4 Month Stats

Eliza finally had her 4 month check-up this morning.  Overall, she's a very happy and healthy baby girl, and she's doing great developmentally.  She's 26 3/4 inches, which puts her at the 95% for height, and she weighs 15 lbs 4 oz, which is the 20%.  Those stats certainly explain why her 6 month clothes are very wide on her, but we can hardly snap them because she's so long :)

Sitting in the Bumbo helping mommy cook...
She is still doing amazing at sleeping (to bed at 10 PM and sleeps until 7).  She's turned into a little slobber monster in the last couple of weeks, so I keep feeling for some teeth but nothing yet.  I gave her a cold teething ring for the first time last night, and she was pretty fascinated with that.

In case you're wondering, Madeline was 27 1/4 inches and 15 lbs 11 oz at 4 months.

4 months old

Our little Eliza turned 4 months old last week.  I had to reschedule her 4 month check-up, so I'll have to post her stats at a later day.  She is the sweetest, happiest, and most easy going baby I could ever imagine.  She goes to bed around 10 PM and sleeps until 7 AM.  Literally, I have only been up with her 1 night in the past 6+ weeks.  It's unbelievable (and wonderful!)  
 She's starting to recognize faces, so she will give a big smile to people she knows (or almost anyone that smiles at her).


 Here she is with Aunt Abbey on Abbey's birthday...
 Tummy time!
 Madeline absolutely LOVES her baby sister.  The other day, she was reading with daddy on the couch while Eliza and I played on the floor.  Maddie decided that she wanted to read to Eliza, so she brought her book over and laid down on the floor next to her.  Of course, Gigi (the giant stuffed giraffe) had to partake in story time as well...
Eliza constantly watches Maddie and smiles at her all the time.  We are very lucky to have such wonderful little girls.
