Happy {belated} Monthday....

LILLIAN LANDRY KING!!

you are

FOUR MONTHS OLD!!

What have you been up to?

(I started this last night but fell asleep at my computer. This does not reflect my love for you!)

Well, to begin with. Mommy fail. You won't have your 4 month well check until you are a week shy of 5 months old. Dr. H is in high demand with summer physicals, vaccines, etc... I will guess the following:

Length: ~25 inches

Weight: ~ 14 pounds

Head Circumference: ~40.5 cm

You wore a NB outfit on July 4th but you typically wear all 3 month clothes with some 3-6 month. You still wear size 1 diapers, but we may move you up to the 1/2 size after we run out of this pack. You still eat 5 times/day and we just added an ounce to your "lunch" bottle with Miss Jessica. You have once again decided that nursing is pretty cool. 

We put you down between 8-8:30 each night and you sleep until 6 or 6:30. I nurse you and then you go back to sleep until 9 - 10am! You like your sleep! :) I love waking you up because the moment you are unswaddled you do this giant stretch and coo and smile and just start my day with such a ray of sunshine. 

I think I've only heard you cry 3 times this month and those were all caused by your sister.

(In her defense, she was "pay-ing, Mommy"). 

You are a delight. 

(And getting rolly!!) 

Speaking of sister. 

She still loves you. You still love her. She knows that she is not supposed to touch your head/face so instead she gives us a very mischievous look and kisses you instead. (Because who can get mad at that). 

Radley loves laying next to you trying to make you laugh. He always tells me how cute and sweet you are. I think he really is ok with "another sister". 

Big news this month:

YOU LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!

We were at dinner and Radley did something and you just thought is was hilarious. You laughed and laughed. And then he laughed. And Emmy laughed. And it was just the most beautiful sound. 

You are a "talker" always cooing. You also "growl/purr" when you are happy. Just like a cat. This usually happens right after you eat. It's like you are telling us all is right in the world of Landry. 

And if your squeals indicate how loud you will become... Lord help us. :)

You are a master of tummy time and still roll over from tummy to back from time to time. Your head is getting stronger and you can "sit up" on the bed with just a boppy behind you. 

Your hair is getting crazy long on top and finally growing back in on the bottom. Basically you look like Donald Trump, but clearly MUCH cuter. 

{Above is what was going on while I was taking these pics. Emmy wanted your feet to touch. Below is when she decided to finally get up and attack you. You loved it.}

You are joy. You are my heart personified. First, Radley. Then, Emmy. Now, you. 

It just grows. 

We love LoVe LOVE you Lovely Landry.
