I'm a week late with our 4 month update...but it was worth the wait because we have lots of exciting new things going on. Caroline had her 4 month check up and shots on Wednesday, and here are her stats:
Weight: 13 lbs, 6 oz (50th percentile)
Height: 25 in (75th percentile--she grew 3 inches in 2 months!)
Head circumference: 16 in (50th percentile)
Here are some new developments (it's hard to keep track because it seems like they happen almost everday!)
*She has found her feet and loves to grab them (especially when Mommy is changing her diaper) but hasn't put them in her mouth yet.
*She will reach out and take a rattle you hand her and will also reach out and pick one up that is laying beside her.
*She loves her Exersaucer and bouncy seat and can grab the toys that hang above her. She loves to pull them and listen to the music they play.
*She is starting to get some more hair, and it's blonde--yea!
*I don't know if she will ever learn to sit up because she wants to stand all the time!
*She is starting to blow raspberries...which means lots of drool to clean up...
*She rolled from her tummy to her back on March 16 and from her back to her tummy today!
*She really seems to look at the pictures and listen to the story in the book that John or I read her every night. Hope she'll be a big reader like her Mommy was when she was little.
*People always say she's such a Gerber baby. :-)
I'm sure there are a million more things I could add if I kept thinking about it. I am so glad that I'm able to stay home with her for right now, so that I don't miss a single thing. Watching her grow and seeing her personality develop is so awesome. I have always heard that you aren't able to fathom the love you have for your children until you have one, and now I honestly believe that. I am so lucky that God blessed me with such a perfect baby. I am humbled daily by the love that I feel for her.
Here are a couple more pictures. Enjoy!
Mommy loves this onesie!
1st time in my pool...would probably be better if I could sit up by myself!
Taken after her shots. I could only get a picture of one of the band-aids since she pulled the other 2 off and tried to eat one!

She is so big! I think she looks like the Gerber baby too!!! I am glad you are doing the monthly update posts!
I didn't know you read Twillight. I think I may be a twi-mom, but don't tell anyone! I love sparkly vampires and can't wait for Eclipse this summer.
