Our Petite Girl

It's confirmed - at least so far. Aubrey is a little more petite than her big sister. Perhaps she is following in mommy's footsteps?! She had her four month appointment yesterday - can you believe it's already been four months?! She weighed 12lbs, 9oz, was 24.5" long and her head circumference was 16". This put her in the 25-50th percentile in all categories except weight, where she is in the 10-25th percentile - no doubt due to spitting up about half her meal at most feedings! It is about time to start solids, though, which should add some weight on - that is, if she eats them. So far, she doesn't like the cereal so we'll have to go ahead and add some applesauce or breastmilk to it to make it taste better. She also does not like the bottle! We tried at the beginning so we wouldn't find ourselves stuck. She liked it for a little while and then began a little protest of it which continues today. Hmm...any ideas? I've tried other bottles and I would try breastmilk instead (of which I don't have any pumped right now because I didn't think I'd need it); but she won't even try to suck on it to figure out if she likes it. It's an all out protest! This is totally opposite of Ellie who had no problem with it or cereal. Do we have a picky eater on our hands? I sure hope not! In better news, she FINALLY really slept through the night the past two nights, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that this will continue!
