18 pounds

So we went to the 4 month checkup yesterday and she now weighs 18.01pounds. Thát's 10 pounds heavier than her birth weight. Dr. said we can start rice cereal which I will feed her today at our Thanksgiving meal. She's still been waking up every couple hours to eat and last night it seemed to be every hour, I don't know. She got 3 injections which contained 5 vaccinations. Her legs are chunky and her tummy too. Dr. said she was fat in all the right places with the breast milk.

Today's her first major holiday! Oh how I wish it were last year when I was newly pregnant. I miss it so much.

I brushed her hair to the other side one night after her bath this week and she looked a bit like a. hitler. yikes. but she's cute like that.

She's not rolled over yet but trying. She bites all fingers on both hands interchangeably and alternately, not preferring any over the other. At this age, B was sucking his left thumb exclusively, and he gave up on the chupete. T still likes the chupete as well as her fingers/thumb/hand.

We put her in the jumpy this week and at first she didn't like it, but the next day she seemed to take to it better.

B is practicing with a borrowed Wii. He gets frustrated easily with such games but seems to be enjoying it right now.

I guess I'll go and put the turkey in the oven.
