Kayla is 4 months!!!

Our baby girl is growing up!  She just turned 4 months old.  She currently weighs in at 17 pounds 3 ounces and measures 26 and a half inches long.  She has been eating rice & barley cereal for about a month and will begin oatmeal this evening.  She is eating cereal twice a day and we were given the go ahead to begin introducing her to fruits and veggies!!!  The doctor suggested that we move her from the infant carrier car seat to the convertible car seat b/c she is getting so big.  She got the next round of shots and was such a trooper.  She let out a really loud scream and then stopped.  The doctor also told us it was ok to take her swimming so expect to see pictures from our visit at the Community Center. She also has two teeth coming in but the Dr. thinks it may be a slow moving situation.

Kayla is down to three naps a day and is trying to get on a routine... she sleeps anywhere from 6-9 hours at night. She stills sleeps mostly in her swing during the day but we are working on the transition to the crib.  She loves standing up but does not have any balance yet.  She is sitting up on her own for a few minutes at a time... then she takes a dive and ends up on her tummy.  She actually enjoys tummy time much more these days.  She will talk and talk and talk - not that we understand what she is saying but boy does she have alot to say!  She loves hanging out in her walker (which is on carpet and does not move yet) and her exersaucer (which she has not realized spins around).  She LOVES playing in the tub with her little squirt toys too!   She holds and plays with toys all by herself. Everything she can hold goes in her mouth... EVERYTHING! She is a big fan of the Sprout Network and some of the cartoons... but we listen to music most of the day.

Here are some pictures of things in the life of Kayla over the past month! 



Someone is trying to break out of her crib!


Can anyone get a little privacy around here?


See mommy, I can hold a spoon and eat my fingers at the same time!


I love this new exersaucer toy... although I am not sure how it
lets me stand up, spin around and sit down!


Kayla can not decide which toys to play with so she plays with them all!


Tummy time after tubby time... this way mommy can lotion up my back too!

This cold squishy thing helps my toothies feel so good...


I could get used to just hanging around this place!
