Happy 4 Months Lydia!

*She's definitely up to something fun!*

"This boy is ALWAYS around me..."

*She's got sweet big baby cheeks... and thighs to match!*

Lydia Marie turned 4 months old yesterday. Wow, it went by fast, but at this point I'm just assuming it always will. Before you know it she'll be 6 months, then celebrating her first birthday, then driving. It's just crazy!

We had her 4 month well-baby check this morning, and convienantly, (or so I think, and to which the pediatrician agreed) she was sick. HA HA. Okay, well really, just a runny nose, congested and sneezing. I think she would have gotten sicker perhaps from all the bugs running around but, I have the magic cure, breastmilk,... so she's fine :) I wasn't worried about that anyway, and the doc said she's perfect. She is SO BIG, she weighs 16 lbs 9 oz and is "just over 25 and half inches" as the nurse said. It's unbelievable. Where did my baby go!? I keep telling Michael I kinda wish we could have a little 5 pounder or something because they grow so FAST and don't stay small for long! But I can't complain that we have healthy happy babies, we are so blessed.

She got shots again today... so that wasn't cool... but we all survived. This time, she didn't seem to hate me quite as much. This is probably due to the lack of intense post-baby hormones in my system which may have made it seem dramatically worse last time, as well as the fact that she's bigger and can deal with it better and got over it very quickly as soon as I held her. She rarely ever cries this girl, it's amazing.

Let's see... newest Lydia thing would be her CHEEKS. For some reason, most likely due to overload of angelic qualities, Lydia's cheeks are ALWAYS pink. She's precious, the doctor said she looks like a little cherub... the man knows how to win a mother's heart.

Will update more whenever I possibly can... things are just KINDA crazy around here... (what else is new!?)

GOD BLESS YOU!
