4 Months!

Finally catching a smile on camera (I've been trying for weeks): She looks very serious here but she was really puckering up her lips and blowing bubbles but it's the only picture where she is looking at the camera:

Addison is 4 months old! Here are her stats and a few things about her this month:

- She continues to be a teeny peanut
Weight 12 lb. 10 oz. (25th)
Height 24.75 inches (75th)
Head 15.75 (75th)
To put this in perspective, both C and M were over 12 lbs at one month!!!

-Is still an AMAZING sleeper. She sleeps 11-12 hours every night. It is bliss. Takes two solid naps every day. However, she will only sleep in her crib, making being out and about difficult.

-Has officially found her thumb. She only sucks it when she's asleep and it's really cute.

-Has started to play with toys. She loves the floor activity mat and plastic rings. She will bat at things for a long time.

-Is only nursing about 6 times a day. I was concerned at first but her doctor said it is fine for her age.

-Is full of smiles and coos and giggles for all members of our family.

-Has gotten a bit of stranger anxiety, which is a first for one of my kids. She cried when grandma held her earlier this week.

I honestly cannot believe she is already 4 months old - that is 1/3 of a year. I love watching her develop but really just want her to stay tiny for awhile longer! We sure adore our sweet girl!

I had to look twice when I read that she is four months - I couldn't believe that she is that old already! Oh my goodness, it goes so fast! She is a darling girl. I still thinks she looks A LOT like M - cute, cute, cute! Glad she has been such a good baby for you!

now I want to see a line-up comparison of all three of your kids at the same age. I swear they have a very strong familial resemblence.

Oh my goodness; she is absolutely precious! I love the bows you put in her hair and what a great onesie! Where did you find that? 12 hours at only 4 months old - that is amazing! But you deserve that on your third child!

Adorable pictures! How do you get a baby to love their crib? That's one thing we struggle with in our house.

Wow 4 months already!!! How cute is she? I love the onesie! And can I tell you how insanely jealous I am about her sleep habits?! Carson is 16 months and still wakes up once (sometimes twice) a night.

What a cutie! It is so fun to see her grow! I love the onesie too!
