4 months old!

Natalie is 4 months old today! We're guessing she is about 13.5lbs and 24+inches, we'll find out the "official" numbers at her appointment on Friday. She's still wearing 0-3mo clothes. We washed up the 6mo stuff, but she's not quite ready for them yet.

She has started reaching for her toys and holds on to her fish-ies that hang from her play mat. One fish has music, but it only lasts about 5 seconds. This is good because we don't have to listen to it forever, but it's also bad because you have to sit there and continue pressing Play. She'll look at you, then the toy, then back at you and then the toy. I'm sure she is saying "c'mon mom, turn it back on!"

Here's some pictures from today. She's wearing her Valentine's outfit, it's still a little big, but pretty darn cute (thanks Diane!)









The transition to work has been pretty smooth. The first few days were tough to leave her, but definitely easier knowing she is not with strangers! She seems pretty content when I return home, so I think it's working out for her too.

We've battled the first cold this week. She started with a little bit of a cough, then the congestion set in. We've been making friends with the Big Green Sucker, keeping her nose clear. I think the worst is past, and the good news is she didn't seem too effected by it. A few fussier days, but nothing major!
