4 Months Old!

Katelyn is 4 months old! I cannot believe she is already 4 months. I think the last 4 months I was pregnant felt like the longest 4 months of my adult life, and these past months have been the fastest. I cannot believe how much joy she has already brought into our lives.

We had her 4 month appointment yesterday and here are her stats:
Length: 25.75 inches (96 percentile)
Weight: 14 lbs, 14 oz (77 percentile)
Head circumference: 41 cm (65 percentile)

She already has an active and independent personality. She loves grabbing our fingers and using us to help her pull up into a sitting and, more often, standing position. She LOVES trying to stand and has a triumphant look on her face every time we pull her up. She rarely cries, but as the pediatrician was examining her she started crying. Rather than lying on the table, he suggested I hold her... still crying. Finally, Justin suggested I let her stand. I held her in a standing position and she happily let him finish the exam! She also enjoys the bouncer and Exersaucer, as well as sitting in the Bumbo. And we enjoy having so many places to put her!

Like most babies her age, she loves putting anything and everything in her mouth. Her favorite toys to chew are her hands, followed closely by my hands. She really doesn't care for a pacifier most of the time, and hasn't found her thumb, specifically, but sometimes I think she's going to fit her whole hand in her mouth! She'll chew on anything - fingers, toys, even clothes:

Katelyn doesn't love tummy time, but she's pretty good at it. She's rolling over from her back to her belly fairly regularly, but then she cries to be flipped back over. This happened 4 times one night. That was fun...

Here is her 4 month rocking chair picture: 

We love her more and more every day!
