truly a different little girl! She smiles and giggles all the time and really only gets fussy when she's overtired or hungry now. We got the okay from her doctor to try taking her off the reflux meds, so we'll see how that goes....
That's about all I have for now. Looks like her 5 month update will be around Christmas, yay! We're so excited for her first Christmas.
