Molly - 4 months



My Molly girl is getting so big!  At her Dr appointment she impressed them with how advanced she was.  She already has her 2 bottom teeth, rolls from tummy to back and back to tummy and has severe stranger anxiety.  When I told them that she doesn't like being held by other people they were very surprised and said it was very early for that.  But I feel like she has been this way for at least a month!  She likes her Daddy and her siblings and she is very content to sit on her own at home.  But the second I try and hand her to someone, she starts to cry!  And the second she gets handed back to me she stops.  What a silly girl.  But she is my baby.  My last baby.  I still rock her to sleep....and with the others I was already sleep training them.  She has me wrapped around her finger.  And I'm happy.  
She is happy.  She smiles and likes peek a boo.  She will sit and bounce in her bouncer for long periods of time and kick and laugh.  She loves to spit and talk at the same time.  And suck on her hands.  She still spits up all the time and Clara will loudly tell me about it when she sees it!  And I think Clara thinks its a little funny because occasionally she will spit a little and tell me she spit up.  She isn't sleeping through the night any more (except occasionally) but I love her too much to complain.  She sleeps in the car and out and about because she is a 4th child on the go.

Weight:  13 lb 8 oz (48%)
Height:  24" (58%)
Head: 15.75" (24%)

She is continuing to go down on the charts a bit but that is just what my babies do.  We aren't worried yet because she is just so happy but I'm sure we will be supplementing with formula soon.

The kids are on spring break so I asked Kate to try and take a picture of me and Molly.  Here is the best we got!

Pretty Clara

Clara is great at independent play but occasionally I get done nursing Molly and I find Clara looking a little guilty.  And it is just too adorable.
