4 Months

Miley turned 4 months on Monday and she went to the doctor today- here's what they said:
Weight- 16 pounds- she doubled her birth weight which is what they want by this age
Height- 25 inches- she's in the 90th percentile
Health- as healthy as can be! Perfect little angel!
Shots- she didn't cry as much this time with the shots- this time they laid her on the table and I got to hold her hands and give her a million kisses and talk to her while it was happening- she stopped crying a little bit in between the shots- then I kicked the nurse out and fed her and that made it all better. Here it is 9:45pm and we are still awake- she's been sleeping since 6:30 in my arms- but that's ok- I would too if I had 3 shots today so we are hanging out a little bit before we go to bed- she is loving looking at me type and watching the computer screen!
Food- he said by her 6 month appointment he'd like her to be eating rice cereal so maybe next month we'll start working on that a teaspoon at a time and work our way up to 1-3 tablespoons twice a day

Miley is getting close to rolling- she will be on her back and roll to her side and almost get over but that darn arm still gets in the way- so we will keep working on it. She LOVES to sit up and look around. She talks all the time, smiles, laughs, and we discovered she has ticklish feet! She is just getting to be so much fun!




We had quite the eventful weekend last weekend- Saturday morning we went to the ECFE Baby Shower- they asked our opinion on whether we'd like to start a class once a month for young infants- I sure hope they do as I think it would be a lot of fun. There was practically all girls there and only 3 boys- but only one around Miley's age- he was 5 months old.

Here are the troops hanging out in the pool- Peyton, Miley, Sophie, Chole (standing) and Trent.



Here is a close up of P.M.S. :)



Then it was off to Kelly and Peyton's baby shower- there we got to meet Kelly's nephew Gus- he is 1 week older then Miley- don't they look similar!





Sunday was my cousin Ashley's wedding- Miley's first wedding! My camera died so I didn't get any pictures of her in her pretty dress :( I'll have to have her wear it again.

Then this week we found out that Miley was in the Beacon again! What a little star we have on our hands! :)

Our weekends seem to be filling up rather quickly- This weekend we are going up to Brittney's house with Kelly, Peyton, Jackie and her new little puppy and Sunday is Mother's Day, Henry's Baptism and Taylor's Bears baseball game- so it will be another full weekend- with lots of picture opts!

Oh, glad to hear she's so happy and healthy. Don't worry too much about the whole rice cereal thing before 6 months. Most peds will tell you to wait until they are at least 6 months before introducing anything but breastmilk. Their digestive system isn't really equipped to handle it before that. Be patient and fill her up with the best food money can't buy. Maddox didn't get a taste of anything until just after 6 months and he wasn't all that interested until closer to 9 months. Now he eats great!

Love ya,
Heidi Sue

Yeah- I don't know that I'm in too much of a rush to give her food- we'll just play it by ear- she does take interest when we are eating, she likes to watch the fork or spoon go into our mouths. So we'll just see how things go.
