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.

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
