4 Months!

At 4 month Kendra is reading music and can play some simple songs on the piano. I know...child prodigy, right? HAHA! Just kidding, but aren't these pictures the cutest? I went to hang out with my sister Sonia yesterday because it was Saturday and and both our husbands were working so we decided it was play time. She got a new camera and wanted to try it out on a photoshoot with Kendra so we got to work and I just couldn't resist having her sit at the piano. I originally wanted to put her in my niece Ashton's violin case and have Kendra hold the violin but she was WAAAY to big for that case. I love that she is sitting all by herself like a big girl in these pics but she doesn't actually sit up alone yet. However, she is learning quickly from sitting in her bumbo throughout the day. At her 4 month check-up she weighed 14 lbs 15 oz and was in the 75th percentile for height and weight. She doesn't roll over yet and it's partially my fault because I don't give her enough tummy time. She's such a puker so it's hard to find the right time to let her play on her tummy without making a huge mess and having her smother herself in it. She's also very chunky so I think she has a hard time getting her weight around. She smiles and coos all the time...it's VERY easy to make her smile. She also laughs a lot and is very ticklish. I love to tickle her. Her Dr. said to wait until she was 5 months to start her on rice cereal but since Ryder started at 4 months I gave her some anyways, and she did really well with it! She seemed to like it. But then I thought about it...and the fact that she's super chunk...and decided to just wait til next month to start giving it to her daily. She drinks 5oz bottles 5 times/day and sleeps about 8-9 hours straight at night. She's a very good-natured, happy baby like Ryder was. And speaking of Ryder...she LOVES him. She gets the biggest grin every time she sees him and he loves to wake up and see her and give her lots of love. I can't wait until she's a little older and they can interact. He likes for her to watch cartoons with him and sometimes when I'm trying to get something done I'll lay her in my bed and he'll go lay down next to her and talk to her. She looks SOOO much like me, especially when she just wakes up I can't help but stare at her cuz it's like I'm looking at myself as a baby. I am very attached to her and LOVE having a girl.
