Guess who's 4 months old???

Yesterday marked Annie's 4 month birthday. It is hard to believe that she has been with us for that long. On the other hand, it's amazing to think that it has only been 4 months. Annie continues to amaze us. She is honestly one of the happiest and smiliest babies I have ever seen. She has a smile for everyone and is desperately trying to say hi. It is so sweet to watch her interact with Ellie and Mollie. She knows when they are in the room before they say a word or make their presence known. It is so sweet!! She is such a trooper. I prayed that she would fall into our routine and be a "go with the flow" kinda kid. She is just that! Thank you GOD!!

Annie basically sleeps 12 to 13 hours a night. She generally wakes up talking and with a smile. She is such a sweetie! Mollie can't wait to see her in the morning and runs and climbs up the side of her crib to get a peek at Annie. Ellie is a huge help. They both adore her!! What a blessing!!

Annie is desperately trying to turn over. She is holding her head up on her own when you carry her and when she lays on her tummy. She is grabbing things and putting (or trying to put) them in her mouth. She is drooling like crazy!! She's wearing 3-6 month clothes.

We had her 4 month check up on Tuesday. Dr. Feelbetter says that she is perfect and will be chasing her sisters in no time. She weighs 13 lbs. 9 oz. (52nd percentile) and is 25 3/4 inches long (94th percentile!). I can't remember the stats on her precious head, but the measurement was in the 64th percentile. We are supposed to be starting her on cereal. However, we all know that I am so bad about that. I'm sure it will end up in her bottle at least for a while. We are still trying to get us into a really good routine now that we have 3 kids who all need to be fed at the exact same time and who all need seconds on said food before I can sit down to eat. ha! She is spitting up some. Dr. Feelbetter suggested we switch her to soy formula. That didn't go so well, and we were back on lactose free in 24 hours. It was worth a shot. Guess we'll have to come up with something else.

Annie was chillin' while we waited for Dr. Feelbetter. I think she sensed that something was up.

Annie just before the nurses came in to give Annie her shots. She got the rotovirus vac by mouth and 3 shots. Ugh!


Before we went to pick up Ellie from school, I thought we would have our 4 month photo shoot. Mollie wanted in on the action.

Look how long she is!

Smiley!
