Rosie is 4 months, and there is only 4 months left of the Deployment

So this is what has been going on in the May household lately. Rosie is doing great. She lays on her belly and plays for longer periods of time now, and has a growing sense of humor. At her 4 month appointment she was 14lbs and 24 inches long. I can't believe she's gained 8 lbs since birth! She loves her jumperoo now. Also, she isn't such a fan of being nursed to sleep anymore. She prefers to nurse early, and be lain down while still awake. She then wants to watch her mobile and suck on her fingers until she falls asleep.

While many babies start solids at 4 months, we are practicing delayed solids. This means Rosie won't be getting any solids until 6 months. There are a great many reasons for this. Here is some information about delaying solids.

I also think Rosie might be having the stirrings of teething. Her drool output has doubled (what happened to my always clean baby?!?), and there are two little holes in her bottom gums.

In some non-Rosie related news, Dave got a promotion on August 1st, and is no longer a private, but a Specialist. He got this promotion 5 months early!

Here are some photos:
