4 Month Stats and Pictures

So, Molly had her 4 month appointment today. Here are her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs. 14 oz. (50%)
Length: 25 inches (70%)
Head: 15 7/8 (25-30%)

So essentially, I have a David and Goliath situation on my hands. Brody was soooo much bigger than her at this point, and it is hard for me to get used to her size. At Brody's 4 month appointment, he weighed 19 lbs. 8 oz. Brody was never on the weight chart and his head was always in the 75%. The only thing similar is their length. Molly seems to be long and skinny, and Brody was short and stocky. Pretty amazing how they can be so different. We started feeding her cereal this weekend and she loved it! Her doctor said that we could give it to her a couple times a day. I told her she only gets 4 6oz bottles a day, which I don't think is much, but she is not fussy between feedings, which is every 4 hours. Then at night, she gets her last bottle around 7:30 pm and doesn't eat again until 8:00 in the morning. The doctor said that while it doesn't seem like a lot of formula, she wouldn't change anything because she is growing fine and is happy and content. So, I think I am going to start offering her cereal in the morning and keep the one before her last bottle at night.

Here are a couple of pictures of her gobbling up her cereal. She LOVED it! (We got a new camera and I love it!) She looks so tiny in the highchair.

Ted got home on Saturday and we all are excited to have him home. I took Brody to the airport and he ran to him when he saw him. It was really cute. Then, on Saturday and Sunday, he wasl all about Daddy. We were outside trying to do some yard work and Brody was excited about being oustide and "hanging with Daddy!" Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Our weather has been beautiful and it has been nice to hang out outside.



My computer is acting really slow. I will try and post more pictures tomorrow. I have many more to post.

Wow, she really is so much smaller then Brody. Isn't it amazing how different two babies can be. That is so cute about Daddy time. Samuel is starting to be all about Daddy too. I love it. He gets so excited when Dave comes home. We have got to get together soon, so the boys can play!!
