Eighteen Weeks

(sitting like such a big girl!)


Our little lady, or Viv-ster as the girls like to call her, is officially four months old!  It is crazy how fast the times goes by, and I'm pretty sure I've said this a million times, but it really does.   Iris was musing the other day that it seems as though she's always been a part of our family, that it's hard to remember what it was like before she was with us.  How sweet is that? 

She is such an easy baby.  Apart from a rather quirky particularity when it comes to drinking milk, she is so mellow and happy.  And I think I can officially take a break from freaking out over her weight gain and growth as she was 14 lbs, 4 oz and 251/2 in long at her four month check this morning! 

Some of the things I am loving right now:

*Vivian laughing hysterically when either of the girls jump.  I laugh hysterically watching them jump like maniacs trying to get her to laugh.

*Vivian holding on to her toes

*Iris talking sweet baby talk with her and letting Vivian chew and hug her beloved Poochie

*Not doing the 10:30 feeding anymore.  Hallelujah for getting to go to bed whenever I please again!

*Vivian trying to get my attention when someone else is holding her by "talking" loudly so I will notice her  and moving her body towards me.

*Hearing her shriek of delight at hearing me when I go to wake her up from naps
