August 14 - 19 weeks old


Here we are one week away from our precious girl turning five months old! Where is time going?? Life has certainly gotten busy for our little family and hopefully in a few short weeks we will finally be in our new house. I'm sure we will look back at this month and wonder how we even managed to do all this with such a little girl.......believe me, I am feel like I'm going nuts half the time while our clothes are in boxes/suitcases and our kitchen is all packed up.......but we couldn't be more excited to settle into our new digs!!

In big news for our little cookie this past week she had her 4 month appointment ( a little late!) So, as we undressed her for the big weigh-in, the nurse guessed her at 18 lbs! Haha I was just hoping she was still in the 16 lb range although I had been noticing this past week that her 6 month clothes were starting to fit a little more snug! So her official stats were 16 lb 10 oz and measuring 25 1/4". She is definitely a solid girl but got glowing reviews from the pediatrician so we couldn't be happier with our healthy, happy little girl! I have to say though that the vaccinations hurt me just as much as her! Mike had to hug both of us after the shots were over! I just soooo hated seeing that happy little face break into a squealing cry that I've only heard a handful of times.

With the conclusion of her 4 month appointment we also got the green light to start some rice cereal and stage 1 foods. This may take some work but we've only been doing it for a few nights......haha the faces are priceless and each night seems to go a little smoother! I'm sure when we finally have a kitchen all set up for her, the feedings will probably be going a little better!
