4 Months

Annie turned 4 months old last week! People always say how she's still so small, but I can't believe how big she's gotten. At her checkup, she weighed in at 15 lbs. 2 oz. (80th percentile) and is 24 1/2 inches (40th percentile) long. She's flip-flopped from her last visit, when she was above average for her height and a little low on the weight side. She's still healthy and growing like she's supposed to.

Since the 4 month mark, Annie has discovered bananas and rice cereal. I thought it might help her sleep through the night, but no such luck. She'll work it out on her own time. And in the mean time, Kris and I will keep taking naps!

Annie has also begun talking. Of course, it's really just cooing and babbling, but to her...she's keeping conversations with Mom and Dad. The ladies in Relief Society think its the cutest thing when Kris gets her talking and smiling and laughing. She's also learned to enjoy having a bath (thank heavens...bathing a crying baby is SO hard!). She loves to stand on our laps, on the couch, on the floor...pretty much anywhere you put her feet. My favorite thing is that she's finally learned how to roll over onto her tummy. When she lays on her back, she throws her legs up in the air to get onto her side, and then flops over. Of course, she hasn't figured out how to get from tummy to back yet, and that's sometimes upsetting to her!:)
