August - 4 Months Old

Sweet Hannah Renee is already 4 months old and is doing so well.  She had her 4 month check-up yesterday and weighed 16 pounds, 3 ounces (84th percentile).  She measured 24 inches long.  Little Hannah impressed the doctor with how strong she is! :)  All went well except for a bit of swelling in her legs where she got her shots....poor baby! She got the go-ahead to start eating cereal, so she has had some brown rice cereal the past couple of days. After her very first bite, she was all smiles so I think it was a hit!

Hannah is awake a lot more now during the day and sleeps through the night most nights (knock on wood!). She really seems to enjoy her Tummy Time.  She rolled over on her 4 month birthday but of course it was when Mommy was looking away!  I was changing Emma's diaper and had laid her on her stomach on the floor, and when I turned around she was on her back.  Of course I've been trying to catch her doing it again so I can video tape it, but haven't had any luck!  She also likes spending time sitting up in her Bumbo chair....she feels like such a big girl!

Little Hannah is still so fascinated by her big sister and loves watching her every move.  She goes in with Mommy every day to get Emma up out of bed and her eyes light up, she grins and coos.  It is priceless! Both of the girls also like watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together, and it's part of our nightly routine. It is so fun watching the girls form such a strong bond.

That's all for now....stay posted for more updates!
