Brooke's 4 Months Old!

It's hard to believe our little "Bear" is 4 months old!

What is Brooke doing now?

If you can't tell, she's been smiling since 2 months - and she smiles a LOT! Since starting daycare on November 30, every day her message says "Happy Baby", "Very Happy Baby"... it's pretty hard to disagree! She's always smiling!

She has managed to find her thumb - FINALLY! Brooke has had her fists in or near her mouth since Mommy's ultrasound at 35 weeks. We knew it was only a matter of time before that thumb was discovered.

Brooke LOVES to grab EVERYTHING! Her mommy's hair, her sister's hair, Cy's hair... She also grabs rattles, connecting rings, her baby gym pieces!

And this girl has some stomach muscles! She is lifting her head about 4 inches off the ground, and her feet at the same time. We can tell she totally wants to see the world - and what is happening around her! She's also trying with all her might to roll over. She gets up on her side, but just can't seem to flip over her shoulders quite yet.

Brooke also tried cereal, but she has a nasty cold now. We decided to hold off on any more cereal until we get through the cold and are sleeping better. The doctor also said we could wait until 6 months if we want, so we'll see!

At Brooke's 4 month appointment, she weighed 19 lbs and was 26 inches long. She is in the 99% for weight, the 95% for height, and the 94% for height/weight combination. That means, she's big - but proportional. She's wearing clothes at 4 months that her sisters wore at 9 months!!
