Four Months Old!!!

We had our four month appointment on Friday! Annabelle is doing great. Dr. Stevens was impressed with her neck and back strength and loved her disposition, saying "what a calm sweet girl we have here!" Annabelle weighed 11lbs 13oz and grew another inch. She is in the 15% for weight and the 70% for length, making her a lean mean (no sweet) baby machine! Dr. Stevens also gave us the go ahead for adding solids to one of her feedings. Last night we did peas and they were a HUGE success! It was only the second time we had tried eating with a spoon and I was amazed at how well she did. She loved the peas so much she got a bit impatient between bites. Starting solids is a slow process. You have to do veggies (green to orange) one at a time to be sure there are no allergies (one kind per week) and then you can do fruits. I have posted a pic of AB Marie after enjoying her peas! Another fun thing Annabelle is doing this week is sucking her thumb (Daddy was a big time thumb sucker so we knew it was probably going to happen...) As you can see by the pick she does it very well. Mommy doesn't complain. It means AB can put herself back to sleep which is a wonderful thing. Speaking of sleep...we made it through one whole night, Monday...not since but it's a good sign!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL MOMMIES!
