Sophie's 4 month check-up

Craig took Sophia to her 4 month well check with the pediatrician last Tuesday (August 25th). All went well. She's 14#3oz and 25 1/2". Not surprisingly, her weight gain has come down from that 95th percentile. Genetically, I couldn't see her continuing along that growth line. She's now between the 50-75th percentile, though still surprisingly tall for her age at the 90th. I'm not crazy about how they measure length - it doesn't seem very accurate to me. So perhaps she's not quite as tall as they measured?

Sophie got the 2nd series of the same shots from her 2 month appointment, so 3 more pokes. Craig said she did very well. Developmentally, she's on track and the doctor said we could introduce cereal now if we wanted. I plan to wait till she's 6 months though, when her digestive tract has matured a bit more and she's able to sit up better to eat from a spoon. She sure has started to notice and follow with her eyes whenever I'm eating or drinking something if she happens to be in my arms though now. So it'll be fun to see how she responds to that new adventure soon. I'm just excited that she'll turn 6 months in the fall when all the squashes and sweet potatoes and apples are in season - perfect first foods when they're cheapest and at their prime!

Speaking of sitting up, we're working on it! She already likes her Bumbo seat. But on Sunday, we practiced sitting on the floor with the Boppy pillow around her for support.

And here's Sophie "reading" her God Made Me book (bedtime book):

Here's another picture that looks very similar to one I took of Will as a baby. Very intrigued by the water coming out of the faucet. :) Isn't it funny to imagine how fascinating the world must be to babies when everything is new to them?

And do you notice a change in this bath picture?? No more hammock! Sophie's now sitting right in the water leaning against the infant seat.

Why are hooded towels so stinkin' cute?

Here's a few cute pictures of Will that are just too cute not to add.
Craig had him try on my glasses. :)

So cute, I can't even stand it.
