4 Months!!!

Lucy is 4 months!! But first - a sneak peak of the 2 minute photo shoot by Christina Kahler... a big thank you goes out to her for getting us pictures for our Christmas cards! Love them!

Now to our 4 month little peanut - LUCY! And I say little because she is barely reaching the 10% percentile for everything! She weighs in at 11 pounds 7 ounces...is 23 1/4 tall and her head is 16 inches... as the doctor put it - she is petite but portionate.

She was just intrigued by the doctor and was watching every move and let him do whatever he wanted. She is right on time for her milestones and is not behind at all. In fact she has been given the green light to start rice cereal and then after that for a couple of weeks...food!!!

I looked back at our blog and Heidi was more than a pound bigger at this age and a 1/2 inch taller - now she was a freak of nature and very advanced for her physical ability - but who knows, Lucy might just catch up. I swear each day - she is getting stronger!!

The doctor said her now hairless head on the back is common and her hair will grow back. I guess she has two birthmarks back there that will fade over time and they are just really irritated right now. He prescribed some ointment and even after one application - Lucy seems not as irritated! Maybe she will stop grabbing her head like she wants to rip it off!

She was finally able to enjoy some time in the exerciser saucer - but as you can tell - she is just sooo little!

The cardiologist appointment isn't until Friday and I will report their findings as well. But so far we have a normal baby on our hands!

Since we are so close to Christmas - we decided we better get on that decorating thing... Chris completed the lights outside and put up 4 or 5 trees - I lost count.

We have been DOWN with sickness here in the Gonzales household - so sorry, not a lot of pictures. I personally was blessed with the stomach flu, that finished with a nice case of bronchitis. Heidi had a fever from Thursday to Monday and she finished with an ear infection and upper respiratory infection and Chris came down with the stomach flu today. Lucy so far - she has lucked out. I'm sick of being sick and this house needs a DEEP clean!
