Rachel turns 4 months

Rachel is already 4 months! She is grabbing at toys and is even putting them into her mouth. She drools all the time but her doctor said that he could not feel any teeth coming yet. She is growing well. She now weighs 12 lb 9 oz. and is 23 3/4 in. long. He said she is doing really well for being a month early. She has already doubled her birth weight.

She is getting more vocal all the time. She even cries more vocally. She is also much more expressive with her face.

She is starting to pull her knees up under her. She is still working on lifting her chest at the same time. But we are already at the beginning stages of crawling.

JP makes her smile and laugh all the time. He loves to kiss her and give her lots of hugs.













She likes to drink from a bottle now so I am pumping all the time. I am glad she will take my milk from a bottle. We are going to be starting her on rice cereal tomorrow (hopefully we can get a video of it and post it).

Paul and I love to hear Rachel laugh and as I said JP gets her to laugh the most. Here she is laughing at something JP did.













We cannot wait to see what Rachel does next. I hope we don't miss it. It feels like she is growing up way faster then JP.

And for those of you who just cannot get enough pictures these are for you...
