4 month Appointment

Caroline's doctor was impressed with her gains at her check-up.  She is now in the 75th percentile for height and weight and the 50th percentile for head circumference.

Weight: 14 lbs. 7 oz.
Height: 24 3/4 inches
Head Circumference: 16 1/4 inches

For a baby who was a month premature she has done so well!  She is doing great at tummy time, grasping toys and is cooing, smiling and laughing a ton.  She has rolled over a few times, but hasn't quite figured out how to make it happen again- we're hoping with all the tummy time we do, she'll get it soon!  She continues to be a great napper and sleeper since she started sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months. 

Caroline, loves watching her dad make funny faces or making funny voices, and he can usually get a giggle out of her better than anyone. She has really become quite the cuddler and she has started getting in the habit of snuggling up with mom for a little catnap shortly after I get home from work- it may only be for a few minutes or even a whole hour.  Either way, after a full day at work, it's definitely my favorite part of the day.

I may be feeling a little sappy right now, but it still amazes me how lucky we are.  There's been a lot going on since Chris graduated and been on the job hunt (details to follow soon.)  Even with all the stress and chaos in our life right now, I see her sweet little face and I really am given a big reality check- life just doesn't get much better than this.  So blessed.
