April Hope at 4 months

Weighing in at 11 pounds, 13 ounces April is a little peanut! She's in the 95% for height (25 inches) which is a jump from the 75% at 2 months....so she stretched out without time to fill out yet :) The doctor said he was pleased with her growth - so we're not fearful that she'll stay small forever :)

April's favorite song is Row, Row, Row, Your Boat and seems to favor her crinkle-book out of her toys. She loves the swing too! She's still very interested in watching Chloe and is so close to laughing! We got her giggling pretty good the other night and it's so fun to know that the belly laugh will be next :)


She is reaching and grabbing things too - which is a change from last month. April is still wonderful during tummy-time.

She eats every 3 hours and sleeps well at night! We'll be starting cereal in a few more weeks :) She is a "drool-queen" and constantly has her fingers in her mouth - she wears a bib all the time!



We love you April! Can't wait to watch you grow and continue learning!

She is so cute!
Small and tall? sounds like a great combination, must be all the fresh air and sunshine she enjoys, glad she is growing and healthy.

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
