4 Months Old

Kate turned 4 months old on Oct. 16 and we did our standard photo shoot with our monkey friend! She also visited the doctor again for her four month check-up and shots (no fun)! The best part about the doctor's visit is we get to find out how big she is getting and I was shocked to learn that Kate is still in the 90th percentile in weight and get this....the 97th percentile in height! Seriously?!? Where does she get this? Well, I went back and scoured our baby books to find out that Kyle was very tall and a little butterball himself at this age! Kate weighs in at a whopping 15 pounds 4 ounces and is 26 inches long. She's so very healthy and is now sleeping through the night consistently! We feel pretty lucky! We'll put Kate down each night after a bath around 8:30 pm and she'll sleep until 8 the next morning. Maybe this is temporary and as she gets older we'll be waking up with her a lot earlier but for now, it's just heaven!

From these pics, you can tell she's discovered her hands and grabbing and she knows that this monkey friend is meant for more than posing with her. She was pretty hard to keep still! Here are a few of my faves!
