Henley 4 months

Henley Faith turned 4 months old on August 11th.  We made our trip to the doctors office to see how she has been progressing and the doctor was pleased.  I was hoping for a little more weight gain but I am glad that she is doing so well.  She weights 11.5 lbs putting her in the 4th percentile and is 24 inches long putting her in the 30th percentile.  She is officially my little peanut.  The doctor requested that we work up to two cereal feedings in a day between now and her 6 month appointment so she got her first taste of rice cereal.

 
Much like I remember her sister at that age, she didn't care for the cereal.  She has not yet figure out the whole spoon thing so she probably gets a total of two spoonfuls right now.  She still has the tongue thrust so everything that goes in, gets pushed right back out.  I am not in any huge rush for her to be eating because baby food is a pain but we will keep trying each day.  Here is a picture of all the kiddos before Kevin's cousin Brian's wedding reception (more to follow on that)...

Chase and Leah sure do love their Henley and Henley loves them in return.  In the last month Henley has become very active.  She has started grabbing for toys and playing with them.  Her favorite toy right now is her feet.  Good thing she always has them with her.  She also likes to roll over onto her tummy and then eventually get mad about it.  She can roll back over but doesn't do it as readily as she goes onto her tummy.  Usually half way through the night she rolls on her tummy and then sleeps that way the rest of the night.  She is full of joy, willing to share a smile with just about anyone.  She also likes the sound of her own voice, talking and squealing whenever she can.  She has adapted well to a two nap a day schedule and for the most part enjoys going to sleep.  She still loves her bath time and loves any attention that she can get.  We are blessed with this sweet little angel.  It has been 4 fantastic months!
