addy: 4 months

Our little Addy bug (as she is affectionately called) is 4 months old!

My mom and I braved a double pediatrician visit with both kids while Brandon was in London.  Poor little Addy got a little overshadowed in the visit by her big brother and his antics, but in typical Addy fashion she just sat and quietly watched him and smiled.

Addy weighed in at 13 pounds, 11 ounces and was 25.5 inches tall.  She is in the 30th percentile for weight and 85th for height.  Tall and skinny still!
She is the sweetest baby, it's quite unbelievable.
She is so laid back, content to just sit and snuggle and watch the chaos around her that is our life most of the time.

Lucas can consistently make her laugh still, and the way she watches him makes my heart melt.

She freely gives out smiles and we have plenty of conversations.  She has learned lots of new noises lately, my recent favorite being a squeal.  All girls have to master a good squeal, right?
She rolls from belly to back and has rolled from back to belly only twice that we have seen.  She doesn't like being on her belly these days, so motivation to roll that way is lacking.

I swear she's close to sitting up.  She loves to sit and can balance for a few seconds now before toppling over. She likes to stand too, and has even balanced for a little while standing up next to her little play table.

We have entered the stage of putting everything in the mouth. All toys go immediately to the mouth, as well as clothing and my hands.  The girl loves to chew.
My poor girl still doesn't have much hair.  It's starting to thicken up a bit but it's still not a lot!  And what she has is still light in color.  Those eyes are brown with still some teases of hazel.
Her smile lights up the room.

We started operation-sleep-in-your-room this week.  And with that comes some cry-it-out tactics.  Our sweet girl has started to figure it out though after only 3 nights, and last night slept ALL night until 6am!  I couldn't believe it.  I may or may not have snuck into her room at 3am to check on her...don't judge me.  When she woke up at 6, I fed her and she slept until 7:30.  Finally.  Here's hoping that we do it again tonight.  Because mama's tired.

Did I mention the snuggles?  We have a snuggler. And I LOVE IT.

Our family is better with you in it, sweet Addy girl.  We love you!
