She's going to be a tall one!

Well, happy four month birthday Jensen...off to the doctor! Actually it wasn't a bad visit. We've split up the shots for her so she gets them every month instead of a bunch every two months. So this time around was the easy ones...an oral and a shot.

So off we went...oh did I mention she'd only slept for 40 minutes total all day? Yeah I was prepared for a nightmare. But we got there and she was a happy baby as usual. She weighs 14 lbs. 14.5 oz (gaining one pound since July 31) and is 25.5 inches long! She grew an entire inch in the month of August! And I think she did it while we were in California! Then came the vaccines. She started to get the pouty lip during the oral. She looked at the nurse and then at me with the lip and started to cry like "why are you letting her do this to me!". It was so sad. Then came the shot, and the scream. Luckily it was only one and I swooped her up and she immediately stopped crying. Thank goodness. I hate it and am NOT looking forward to next month when she gets three shots!

But all is right with the world. She finally got some sleep and then slept like usual last night. This morning we were all smiles and giggles, although still a little drowsy. Hopefully she'll nap well for Katie.

Thank goodness it's Friday huh? It's been such a long week. My baby has been gone all week and I'm so excited to spend some Quality Time with her. Today I pick her up early from day care so we can have a mommy/baby afternoon. I think we'll hit the pool since the nice weather is coming to an end here soon.

Alrighty, well back to work. Have a great long weekend!

4 months...I know I'm sorry!

Ok, ok! I know I've been slacking off but during the nice long maternity leave the last thing I wanted to do was get on the computer once a week. But here I am! YEAH! I am going to work very hard to keep this up weekly so that you all have some status on our little one. I will still send out the monthly photos so if you have a total overload then I totally understand. But I've been getting many requests to start up again so we'll give it a go.

Jensen turned four months yesterday and is doing great. I cannot believe she's growing so much. We have her 4 month appointment today so I'll let y'all know how big she really is! I know for sure she's gotten longer. Just in the week we were in CA she grew out of a bunch of pjs. I swear for as many clothes as I have, she's in and out of them so fast! But I will say she's one very well dressed young lady! It's so fun to put on different things with different bows and shoes. I really hope she's a girly girl...I love it!

We got her in her exersaucer this past weekend and she loves it! She lasts about 15-20 minutes in there and mainly tries to eat the toys, but she enjoys it so who am I to say no? Everything goes in her mouth so I'm going to check with the doctor about cereal and teeth. She drools non-stop so I think they are on the horizon.

We're looking forward to a nice long weekend. I get one extra day with her this week which makes me very happy! I think we'll be on lots of walks and hikes.

Take care.
