Molly Ann,
What a big month you've had?! You have learned so much and grown so much and have really started to show your personality:)
You love to smile, you love to kick your legs, you love to watch brother, and we love to just be with you! You have completed our little puzzle and we couldn't be happier;)
You've settled in perfectly at Ms. Kelly's and we soak up every evening we have! We travel to Daddy's games as much as we can and you and Lucas make many trips to the grocery store with me. It's a challenge sometimes, but I love it:) This season won't last long, as I already know. It's already flying by!
You started off this 4th month with your first little vacation:) We went to Shawnee for a softball tournament. You stayed in your first hotel and you and Lucas got to come see OBU where I went to college. It was so fun walking around with the two of you:)
You then got to meet my sweet friend from OBU, Chandra:) We always go to her house for Labor Day and she and Justin loved meeting you!
Your other major event was meeting another 2nd cousin, Mayson! We went to see her at the hospital and then at her house. You looked huge next to her! She's so sweet and tiny and I'm so glad you all live so close to each other:)
Other than that, we spent most of our days going to softball games and lounging around:) These weeks go by too fast and we can't get enough of you and Lucas! He just adores you and loves on you and calls you "my baby". He loves when you smile and loves when you make noise and loves when you look at him!
You now eat 6z every 3.5-4 hours and are just starting rice cereal. We went to the doctor for your 4-month check-up and you weigh 14 lbs 14 oz (75%) and are 25 1/4 in long (82%). Chunky monkey:) He says you're just perfect. You have rolled from back to belly a few times and Dr. Freed that you went this way first. Usually it's the other way around, but Lucas did it that way first too.
You go to bed around 7-7:30p and we have to wake you up at 6:30a to go to Ms. Kelly's. You sleep great. You are still sleeping on your belly swaddled under your arms, but once you can roll from belly to back, we will have to put you in a sleep sack. You take a good nap in the mornings and in the afternoons, with a catnap after lunch and sometimes in the evenings. You absolutely love your bath and you kick like crazy and laugh the whole time!
You love to lay on your mat and you really like your bouncer too. We are starting to put you in your Bumbo to get you ready for solid food, but you just love to lean forward. You are really good at holding your head up, but you don't "sit up" very good yet. You do love tummy time, so I know you'll get the hang of it:)
I just can't believe we are already at this point. You are about to get very mobile and experience all the yummy baby foods. It's such a fun stage and I'm excited, but I'll miss these days more than you'll know.
This month especially, I want to remember your chubby thighs, your coos, the way you love to kick your legs, your "droopy" cheeks, and the way you rub your eyes when you get sleepy.
You are a breath of fresh air and just the sweetest little thing. We love you so much and are so grateful for your little life. We can't wait to watch you grow and change and our prayer is to someday love the Lord and serve Him with your life. You will do great things, Molly Ann!
We love you,
Mama and Daddy
