She's my big girl....

Kelsey turned 4 months old today! She was very good at her check-up until the shots came. It was like she knew the shots were coming, they laid her on the table and she looked up at me and her bottom lip started to quiver before anything happened. She calmed down quickly afterwards and has been good to go since. She weighed in at 14 lbs 14 oz. (75th percentile) 26 inches long (97th) and her head was 50th percentile. I'm glad to say she's a very healthy little (big) girl! I spent this afternoon taking some pictures of her which is becoming more and more fun with her smiles, expressions, and her holding her head up more easily.

Here's what life at 4 months old is all about for Kelsey:

~sleeping approximately from 9pm-7am
~feeding all the time still-we need to spread this out and feed more at a time, any helpful hints?
~short naps around 9am, noon, and 5pm.
~rolling over from back to stomach and then getting frustrated because she's stuck-this has been happening early morning or during nap and it wakes her up because she gets so mad.
~reaching for objects and putting them in her mouth.
~sucking her thumb if not both at the same time
~drooling nonstop
~watching her sister's every move
~watching the Tiger's play at night in her bouncy seat
~still not sure about cereal

Wonderful pictures!! It's funny that Macey was always in the lower percentile for weight! Babies do get much more fun and easy to photograph don't they!?!

my favorite is that she likes to watch the Tigers at night in her bouncy seat.

Fun, and great work, Kelsey! I find infant growth patterns fascinating. Judah is 3 months old today, and I think I may take him in for a weight check just because I'm curious...

Kels is adorable!
