4 (1/2) Month Checkup

Mari had her 4 month check up last Monday. It was really 4 1/2 months by the time we got in to the doctor!!! She continues to grow (no question there) and weighed in at 15 lbs. 10 oz. and 24.8 inches. Again she had shots - but thankfully it doesn't really seem to bother her. She was still kicking her legs like nothing happened during her bath time that night.

At four months old - she is in LUV with her toes. She loves sitting in her exersaucer and playing, and is trying to roll over. She has rolled over a few times, but is usually just content getting on her side. She talks a TON and seemed to have found her tongue back again as she is sucking on her tongue or it is constantly popping out when she is talking. Needless to say, she gives us lots of laughs every day with her little mannerisms. She still enjoys playing under her playmat as long as you are in the room with her - can't get too far away without her getting upset. But this mommy and daddy usually have no problem picking her up!!!

In other exciting news: We FINALLY have a changing table!!! Daddy has been 'working' on it since July, but obviously there have been a few things come up in the meantime and it always got put on the back burner.

Daddy forgot the last tote in the shop...

I think she likes it!!!

Also, this weekend we drove down to the casino as some of our friends were spending the night. We packed up Mari and found a tiny little swimsuit for her first 'pool' experience. She of course just loved it because she got to get naked.

All ready to head to the pool.

Not quite sure about things yet - definitely not as warm as a bath.

We lasted for about 5 seconds - I thought the water was cold - so we quickly took her out and wrapped her in a towel.
