4 Month Stats

Our 4 month appointment was about 10 days late but here are the stats:

Height: 25" (85th percentile!)
Weight: 14 lbs. 6.5 oz. (74th percentile!)

So I can't see it but our baby is getting so big! The doctor said she definitely needs to eat more solids to get enough calories. I just hope she holds off on crawling and walking!

First Solid Foods!

Our baby sure is growing up fast. At her 4 month appointment, her pediatrician asked us to start solids. I had planned on waiting until 6 months, but because of her reflux, and the fact that she is waking up more during the nights, the doctor asked us to start now. We started her on rice cereal and she ate it up! Blythe has never been a baby to refuse food, ever. They say babies only eat until they are full, but my child will eat whatever, whenever! She didn't mind the spoon in her mouth and by the end she was grabbing it to put in her own mouth! It's so fun to see her doing new things and learning, but sad at the same time as we watch her grow up so fast! We'll see how this continues this week...

Lots Of Catching Up To Do

So I have been taking pictures, but I haven't been posting them. Now that there are 2 months worth, I feel a bit overwhelmed and keep putting it off. Today is the day I plan on catching up!

So here we go...

Beach Baptism

Our church, Church at the Bay, held their baptism at Honeymoon Island State Park this weekend. It was neat to see so many new believers as well as so many new members since the last time we did this! Blythe got to put her feet in the water for the first time. She didn't seem to notice that her feet were sinking deeper and deeper into the sand. I think it just helped her stand up better!

4 Months Old and July 4th

We spent all week getting ready to move and spent the holiday weekend moving. However, I couldn't let her 4 month birthday go by without her special outfit (which I dug out of a box!) and a few pictures! Think I'll do things like this with my other children or is it just the first?!?







Blythe and Logan are becoming friends now that she is more mobile. Logan is very gentle with her and has let her touch his nose a few times. He was feeling left out during the pictures so we tried to get shots of them together. Poor Logan probably doesn't know what he has coming as our little one grows up...

She's just so darn cute!

I bought this outfit before Blythe was born and it has been too big. Now it's too hot to wear it so I put her in it on a day I knew we'd be home all day. I had to take some pictures before I packed it away. She is just showing so much personality lately and it's so fun!
