4 months old!


Now that Scarlett and Isaac will be 5 months in just a few days I thought I'd post on their 4 month check up. It's just that it gets a little busy over here sometimes and I don't always have time to do all things I want to do. So here we go.

Scarlett is a beautiful little girl who just gets more and more beautiful everyday.
Her stats are as follows: she weighs a healthy 11.5 lbs which is the 8% tile
her height is 24 inches which is the 35% tile
her head circumference is 16 inches which is the 36% tile
HOORAY FOR BEING ON THE CHART!
While it seems like she is getting so big, she is still a tiny bundle of joy.
She loves to smile and will even laugh if you kiss her on her neck.
She still spits up every time she eats which has deterred Miles from ever giving her her pacifier.
She naps like a champ! She almost sleeps through the night. She is not a fussy girl one bit.
She loves a hot bath and pretty bows in her hair. (Although on 2 occasions I have found those bow bands right across her eyes.)
She gets at least 2 outfits a day due to her drooly nature (and reflux).
Her eyes are still blue but definitely have a few brown flecks in them.
She loves to snuggle her daddy and thoroughly enjoys a good beat box rhythm.

Isaac is mama's handsome boy. While he looks like daddy he sure LOVES his mama!
His stats are: weight at 11.7 lbs which is the 2% tile for boys
His height is 25.5 inches which is the 67% tile (long & lean like his mommy)
His head circumference is 15 inches which is the 0.2% tile
(So even though he appears to be the crowd favorite, Scarlett's the one with the big head.)
Everyone says Scarlett looks bigger but Isaac is longer and weighs more.
Isaac is all smiles.
He loves to be held...a lot.
He is not as content to sit in the swing and doesn't nap as well as his sis.
Like his sis he CAN put himself to sleep and does pretty well at night.
He is very ticklish and laughs constantly. It's just part of who he is & the meaning of "Isaac".
He can roll over from back to tummy & back again. We can't leave him anywhere.
He still bobbles his head around but when on his tummy looks like he's gonna start to crawl.
He also enjoys a hot bath and then wants to be cuddled.
His eyes have started to go a little green.
The boys are constantly fighting over who gets to hold him.

They still co-bed but with Isaac rolling all around I'm not sure how long that will last.

We love these babies so much and look forward to being sealed as a family next month! Yes, we got our letters from the First Presidency this month: Joel a sealing clearance and me a sealing cancellation. What a wonderful blessing and a joy to be a part of this gospel and to have the blessing of being an eternal family.
