4 Months Old

Joyclen,

You are now 4 months old.

• You weigh 13 pounds and are measuring around 23 inches length.
• You are wearing clothing exclusively in the 3-6 month range.
• You are still wearing size 1 diapers, but should move up to size 2 diapers by the end of the week.
• You can now “army crawl” across the floor. It is cute watching you pull yourself across the floor – trying to keep up with your older cousins.
• You have started babbling even more. You have started making the “B” sound in addition to your cooing.
• You are still a very happy baby who loves to smile. In the last month, you have started laughing – especially at your Daddy when he makes sill faces.

• For the first time this month, you attended day care. You impressed all of the teachers with how easily you made the transition – they all said you had such a sweet disposition.
• On the 4th of July, you watched your first fireworks display…..or at least you did until you fell asleep.

One year ago today, Daddy and I were still trying to process the news that we were going to be parents. Admittedly, we were scared, anxious, and a little unsure of ourselves. But we both agree that if we had known then what we now know – how amazing you would be – then we would have had nothing to fear.

Our lives our so much better because of you!

Love,

Mama and Daddy
