4 Month Stats

I cannot believe that Madelyn is 4 months old already! She is growing and changing so much! The doctor said that she is doing great and is healthy. She got her shots and cried while they were being given to her, but she calmed down when they were all done and I picked her up.

Weight 15 lbs 13 oz 90th percentile

Height 25 inches 75th percentile

Head 40 1/4 cm 25th percentile

Since she rolled over on Sunday I have not gotten her to roll over again. She has good control of her hands and loves to grab at things. She also really likes sitting in her bumbo chair.

Swimming Time!

A couple of weeks ago Maddie went swimming for the first time. She had dipped her feet in the pool a time or two, but this was her first time in the pool floatie. She loved it! I think she is going to like the water.

Maddie is tired from the big day swimming! She took a BIG nap afterwards.

Sully LOVES the pool! If no one is out there to throw the ball in the pool for him he will entertain himself. He will drop the ball in the pool and let the current take it to a certain point, then he will jump in and get it. He repeats this process until we take the ball away from him. We have to hide it when we don't want him to jump in the pool. He will not jump in the pool unless he has his ball or we are in the pool. Sully is tired from his big day of swimming.

Madelyn Rolls over at 4 months!

We have been working with Maddie to get her to roll over and she finally did it today! She rolled from her tummy to her back. I actually missed it the first time that she did it. I had laid her down on her activity gym (it was on the floor) on her tummy and I went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. When I came back she was on her back and her eyes were really big. She had rolled over by herself! I got the camera and then put her back on her tummy and she rolled over again. She did it a few more times, but then she started getting tired and frustrated. Today she is exactly 4 months old!

July 4th

For the fourth Adam, Maddie and I went to New Braunfels to watch the fireworks. We first went to Rudy's BBQ to eat. Needless to say the restaurant was hopping with people who had just come in from 'Floating the River.' While in line Adam and I commented how we felt old! Here we are in line with a baby in a carseat carrier among near sober people who were getting food after a long day of toobing. It wasn't that long ago that we had floated the river ourselves (last summer), but we didn't have a baby with us then. We had a good time and enjoyed our dinner. Then we headed over to watch the fireworks. We parked in the Schlitterbahn parking lot and watched a great fireworks show.

Happy 4th of July!!

17 Weeks!!
