4 month check up



Here are the stats: (4 months 18 days old)
weight: 14 lbs (44 %-tile)
lenght: 25 inches (64 %-tile)

Here's a funny story: While the doctor had Gabby, she tooted! The doctor looked at me and asked, "Was that her?!" Yep! He said her toots smelled worse than any baby he'd met. They smelled more like a grown-ups than a babies! That's my girl!

Cute fact about Gabby: Most babies will attach onto something to comfort them. Charley has this pink blanket she has to sleep with. Gabby has also found something to attach to.....hands. If she is ever fussy, give her your hand to hold, and you'll be amazed on how fast she'll calm down. The only down side is at nights. Most nights I am dangling my hand over the crib for her to hold, and I have to stay there until she is pretty much out and I can replace my hand with a little bunch of a blanket for her to hold!

The pictures above were taken when we were out in Omaha last month. My aunt started a little photography business, and has this cool studio set up in her house! I love the pictures!!!!! She is amazing! Thank you Aunt Chrissy!

*the "red dress" in the top picture is the dress all 5 of us girls wore when we were younger for pictures, and now the grand-babies are wearing it . It is our little tradition, and the dress is only to be worn for pictures.

You should probably explain the "tradition" started because you spit up on the dress mom first put on you. She only had the red dress that Brooktynn wore to change you into. Thank you Meredith!
