4 Months

We went to the doctor today for Colbie's 4 month check-up. Everything looks great! She is now 13 lbs, 10 oz and 24 1/4 in long. The doctor says she's perfect. We talked about her cradle cap, starting cereal, and her lack of sleeping through the night. He recommended putting some baby oil on her scalp every night for the cradle cap and I think that helps a little. He gave the go ahead on starting cereal so we gave that a try tonight. I'll write a separate post on that though. Finally, he said that it's okay that she doesn't sleep through the night, that's just who she is. I'm okay with this since I don't work so we just sleep a little later in the morning.

She also got 2 shots today. She didn't even cry after the first one! The nurse said the second one stings though so she was pretty upset after that one. We go back in 2 months for another check-up and more shots.

Here are some 4 month pictures!!

Colbie's First Christmas!

I know that I was probably more excited about Colbie's first Christmas than she was but I don't care. I made her outfit for Christmas Eve.

We had such an amazing day! We woke up around 8:30 to open presents. Colbie got a cute yellow and grey outfit, an interactive mailbox and an interactive steering wheel from Santa. We got her a gloworm and a jumperoo.

We went to my parents where she got a Bumbo and a bundle cover for her car seat.

3 Months

It seems I have some catching up to do! Colbie is almost four months old and I'm just now posting her 3 month pictures. We were very busy getting ready for her first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years!

We didn't go to the doctor at 3 months so I am only guessing that she weighed about 11 1/2 lbs at 3 months old. I have no idea how long she was though!

She is sitting up with little support now. We bought her a jumperoo for Christmas and she loves it! Her feet don't quite reach the ground so we have a blanket under it. She also doesn't yet understand how to jump but she moves around a lot and makes it light up and the music play. She sits there by herself and giggles while playing. It is so super cute.

Here she is at 3 months old!

Two Month Check-Up

Colbie went to her two month check-up last Thursday. She is now 10 lbs, 8.5 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long. She is getting so big! She is growing perfectly. She also had to get two shots. She was definitely not a fan. She did the whole open mouth, no sound, not breathing cry that just breaks my heart. I tried to tell her that it was for her own good but she just didn't understand. As a treat for her being so good, I ate some extra cookies that she got to taste a few hours later. :D

Here's my sweet girl at two months old!

Colbie Goes to the Park

We took Colbie on her first trip to the park on a chilly Saturday afternoon. We went to Mitchell Memorial on a whim one day. We took along Alex and were just going to take a little walk.





We came across a playground and decided to play! We took her down the slide and on the swings. She had so much fun playing with her daddy! (She just doesn't realize it yet.)

Smiley Baby

Colbiehas really grown up a lot in these last 8 weeks. She is really starting to get a personality and we just love watching it constantly develop. My favorite is when she looks at me and just smiles without any prompting. It is so cute. Some days though she really makes me and her daddy work for a smile!
