All about Mia

Here is a few tidbits about my 4 1/2 month old sweety!

March 7th she weighed in at 13 pounds 2 ounces putting her at the 50th percentile in weight (woohoo holding tight at our biggest baby yet!)
She measured in at 23.3 inches long--between 25-50th percentile on height --on account that it is hard to make that measurement 100% accurate!

This was taken to show her band aids, poor little thing! You would think that going through another round of shots on my third child would get easier...nope! I teared up. I know her cries well enough to know when she is truly in pain, and let me tell you, she was in pain. I got her calmed down quickly though and she was just fine after that..what a trooper!


Milestones reached:

She used to reach both hands out in front of her and meet her hands together, then bring them down to her mouth, now she just goes straight for the object, your face, the toy, you name it, she's got it in her sight and she goes straight for it and aims for her mouth!

She does laugh, she makes us really work for it though! It is more like a little grunt but still so funny to hear. Mostly though she just smiles big or just looks at us like, "umm...what is wrong with you?"

She has figured out who her mom is and that she doesn't like to be held by anyone other than mom for more time than she wants to. As long as things are on her terms she is a very pleasant little baby! She does however, seem to have a very sweet and easy going disposition, active, but still can chill for awhile, and doesn't mind just sitting back and watching!

She has really taken a liking to her big bro and sis! Luke likes to make sure he is RIGHT in front of her face so she sees him, but she just watches him and smiles, with her arms and legs going as well! She does let Mckenna hold her for quite awhile and will just smile away for both of them. Daddy has been very busy lately and hasn't gotten a whole lot of face time with her, but she still gives him big smiles when he comes home from work!

Yikes...lots to read, very little pictures, sorry, been a bit busy and just can't seem to get to the camera when I really need it!
