Halle will be 5 months old tomorrow, so I figured it's about time for me to post a 4-month update. She just had her 4-month check-up last week, so I feel that justifies the lateness of this post, ha. It counts as long as I get it done during her fourth month, right? I realize most of you probably don't care about all the baby things our favorite 4-month-old is doing, but, sooner or later, Halle will have a whole host of new family members who can't wait to find out every detail about her. When we find out who these people are, I will send them a link to posts such as this one and I'm sure they'll be delighted to read all about her 4-month-ness. If you non-Halle-family members choose to skip over the "update" part of this post and just stare at her adorable pictures instead, I won't be the least bit offended. ;-)
Last week I took Halle for her 4-month check-up (Mom was busy). She weighed 13lbs, 5oz. She was in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference - a petite little thing! The doctor said she looked perfect, and she certainly enjoyed seeing him more than she has in the past! Her 2-month check-up involved lots of screaming.
Halle's fourth month has been a fun one. She is such a happy girl who loves being around people. A little social butterfly. She's pretty much happy all the time, but if she's ever fussy, it's going to be when we're sitting around the house doing nothing. I think she gets bored. She loves to be on the go, doing stuff, visiting with people. She's by far the most popular one in our family when we go to church. Sometimes she gets a little uneasy (and by "uneasy", I mean she screams like she's been hit) when she's with a stranger and suddenly realizes that Mom and I are no where around. But, other than that, she's very good and very happy and so much fun to know.
Our house is slowly but surely being taken over by baby toys. When we have newborns, you can't really tell so much just by looking at our living room. They don't have very much stuff. But we have moved into big-baby-land, and now you can definitely tell there's a baby living here!
1st time in her exersaucer (Who came up with the word "exersaucer", anyway? What a weird word).
She has just about mastered the art of grabbing. Here she has finally grasped the toy hanging from her swing and will not let go.
Speaking of her swing, she loves it. And we love it. Her favorite way to fall asleep is in her swing, with her soft pink diaper in one hand and a stuffed animal in the other (usually this bunny that John & Kathy gave her for Christmas).
On the days I'm home, Halle somehow knows when I'm going to take a shower and chooses that time to wake up from her nap (or refuse to take one altogether). So we've developed this system. She sits in her bouncy seat in my bathroom floor, with a paci and her pink diaper, and watches Baby Mozart on my computer. It works well.
She likes her Bumbo seat as long as there's someone around for her to watch. Her hair's gotten pretty curly, but, as you can see, we can manage to tame it with the help of some Soft & Precious.
a happy 4-month-old in her Valentine's Day pj's

My favorite is the bathroom setup. Hilarious!
Also the pajama one where her little feet are stretched out.
Oh yeah, and the other ten are awesome too!
