4 Months!!

Dear Lexi,

You are four months old! I can't believe it! You are SO much fun right now. You started giggling a few days ago. It has got to be the cutest thing I have ever heard! You are still pretty interested in your hands and feet these days. You have your hands in your mouth so often that people wonder if you are teething. I can't feel a tooth yet, but who knows...could be sooner than later.

You are still a little string bean, weighing in at a whopping 11 lbs, 12.5 ounces. That is only in the 10th percentile. You measure 25 3/4 inches, and that is in the 90th percentile. Your doctor is pleased with your growth because you are staying right on your curve...long and lean. You are wearing 3-6 month clothes, but can still fit into some 0-3 months.

You reach and grasp at toys within your reach. They seem to always make it to your mouth these days. You smile when placed on your tummy, and you LOVE to stand with support.

You sleep for 6-7 hour stretches at night. You always wake up happy in the morning. It's one of my favorite times with you. Your eyes are still a bright blue, and your hair is a dark blonde with bits of light brown. You have started to show some interest in Gus. You even reached out and grabbed his fur the other day. He seems to have realized recently that there is indeed a baby in the house!

We recently lost our other dog, Howl, but we are so thankful for our time with him. You are certainly helping during the grieving process for us.

You love your play time with Daddy when he is home from work. He doesn't get a whole lot of time with you on days he works, so he makes sure when he does see you, it is quality time. We are both pretty smitten over you. We love taking you on evening runs or walks, and you enjoy it too. God knew what he was doing when he sent you to us. You fit in perfectly! :) We are excited to start traditions with you during the upcoming holidays.

We have several exciting things planned coming up, and can't wait for you to tag along with us!

 P.S. I like to document your growth through monthly pictures with these onesies, but I also take weekly pictures...which your daddy was shocked when he saw that I still take one every week! Oh well...
