Four Months of Alba

{September}
Our Chunky Monkey had her four month appointment and here are her stats.

Weight 17lbs 8oz (94th percentile)

Height 25in (75th percentile)

OFC 16.1in (57th percentile)

 These boys absolutely adore their sister.
I cannot keep them away from her cute face.
And she adores them right back.

She is just the squishiest, happiest, smiliest baby anyone could ask for and we adore every minute with her.

Here's what she's up to this month.

1. She's rocking size 3 diapers and 6-12 month clothes. 

2. Sleeping through the night, and oh is it glorious! (it literally took the boys until they were 4 years old to consistently sleep through the night, so this is heaven sent!)

3. Rolls both ways now and has learned to travel with her rolling.

4. Laughs the sweetest laugh. She seems to laugh best for mama and the boys and her poor daddy has to work so hard to hear any giggles.

5. She's super interested in food or drinks that I'm eating. She watches very intently, reaches for them, and smacks her lips. The doctor gave the OK to start her on cereal but I waited until 6 months with the boys and I'm having a hard time thinking about my baby already starting on solids! I'll probably start giving her some cereal here pretty soon. I have no idea how she's going to respond though because she spits out her vitamins, immunizations, and tylenol, so I'm curious to see how she does with food. 

6. She has really discovered toys and loves them. She reaches, holds them, and brings them to her mouth.

7. She chews on EVERYTHING. I'm almost convinced she's actually teething based on the amount of drool and chewing that has been going on. 

8. She's really into her feet right now. Anytime she is laying on her back she has her feet up and is holding on to them. It makes diaper changes just a little tricky. 

9. She is so social and loves her brothers. She would be perfectly content to have them sit and chat with her all day.

10. She loves her bouncy chair. She can hang out in it for the longest time just watching everything that is happening. It saves me some days when I'm trying to get things done.

We were driving in the car and the boys suddenly started laughing and saying, "Alba's a pirate!" I had no idea what they meant until we stopped and I saw this.

Per Ian, they were a "two-headed snake."

This baby is my buddy and we can't get enough of her. She's the perfect addition and we love her smiley self.
