Four Months Old!

Stats:
Height: 25 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 13 pounds, 10 ounces (50th percentile)
Head: 15 3/4 inches (45th percentile)

She smiled and cooed at the doctors and nurses right up until they stabbed her in the little thighs with a bunch of needles. She was a mite put out after that.

So far, at 4 months old, she does amazing things. She plays with her hands, often trying to stuff a fist into her mouth, she can hold her head up on her own, though not for long, she tries to stand, and she is THISCLOSE to rolling over. She can heave herself from her back to her side but once she's on her side, that bottom arm gets kind of stuck and just flails around for a while. She smiles a lot and almost laughs; she has this hilarious little squeal that will soon be an actual giggle.

She is very particular about her bed time. Try to keep up her past what she thinks is reasonable, and there is hell to pay. So most nights she's tucked in and out cold between 6:30 and 7:30. She still gets up at least once, but usually twice during the night, but we do get one nice long 6-7 hour stretch out of her, so we're getting closer to a full night's rest.

She loves when Joe and I sing to her and read books. She just plain loves the sound of Joe's voice. He comes home and calls hello from the door and she immediately starts turning her head, looking for him.

She's pretty awesome!

And Charlie says hello!

Wearing the sweater I made her

Little miss has a lot of handknit goodies. I've knit her a couple of things, as has my aunt Cindy and my grandmother and a whole slew of my knitting friends. Baby is hooked up when it comes to the woollies.

But other than a couple of exceptions, things have been too big for her.

Well no more! Be prepared for an onslaught of Caroline in hand-knits!

Bumbo Seat

Caroline has decided the bouncy chair is passé and the bumbo seat is the way to go.
