4 Months Old

4 Month Check-Up

Our baby girl is getting so big! She went for her shots this week and she was such a trooper. The doctor said she looks great even though the poor thing has a bad cold. She is so congested, her nose keeps running and her cough sounds painful but the little thing is full of smiles! Her weight this visit was in the 80th percentile at 15.2 lbs., and her height in the 55th percentile at 25 1/2 inches. Her head is a good size too, but I can't recall what the measurement was. All in all it was a great check-up; just praying that Lakely's cold doesn't turn into something more serious. Her classmate was just diagnosed with RSV and pneumonia so keep your fingers crossed that she'll be okay!

I love school!

Lakely's First Playdate

We went to Ms. Jenny's and Charlie's house this weekend to have some fun with friends! Kate and Finley were over there too and we had such a great time. When Lakely and I got home Tony and I placed her in her crib to see if she would roll over without me helping...(she was SO close before we left to go to Jenny's so I had to make sure I gave her another opportunity). Low and behold she rolled right over within a few seconds and Tony and I both got to see it! We were so happy for her we were screaming and cheering, which caused a little frown from the princess :( But after some tickling, her big smile was back and I think she was pretty proud of herself!


We all got to eat at the same time! MIRACLE


Me and my little punkin!


Kate is having an intervention with Lakely.

No more papparazi for Finley!

She's a Movie Star!

Lakely had the Channel 5 News come to her daycare last week to do a story on the Swine Flu. (No there aren't any cases there, they were just using the babies as props). Anyhow, Lakely got her big debut while swinging and sitting in the floor with her teacher. You can check it out here:

Her teacher emailed me a picture of her today. The lesson was "Say Cheese" and I think she caught on pretty quickly!

First Beach Trip - Dedicated to Aunt Betsy

FYI-I did NOT buy this bib, it was a gift!






We went to Hilton Head with Tony's parents for the week. Aunt Betsy and Uncle Mike were going to meet us as well, but within an hour into their trip down, they had to turn around :( Betsy is 13 weeks preggo and the car ride just wasn't doing it for her! She feels much better now thank goodness! The house that we stayed in was awesome; certainly enough room for all of us AND Lakely's stuff. So much to bring for those little things ;) Tony and his Dad played golf the first two days and then we would all hit the beach for the afternoon. We had a sun dome for Lakely to sit under in her bouncy seat and she seemed to really enjoy it. She's definitely accepted the role of a beach babe already!

Lakely also learned some new tricks this week. She now puts weight on her legs when you stand her up (as opposed to crumpling). She holds on to all of her toys now for a long time with out dropping them and she's been giggling like a giggle box. She wants to sit up so bad she can't stand it. If she's leaning on something, or is in my lap, she'll lunge forward. As far as the tummy time though, I've got nothin'. She still hates it.
