Four Months!

It is hard to believe our sweet baby girl is already four months old. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. She got a glowing report at the doctor's office today. Her new stats are:
  • Weight: 13 lbs
  • Height: 25 1/2 inches

So, she's gained almost 2 lbs in two months and 2 1/2 inches. I'm not surprised she's so long. She went through a growth spurt last week and must have put on at least a 1/2 inch to an inch in a couple days.

She got four shots today and was quite the trooper during it all even though she was very tired (nap time was delayed because of the appointment). She's now peacefully sleeping in her crib.


As you can see from the picture, she's found her feet and spends much of her waking time with them in her hands or in the air kicking at her toys. She's curious about everything and likes to watch what's going on around her, which becomes a problem when I'm trying to get her to eat! But, she's still our sweet, happy girl and that makes up for all the challenges. We are very blessed.

FOUR shots! UGH! What a trooper! I think I would have cried all afternoon if I had something traumatic like four shots happen to me! That's why they give those to babies. They are much more resilient than whiney adults.
