4 months old!







Alexandra turned 4 months old yesterday! We went & had pictures made. She was so good during the pictures. Smiling and looking coy. Although she did make it clear that she did not want to pose sitting up on her arms & tummy. I was trying to match her big brother's 4 month pose, but oh well. She is her own child. She is so cute the way that she protests. She simply gives a little cry. Then if you don't pay attention, she will do it again. Only if you still don't pay attention will she really cry. This morning, I took her for her check up and shots. Here are her stats:
weight: 12lbs 7oz - 25%percentile
height: 24.5 in - 50-75%
head circumference: 15.5 in - 5-10% (She definitely does not take after her brother!!)
For right now, I am still nursing her, but we are supplementing with 1-2 bottles of formula per day. I am just too busy to keep up with her. :( I am holding off starting cereal or solid foods. She is still quite content with just milk. I think alot of this has to do with her spending the whole Christmas break sick with a bad cold. It really slowed down her eating & progress. But she is beginning to sit in her bumbo chair and start to play with toys.
