4 months

Rilynn turned 4 months on January 19th. She is so alert and is really starting to take everything in. She is reaching out for things, especially Laidan's ears! Laidan licks her hands, but is still unsure of Rilynn. On her 4 month birthday, I left for my first business trip to San Diego. It was VERY hard to leave her, but GG flew up to St Louis to help daddy take care of her. I knew she was in good hands and would be well taken care of; however, it didn't make it any easier for me to leave. Here is a picture of Rilynn in her exersaucer on her 4 month birthday.

On January 31st we took Rilynn for her 4 month immunizations. We found out that we have a big girl. At 4 months and 12 days, Rilynn weighed 16 lbs 1 oz and was 25.5 inches long! She is in the 95th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for length. Although looking at her you would not think that she weighs that much, she is just long (but does have some chubby thighs!). Her pediatrician says that she is very well proportioned and with how active she is, will slim up significantly once she starts crawling and walking. To me she is just absolutely adorable, chubby thighs and all!
