We were scheduled to have her 4-month checkup with Dr. Tess on Thursday, 2/16, but Audrey was sick all that week with a bad cough. So we rescheduled to today, 2/21/12. Overall, she looks really good. Dr. Tess was really pleased with her development, growth, and overall health. She had to get 1 shot today. Thank goodness it was only 1 shot... it was a combo with 3 shots in 1. I held Audrey on my lap while the nurse gave her the shot in her right leg. She took it like a champ! No crying at all!

Clothes: size 6 months (3-6 months)
Diaper: size 1-2 Huggies
Food: Breastmilk with 1 feeding of rice cereal mixed with breastmilk at "dinnertime".
Sleep: Audrey is sleeping through the night!

| I can't get enough of these leggings! |
Audrey still continues to entertain us and make us laugh. Her smiles are the best thing in the whole entire world. Here is a recap of this month in pictures:
 |
| This is our "Snap Out of It" picture. It makes me laugh so hard, and now anytime anyone needs a "snap out of it", this is what we email. So funny! We've joked that I should send this in to Ellen, but we need to come up with a good caption/back story first. Suggestions welcome! |

| One early morning before daycare: |
Audrey loves her teachers at daycare (or "school" as we call it), Ms. Andresson, Ms. Craig, and Ms. Hill. They are so nice and really enjoy Audrey. When we get to daycare in the morning, Audrey looks up and just smiles at Ms. Andresson. And in the afternoon either Ms. Craig or Ms. Hill will be watching her, and she just looks over and smiles at both of them, too. That's reassuring to me. I love seeing our little girl happy.
Audrey is now sitting up with the help of pillows around her.

Audrey still loves sucking her thumb. She loves bringing both of her hands together then bringing them to her mouth together to suck her thumb. Now, she's interlocking her fingers a lot, too.
 |
| Audrey taking a nap one morning. |
Audrey loves to nap at daycare. If she only naps for 2-3 hours on a given day, Carl and I joke that "we got our money's worth" that day. Many days she naps from 9am-1 or 2pm... 4-5 hour straight without waking to even eat! She's still sleeping through the night (for the most part), so we aren't concerned.

| Audrey and Aunt Jennifer |
 |
| I love this girl! Look at that face. Seriously. |
 |
| "Look! I want to wear bows in my hair when I play sports, just like my Auntie Amber does." |
Seeing Audrey smile is the best thing in the whole world. She has even started laughing a little bit, especially when Chief "speaks". Love it! And she really "coos" and makes a lot of sounds. We have conversations sometimes where she will "razz"... like a wet gurgling sound that she makes. Once she makes that noise, I will make it too. We go back and forth. I wonder what she's trying to say!

| SuperBowl Sunday. Aunt Jennifer got Audrey this onesie, and ironically, this was the only outfit she didn't poop on that day. |
Audrey now rolls over from her back to her stomach. It's been about a week now that she's been able to do this, and it's really fun to see her playing on her activity mat. The only problem is that now she's rolling all over the place in her crib. She'll roll over to her stomach and start crying, not wanting to roll back over to her back. As a result, naps at home have been a little more challenging.
We are just feeding the rice cereal once a day, but in about a week, we will add in another feeding. By 5 months, Dr. Tess wants her to have 3 rice cereal feedings a day at standard mealtimes (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner). Then at 6 months, we will start with baby food. Oh boy!
Each day keeps getting more and more fun with Audrey! We love our little girl!
