Happy 4 months old McKinley
I cannot believe it has been four months already. Where has the time gone? You have changed so much in just this little
bit of time here on earth. At 2 months
you weighed 12 lbs 5 oz. and at 3 months you weighed around 14 lbs. Here what you are doing: You are eating every 4 hours. If you take a bottle then you drink between
4.5 and 5 ounces at a time. Your last
feeding at night is around 8 and you are ready to be laid down between 8:30 and
9:00. You will then usually sleep until
3 in the morning and then go back to sleep until 8:30 or so. For the month of May you stayed with Mrs.
April during the day. We are forever
grateful that she decided to take you in.
I am sure between you and her boys you were a handful. Now it is summertime. You are beginning to coo and make
noises. You also like to drool. I think you soak at least two outfits a day. You love to smile at the people you
love. Your sisters like to read to you
and talk to you and sing to you. You
just smile and smile at them. You do not
like to lie down. You are trying your
best to pull yourself up.
You have already been on your first road trip. At the end of May we took a trip to South GA
to visit Mama. It is hard to believe
that Statesboro is not where you were born.
Both of your sisters were born there.
Mama was so excited to hold you and see you. You did great in the car for such a long
ride. While there you had some visitors:
Mrs. Pete who is Mama’s best friend, our cousin Keri, Aunt Latrelle, and Uncle
Joey. Of course they thought you were
cute.
In June, you attended your first VBS. I have to say between the many Mrs. Lynns,
Mrs. Sharon, and Mrs. Pam you were spoiled like crazy. You also attended Mosaic Art camp. You stayed in the nursery while I helped Mrs.
Lindsay teach the God Rods. Two sweet
ladies spoiled you that week. Two week
in a row of being held whenever you wanted can we say rotten? You had your first visit in the swimming pool
at Mrs. Amy’s. You did great and fell
asleep in your float. At the end of June
we headed to Cape San Blas, Florida for your first beach trip. We were in the car for 9 hours and you did
great coming and going. You loved the
pool and played in your bumbo while at the beach. You even went snorkeling with the crew.
On Monday we went for your 4 month checkup. You weighed 15 lbs and 10 oz. and stretched
to 25 inches and some in length. You are
in the 90th percentile for both weight and height. You are growing. Within the last week we started you on cereal
and have tried carrots. You loved the
rice cereal but not a big fan of carrots.
I know in the next few weeks you will change so much. I pray that time does not fly by and that I
will relish my time with you.
Love that sweet girl! and the new blog look :)
