Four Months Old Today

We just got back from the pediatrician visit for Aubrey's four month checkup. She is a growing girl!

Here are the stats:
Weight 15lbs. 11 oz.--92%
Height 26"--97%
Head Circ. 16 1/2"--80%

Apparently we have a very large baby! She and Charlotte (who is also in the 90 percentiles on weight) are poster babies for breastfeeding. Who knew you could grow so fast or get so fat on just milk? :)

I have to say it is one of the hardest things I have to do as a mom is take Aubrey to get her shots. The way she just looks right in my face and cries breaks my heart. :( At least I know she won't have any memory of it. She is fast asleep in her swing now, tired out by the trauma, poor baby.

All the nurses and doctors were taken by her smiles (pre-shots, haha) and were saying how cute she is. Everyone is surprised at how social she is--Aubrey loves looking and smiling at people and often will carry on a "conversation" with people as well. She has just started learning that when she makes noise it gets your attention, so if we aren't paying attention to her she starts yelling. She definitely enjoys being the center of attention--and she usually is.
