Hallie's 4 month stats



Height 26.4 inches (99% . . . even higher than at 2 months)

Weight: 14 lbs 11 oz. (75%)
Head: 50%

She came in practically perfect in every way.  Besides a little skin rash due to eczema, she is healthy, strong and happy.  One funny thing though, she really didn't like the doctor.  Previous to this she hasn't shown any preference or stranger danger, but when he would even look at her she would start crying.

Also, I am becoming a bigger and bigger advocate of immunizations.  With all the controversy about them, I was a little nervous at first.  But now with the recent outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, rotovirus, etc.  I am SOOO thankful we have immunizations.  Plus, for my kids it is a total of about 2 minutes of crying (then I feed them) and then they have no recollection of the pain.  By the end of the feeding, I was squeezing Hallie's chunky thighs and she was laughing and giggling (she is very ticklish).  I was old enough to remember chicken pox and I am so thankful my children might not have to go through that, even if it isn't life threatening.









I am so thankful for this little gal.  She lights up my life.

What a darling little girl! These pictures are just wonderful. It looks like she is sitting up by herself now. That's a new trick I hadn't heard about. We love you all.
