Louisa @ 4 Months

Louisa's fourth month flew by!  About a week before she turned 4 months, I was still telling people she was 3 months when they asked her age.  I think it went by so fast because her temperament has improved so much.  She goes to sleep very well now, without needing much soothing.  She is happy in the car and just happy in general.

 At 4 months old, Louisa...
...weighs 11 lbs 8 oz (10th percentile and 3 lbs less than Ezra at the same age).
...is 23 1/2 inches tall (21st percentile).
...wakes up 1-2 times a night (I jinxed myself on this one by posting she was sleeping through the night at 3 months).
...wears size 1 diapers.
...still in 0-3 month clothes.
...still loves sucking on her hands and still won't take a pacifier.
...sleeps in her bassinet in our closet (thankfully she is small and still fits in the bassinet nicely, because I'm dreading transitioning her into the same room as Ezra.  I imagine myself waking up to two children every time she cries, instead of just one.)
...loves her toys, especially her ball and giraffe.  When you give one to her she quickly brings it to her mouth and tears into it like a lion.
...recently discovered her feet and loves to grab her toes.
...has very little hair.  Mostly bald except for a small patch on top, a mullet at the nape of her neck, and a little around her cowlick that sticks straight up.
...is talking, smiling, and laughing more and more everyday.

Still a skinny girl, but her cheeks are getting chubbier!

Her favorite little ball.  Ezra seems to give it to her all the time, because I'll leave the room and come back to find it in her hands.

Sucking those fingers!

The only time she gives me grief is at church, which really isn't her fault since she just naps better in the crib now and by the time the 3 hour block is over she is exhausted.  It doesn't help either that I'm trying to teach a handful of 3 year olds while she's crying too.  Marc will take her when he's not teaching or conducting Elders quorum, but then he's usually helping out in nursery so either way she's not getting our full attention.  But that's life with babies...and we love this baby!
