4

ilane xochitl is 4 months old!

At 4 months she is wearing 6-9 month clothing pretty consistently.

We have already had to adjust her cloth diapers up a size.

At her 4 month well-check today, she weighed in at 13 lbs, 3 oz (50th percentile).

Xaris (fully clothed and shod)

was almost but not quite 10 lbs heavier, weighing in today at 23 lbs.

iX is growing like a weed: height is 25, which was 75th percentile, and head is 15.5 at 10th percentile. Her sister was a little more top-heavy.

I took a look at Xaris' 4 month stats... (here's the post) because I wanted to compare. I don't think ilane is that big, but everyone keeps commenting on how much bigger she was than X. Take a look...if you want. It's surprising!

ilane...

Is strong enough to play in X's "brinkabrinka" (jumper) and loves it.

Has recently become VERY vocal in mostly happy and delighted ways.

Still has confusing hair and eye colors (as if they can't decide what they will be)

LOVES watching her big sister do anything and everything.

Adores her mama.

Enjoys her bath with X every night.

Has stopped sleeping through the night (rats) after all our travels over the holidays.

Occasionally finds her left thumb to be quite comforting.

Has the BEST sad face in the world! Her lip can do amazing things.

Is discovering her hands can play with things and pull hair.

Is a good eater and a bad burper.

Is quite often called iX in text, which translates to iXa or iXy in spoken word

cupcakes! that X helped with!
