Genesis at 4 months

As you can see, monthly pictures are getting a little more difficult. First she insists on eating everything these days and the basket looked mighty tasty. Then we have a little man who has seemed a lot more jealous than usual these days, so he hopped in the basket too! :o)



Another month just flew by!! So what is new in our little girls world, well at 4 months Genesis:

- Weighs 16 lbs. 13 oz.

- Length - 26 inches long!

- Wears size three disposable diapers.

- Wears 6 month clothing and some 9 month and some 6-12 month.

- Has the same problem that her brother did with pants....the waist is too big and the pants are too short!

- Still a super smiley little girl and we get lots of people telling us so!

- Laughs a lot, especially now that we know her ticklish spots. She also loves to laugh at her big brother.

- Rolls EVERYWHERE!! I will put her down and will come back and find her in a completely different area. Thank goodness she knows how to roll back and doesn't get "stuck" as often as she first did! I think she will be crawling before I know it!

- Loves her toys and is grabbing everything and anything. Has even started going for her brothers toys and that isn't sitting too well with him. We do have our moments though, sometimes he thinks it is funny and loads her up with toys, other times he gets pretty upset and tells her to "share". (guess what we are working on with him)!

- Loves to stand up and jump (time to get the jolly jumper out).

- LOVES her exersaucer!
- Likes to be read too and likes when I sing!

- Blows raspberries and has found her feet!


- Is going through some serious teething issues, but still no teeth!! We finally found some medicine that works (natural medicine) and have been feeding it to her like crazy! She has been drooling like crazy, attacking her hands and anything she can get her hands on, and screams (I am not sure if it is her finding her voice or if she is in pain, but nonetheless it is quite bothersome and even Zech tells her to stop and that she is hurting his ears!)

- Due to the teething issues, her sleep has been HORRIBLE!! Worse than when she was a newborn. I am up almost every two hours with her and not because she wants to feed, she just wants to be held and comforted or sleeping right next to me. So I am a walking Zombie lately!

- Has her first cold---which is probably due to the teething.

- Has curly hair. I kind of thought she did when she was born, but now that her hair is getting longer, I am surprised at how curly it gets when wet.

- Has really bad Cradle Cap. I have been trying to get rid of it using Coconut Oil and Olive oil. It works, but I need to keep up with it. Zech had it until he was two and once we buzzed his hair we got rid of it (I don't plan on buzzing her hair, so I need to stay on top of it)!

- Experienced her first snow! I didn't take her out, I just opened the door and let it blow on her face (she didn't seem to like it too much)! :o)

Enjoyable posting. It is fun to hear about the personalities, interests, growth, etc of your children. It will be fun for you, in later years, to reread what you have written. Have you considered having any of your blog printed?
