4 months!

McKinley was 4 months old yesterday. We can hardly believe it... has it really been 4 months already? On one hand, it feels like it has been way longer than that, that McKinley has always been a part of our family. And on the other hand, it feels like she was just born last week. Funny how you can feel both things at the same time.

Anyway, she is a happy and healthy girl! We went to the doctor today and she weighs 12 lbs 12.5 oz and is 24 inches tall. She's such a big girl! She only cried after the second shot... but then was fine. Of course, she has been asleep since we got home. But she sure was a trooper.

So, just for posterity sake, here's what she's up to at 4 months:

You can hold your head up pretty well, although you seem to get tired of it after a few minutes.
You are trying to rollover, but very unsuccessfully so far.
You can clasp your hands together and love to try and get them both in your mouth at the same time.
You are starting to bat at or grab for things that are hanging in front of you. You love your bouncy seat and all that comes with it.
You can lift your head up while you are on your tummy, but you haven't quite figured out how to get your arms underneath you to support yourself. You do a great Superman impression.
You are in a size two diaper and are growing out of your 0-3 month cloths.
You love to squeal at the top of your voice and will jabber non-stop in the mornings once you've woken up a little.
You don't like to wake up in the mornings, just like your mommy, but once you do you are ready to start playing!
You don't cry much unless you are tired... but you don't cry just to cry or fuss.

You are a delight in our lives McKinley... we love being your parents!
