4 months!

Dear Reese,

I can't believe you are 4 months old! It seems like both forever and just yesterday that you made your appearance in our lives! You have made our lives much more entertaining and have added an incredible amount of value into our family! We can't wait to see what you do with your life and what impact you make on this earth!

We went to the doc today and here are our stats:

Weight: 12 pounds, 12 ounces {20%!!!!!!!}

Length: 23 inches {10%}

Head: 15.8 inches {10%}

You have tripled your birth weight in just 4 months! Way to pack on the pounds!

This has been a month of all new things for you:

Sucking your thumb {finally gave up on the paci and just let you roll with the thumb--I'll deal with the consequences later!}

Sitting {assisted} and playing with electronic equipment! {This photo was not staged AT ALL haha.}

New toys! Some assistance is still needed for the exersaucer, but you were definitely interested!

Haha, this would be a big fat FAIL! I'm sure in just a few short months, this blog will be filled with you splashing and laughing in the duckie bath. For now, you don't enjoy it. at all.

Rice cereal!!! Haha, this pic sums up our experience with the whole thing!

Other facts about our 4-month-old!
