Our 4-month old!

Can you believe Shelby is already 4 months old? I can't! Some days when she starts pulling off her head bands and gets mad when I try to rock her to sleep (and falls asleep just fine on her own in her own bed) and when she tries to sit up when I'm holding her and talking to her, I just wish she'd stay little just a little while longer. I was never really a baby person till I had her. She is just the BEST BABY EVER!

She rolls side to side and sometimes back to front (and HATES it because she always gets stuck). She belly laughs when she's tickled when she's naked (right before bath time is prime laugh-getting time). She gets to start rice cereal but I'm waiting till Monday after all of the weekend wedding shooting we're doing! She still can't really wear shoes because her feet are so skinny and long! But it's so darn hot I wouldn't subject her to shoes now anyway. We stick to the occasional pair of socks. She grabs her feet. She's still sleeping through the night, setting her bedtime earlier and earlier. She's pushing 13 hours at night, but I try and keep her till 12 (except those mornings when I snooze on the couch with Ben watching cartoons).

Anyway! She had her 4-month appt yesterday. Here's how her stats break down:

Length: 25-3/4in (90th)
Weight: 16lbs 3oz (90th)
Head: I don't remember, but they said it was 50th

So even though she's insanely chunky and has no neck, she's proportionate at least! But she does have some SERIOUS cheekage:






And if anyone is wondering, I got this headband (and the small pink one in the previous post) at CocoLicious Couture's Etsy Shop. They're adorable!

AND these pics of Shelby remind me of these pics of Ben when he was 6 months old. Such cute babies!!
