Almost 4 months old

Quick update while the princess is napping.
Raelye hit a major growth spurt last week. She had a hard time sleeping for 8 days; barely any sleep at night & minimal naps during the day. I took her to the doctor and the best I got was we both were suffering from allergies. The longer it went on and the more research I did, I found other moms talking about a 4 month sleep regression due to a major growth spurt. The growth spurt at this time really involves mental capacity and basically babies have a hard time shutting down their brains to rest. There was a really good article I found if anyone is interested in reading it: http://www.askmoxie.org/2006/02/qa_what_are_sle.html.
While at the doctor's office, we got a new weight for her: 14 lb 1 oz! They didn't measure her but I'm sure that will come this next week at her 4 month appointment for vaccinations.
We took a trip to Target today and found the cutest little shorts. Raelye got a pair of denim and bright pink knit ones. I had to switch out most of her clothes to 3-6 month clothes. Her 3 month sleepers are getting too short; she's having a hard time stretching her legs out in them.
Raelye is raising her chest up from being on her tummy or on her back. She's getting really strong and able to hold herself more and more.
So far she's ate: rice cereal, carrots, applesauce, and wheat cereal. She's not so found of the wheat cereal. We bought her a few different fruits & veggies today to keep trying more & more. She takes the rice cereal at a pretty thick consistency (just mixed with water). Aaron and I keep working on her taking a sippy cup. We both agree this may be easier than teaching bottle then changing shortly after to sippy cup. She'll chew on it but we're not sure how much she's actually getting from it. Practice, practice, practice!
Well the princess is back up; short cat nap!
